More iPhone Apps for the Home Cook

2009_06_10-iphone.jpgAwhile back, we posted about iPhone apps for the home cook. Well, it's almost a year later, and the app market has grown by leaps and bounds, so we thought we'd round up some more fun and useful cooking apps.

It's a shame AT&T doesn't work in our neighborhood (or many other places in Chicago, shockingly). I'd be all over those apps in a second!

Of that list, I have only used allrecipes. Not my favorite app... I'd rather look online then "spin" for what I'll cook. I'd love to find an app that can be used to store personal recipes and is EASY to upload to from a personal computer. Sounds like a reasonable task to ask for, but haven't found one I like yet. Any suggestions?

I love the Seafood Watch app - perfect when shopping for fish!

Not exactly for cooking- but the Shopper app is great for the market. You can organzie your list by categories and check off each item as you go along. I rarely forget anything now!

I think the epicurious one is really great-- you can search easily AND save your favorites. Doesn't translate from the online site, though...but still!

I don't have an iphone (yet), but when I do, I'm getting the app for my favorite recipe organizer/meal planner/shopping list maker, macgourmet, so I can have all my recipes at the grocery store/farmers market/while camping, etc.

From what I've read, its a little tricky to set up the (wireless, I think) upload, but once you do, it seems golden.
