Perfection in an app!

anibee

Version: 1.0

Finally, the app we've all been waiting for! I've been a fan of Mark Bitman since day 1, but lugging his huge cookbook around can be tedious, to say the least! This app is a perfect solution; easy to use interface, including special features like kitchen timers(!), as well as Bitman's phenomenal recipe/tip collection... all at the tip of your fingers! This has already become an iPhone staple, and for a great price!

Great reference tool; farmers market/grocery store helper...

Giovannaz

Version: 1.0

Whether I'm at the grocery store or farmers market, having the 'How to Cook Everything' app is quite handy. I can easily search for recipes using a particular ingredient. When I find myself wandering grocery store aisles, wondering what to make for dinner, browsing 'Bittman's Picks' helps. It includes recipe inspirations, from '22 Whole-Meal Soups' to '11 Meat Dishes to Serve on Greens'. When planning ahead, each recipe's built-in shopping list neatly organizes whatever I need by store section, streamlining grocery shopping (always appreciated!). The app is also useful at home. For browsing, I will use the book still in most instances. But the app is a great complement. It shows one step at a time, and includes timers--and not just one. If you're supposed to turn something every 10 minutes, cooking it 30 minutes in all, there is a timer for tracking the turning as well as one for the 30 minute complete cooking. Love it.

Everything we need

Version: 1.0

We pretty much live by How to Cook Everything. It's our everyday cookbook as well as our first stop for reference on ingredients and cooking techniques. It's so great to be able to take it all to the grocery store in this tidy little app. It's easy to use, has lots of helpful tips, and the search is awesome—so much better than looking in the index of the book. We hope to see our other fave in the future, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian!

Best cooking app ever!

Zener

Version: 1.0.2

Newest update fixed search function. Thanks for the quick response! .... The best cooking app I've seen! (I have about 7 cooking apps on my iPod.) I had never heard of Mark Bittman before, buy now I'm a huge fan :) Worth the 2 bucks for the salad dressing recipes alone! I will definitely buy the vegetarian one when it comes out. One suggestion...like others have mentioned it would be very useful to be able to email whole recipe to myself. I'd like to print out and follow so I don't get a mess of food on my iPod.

There's no way to print

sparnaay

Version: 1.1.2

Mark Bittman is great, but I don't use this app because there's no way to print the recipes or ingredient lists. Do you really want to touch your iPhone or iPad while you've got raw chicken on your hands? Isn't it a bad idea to put an expensive piece of electronic equipment on your kitchen counter where it would be really easy to get it wet? Every other cookbook app I have lets you print recipes. Don't buy this until they add printing.

Easiest 5-star rating I've ever given

Hi Everybody!!

Version: 1.0

This is incredible. I've always been a bit bothered by the other recipe apps for one reason or another but never could figure out quite how I'd fix them. This app does it. It's a joy to use, everything I need is available right there, and the cross-referencing is almost unbelievable, how it has some Spidey-sense about what I'm going to search for next and instead just puts a link for me to tap. I'm deeply impressed with everything about this app.

Worth the price of an iPhone!

craigjordan

Version: 1.0

Authoritative, straightforward, and concise, "How to Cook Everything: Revised" by far my favorite and most tattered cookbook. Its iPhone implementation extends its utility by allowing searches for ingredients, instantly building shopping lists, allowing searches to be limited to vegetarian or quick recipes, and having timers built into recipes. The best part is that it's stored in your phone, so you don't have to worry about being connected to a network. I went into a supermarket today with no idea what to buy, and I used it to figure out if a papaya was ripe, obtain a recipe for asparagus, and keep a list of the non-produce items I needed to build a salad. It was refreshing to get all this information in seconds, and not have to sift through dozens of redundant recipes on culinary websites.

Love it

spagirljen

Version: 1.1.2

I love the book version of this as well and it's so handy to have it with me on the go. I find myself using it to look up recipes if I'm at the store and feeling inspired by something so that I can be sure to get what I need to make a great meal. The timers are a handy feature too. Many nights instead of having to hold open the huge book I can just pull up what I'm making on the phone and get to work. Everything I have tried has been great. The directions are simple and the Bittman's picks feature is fun and handy.

Bugs

Skhilled

Version: 1.0.2

Just got the update today for the iPod Touch, 5.13.2010. On the page "12 Sauces For Fried Chicken" the links for "ketchup" and "basic barbeque sauce" have curly brackets around them { } while everything else does not. It looks like this: 11. {Ketchup 12. {Basic Barbeque Sauce}{Barbeque sauce} This is a great app though and I love it. Just wanted to point that out. If I find any more I'll add them. :)

Not Just an App, but an Achievement

unclehaircut

Version: 1.1.1

This is _exactly_ the kind of app that I'd envisioned when I dreamed about the potential that the iPhone afforded to usher static books along the path to their natural, digital evolution. Simply written, instructive and beautifully designed, this isn't simply a port of an existing cookbook, it's a multimedia experience reimagined by folks who fundamentally understand the benefits of the platform. I'm in it and digging around even when I'm not in the kitchen. I couldn't possibly recommend it more. It's an absolute steal.

jshrestha

Version: 1.2

This app is great, but there is a little problem in it. you cannot e-mail the food preparetion steps for the print or sare with the friends. usually when food preparing process, hands and kitchen gets a little messy. in that case it is weird to carry the iphone and reading the directions. So the app is already a must have program, if you consider to add e-mailing option, In the next update, it would be a great great and great and let the people judge by themself. thank you

Fabulous

Adelita Uno

Version: 1.5.2

I was already familiar with the reliable recipes in this book when I bought the Kindle version. Turns out it is almost impossible to use. When I found the app I figured what the heck. I was already out several dollars and figured 5 more wouldn't matter. Well, best $5 I've ever spent for the kitchen. Searching recipes is SO easy and then easy to page back and forth. Because I use my bare hands so much when cooking I put my phone on the counter, cover with a piece if clear wrap and cook away! Obviously a great deal of practical usage thought went into this app. Thank you so very much!

this app is cookin'

anibee

Version: 1.0.1

The new version of Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything app is even better than before. A more polished, but still effortlessly accessible interface, and the further established favorites list make this app more of a dream than ever before. It's a great deal too, for 1/7th of the price of Bittman's original book... and minus all the baggage of 2,000 pages and a hardback cover, QUITE the steal. I've used this app at least once a day since it came out, and I'd recommend it to anyone--from established chef, to high school student. A great way to get ideas, plan meals, and grab groceries, all on my iPhone.

Worthless

Herickson

Version: 1.6.1

So I paid $5 for this app and it was a waste of money because the developers wouldn't support an email option (I'm not gonna cook in the kitchen off my phone). Now they update with an email option so I can print a recipe HOWEVER YOU CAN ONLY EMAIL 3 TIMES IN A MONTH!!! Really you want people to pay for this and make it as limiting as possible to use? Plenty of worthwhile cooking apps out there, many of them free, where the developers don't try to shackle how you use the app. I'm tired of these crappy antics and think people should know about this before paying for something they can't really use!
