When it comes to cookery some people have a natural flair in the kitchen, while for others it is a real struggle to put together even the most simplistic of meals. Whether you fall in to the latter or the former category it is probably fair to say you could learn something new from some of the apps available on the latest 4G phones.
Whether you’re a budding Master Chef or simply wanting to inject a little bit of excitement in to your meals your handset should be able to help. So here are a couple of apps that could appeal to people at all ends of the scale.
Jamie’s Recipes
This app, as you may have already guessed, is the creation of TV chef Jamie Oliver, a man famed for encouraging people to start thinking a little more carefully about what they are eating. The chef that has championed healthier school meals and even been bold enough to try and challenge the obesity problems faced in certain parts of the US is even kind enough to offer up a free taster for those interested in his app.
Ten recipes are included to get you started, along with three videos, although those who are left hungry for more can make in app purchases to gain access to a huge range of recipes suitable for almost any occasion. As usual with the former Naked Chef’s cookery guides things are relatively easy to follow, there are plenty of quick and tasty options and he even provides a handy shopping list for each dish so you can tick it off as you walk around the store.
Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List
If you’re a fan of fantastic food then this app could be a good enough reason on its own to check out the latest iPhone 5 deals. It brings together over 30,000 recipes from a variety of sources, so you needn’t ever find yourself short of ideas again. Perhaps one of its best features is that it enables users to narrow down the recipes they are shown by searching for keyterms or selecting items that they have in their fridge.
Alternatively, if your cupboards are empty or you’re simply in the mood to be inspired then why not browse some of the site’s most popular food and drink ideas in the featured section. It includes everything from cocktails to great meals for weeknights.
