Quick Review: Epicurious for iPad
Epicurious [Free - iTunes Link] from CondeNet is one of the best cooking apps you can get on the iPad. It has almost everything you could ask for including over 28,000 recipes, with the number growing daily.
The interface is beautiful with the recipes neatly organized depending on main ingredient, health restrictions, nationality, what's new, and more. The cookbook section of Epicurious is even easier to navigate on the larger iPad screen. You can have the recipe instructions displayed on the side while looking at the ingredients, photos, user reviews, and nutritional information. There is even a little bookmark so you can keep your place as you look at other sections.
Finding what you want in Epicurious is also a breeze. It has a search tool which allows you to find your next meal by keyword. On the sidebar you can simply click or un-click ingredients to filter the results further and match any dietary restrictions or keep the choices narrowed to just the ingredients you have in the house.
Epicurious also has a wonderful shopping list button and if you want to share your latest recipe with your friends you can email it.

Epicurious is excellent on the iPhone. I don't have an iPad but checked one out the other day at Best Buy. This app was on one of the demo units. This is even better and with a stand allows you to read the recipe while you're cooking without having to wash your hands to scroll like you do on the iPhone. The day I get my iPad I'll also will download this app! Georgia, nice job.
grt :)
What would make this a killer app for me is the ability to share the recipe list across the devices. I want to be able to look at something on the computer or iPad, pick it out and have the list sent to my iPhone. I am not taking my iPad into the grocery store to use as a list.
Unless I missed it, this wasn't possible.
I only wish that I could sync my Shopping list from the ipad version to the iPhone version without having to search all over again for the recipe.
I can't figure out a way to add my own items to the shopping list on the ipad app. Isn't very useful unless I can put in "coffee", etc.
I used to be suggested this web site by means of my cousin. I'm not sure whether this submit is written by means of him as no one else realize such detailed approximately my trouble. You are wonderful! Thank you!
