Epicurious Recipe App for iPhone, Android
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:07 pm
Contains a database of currently over 28,000 recipes. After a download glitch, and a re-install, it seems to be working properly. The main screen gives some broad categories (Weeknight Dinners, Cool Cocktails, Healthy Lunches, I Can Barely Cook, I Cook Like a Pro, and others). Search allows you to filter by main ingredient, meal/course, cuisine, dietary consideration and more in order to narrow things down. Individual recipes have photos and reviews, as well as stats like percent of reviewers who say they would make the recipe again. Choosing main ingredient chicken, and cuisine Cajun/Creole returned 22 recipes. You can save recipes to a shopping list, in order to have what you need to buy readily at hand. Recipes are sourced from Gourmet and Bon Appétit, "plus web-exclusive recipes from renowned chefs and cookbook authors". And it's free.
