The Betty Crocker Cookbook

The Betty Crocker Cookbook

For: iPad

The application I am going to cover today is The Betty Crocker Cookbook.  I really like this app because it is a cookbook, but not an actually book where you would have to run through the pages looking for your recipe, plus you can easily find what you are looking for simply by ingredient and/or keyword.  This app makes cooking an easy task and fun too!  When you open the app, it shows the title page along with a search bar, a search by ingredient, and a "Surprise Me!" button at the top.  The "Surprise Me!" button is for if you are feeling spontanious, simply do not know what to make for a meal or are just browsing. Then, it quicky takes you too a random recipe and you go from there. 
At the bottom of the title page, there are buttons labeled "Search, Browse, and Favorites". The search button is the general search which I mentioned above, but the browsing option is probably my number one choice when it comes to looking for a recipe because it gives you the widest range possible of recipes from your wanted category.  It reads with picture icons the different categories of the food recipes.  Ones such as Appetizers, Desserts, Dressings, Frostings, Breads Sauces and Soups, plus much, much more.  They are all listed in alphabetical order too which makes it easy to navigate.    The favorite button is of course lists the recipes that  you want to keep and make later so you can easy find it with one tap of a finger. 
I think this app is great for anyone who doesnt want to dig for that old cookbook in kitchen drawer, but you might not want to use the ipad while cooking because it will get messy :( lol

Here are some pictures!
