Are apps making cookbooks obsolete?
An interesting article from the New York Times. Thinking about how we make and share food, and how after reading this, I have to agree... I will probably buy an occasional cookbook that has beautiful images... but for the most part I have been more 2.0 with my cookbooks for a while. I like to collect and share recipes digitally, (and in analog form too! Thank you church ladies who write our recipes!) and print out the really good ones to save if I need to. I use allrecipes.com a lot.
This article talks about how the newest cooking apps contain information embedded within a recipe- for those that need extra help with particular things... and the ability to flow over the places of following the recipe that a seasoned cook might not need the detail for....
Sweet.
I am drooling for an ipad all over again now....http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/11/09/dining/20111109-RECIPE.html?ref=dining#11
Come to my kitchen and play. I have downloaded love the all recipes app, but didn't purchase the baking with Dorie. Mostly because I can't eat most of the recipes. :( I did find a great Thanksgiving Meal app that looks great. Helps time the meal & has a list maker will be perfect thins year,mas I am hosting my moms side of the family. Ahhh, so many fun apps to try...
