How to Cook Everything

Description

This bestselling, first-of-its-kind app of New York Times columnist Mark Bittman’s bestselling cookbook includes 2,000 recipes and 400 how-to illustrations — plus specially designed features for the mobile user.

A newly added feature converts temperatures and quantities to metric for those who prefer metric measurements.

Here’s some of what’s on tap:

• From this award-winning book: Mark Bittman’s 2,000 recipes and recipe variations— as well as his no-nonsense cooking guidance, including hundreds of how-to illustrations; equipment, technique, and ingredient information; and meal-planning ideas

• Easy-to-use and flexible search capabilities, as well as the ability to browse recipes and reference information

• Handy built-in timers, placed throughout the recipe steps

• Well-organized shopping lists that make it easy to buy ingredients — and whatever other groceries you need at home

• Convenient printing of recipes and shopping lists from devices running iOS 4.2

• Cooking inspiration: Bittman’s Picks, Featured Recipe, Quick Dinners, and Favorites, which provide quick access to selected recipes

• All recipe and reference content is embedded in the app, which means that you can use the app even if you don’t have a network connection

• Full support for iOS 4 multitasking. iOS 4 users also gain the ability to swipe between recipe steps with a flick across the screen, the ability to add recipes to the calendar app, and step timers that run even when the app is not running.

• Stunning high resolution graphics optimized for the Retina display.

• Feed your friends: Integration with Facebook and Twitter allows you to share what you’re cooking with your social network!
