Serving your information

This app only seeks to get your personal info to sell. They provide very little actual recipes etc.


Missing critical information
ChicagoKAB

Trying to follow a recipe with ingredients like 1 olive oil or red curry paste doesn't really help. See Easy Thai Prawn Curry for example. Using iPad version


Best app bar none
Syno86

This is the best cooking app I have downloaded. The recipes are amazing and the app looks awesome on my ipad. Options to convert measurements and built in timers. What more can you ask for? Download this app!!


Doesn't work anymore
Nazneen4

After the last update, none of the cookbooks are opening. Th app just forces close. Frustrating! Please fix


Disappointing
Britoutofwater

UPDATED: Recipe books are suddenly deleted and replaced with paid for versions that you have to download and then won't even open in the new update. Even more disappointing. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This app looks beautiful and has some nice features, like the ability to add ingredients for multiple recipes to a shopping list. However, the number of recipes is extremely limited and you seem to have to download "cookbooks" in order to expand the selection. It would be nice if this connected the great app features with the existing website, which has many, many recipes without having to select cookbooks.


What's wrong?
Zaxoma

It won't download...please fix!


Crash
knarkbua

Installed the app on iPad mini then run the app but crash.


Stick to the web!
Eatanorange

Sorry guys, but the app looked promising! Stick to the website for the great recipes, here they want to empty your pocket before you can even start cooking! Taking the app off, so not worth it


Trash
Matacob

Stop fooling people. It's not a free app, it's just a shell for buying cookbooks. Totally useless.


Defective App
Pendleview

There is something wrong with the app. I am using it on my iPad and I can't access the recipes. Whatever recipe I click on it brings me to the one pan breakfast recipe! I tried deleting and re-downloading the app but then I lost the cookbooks I bought and the only recipe that would come up is still the one pan breakfast :(
