No Meat Here

This is a meat-free app; that's right, all the recipes you will find in this app are completely meat-free but definitely don't skimp on the flavor and presentation. In fact, if anything these recipes are loaded with flavor. Check out such recipes as spiced parsnip gratin with ginger cream, warm red lentil salad with goat cheese, wild mushroom omelet, and so much more. The key is that the recipes are as tasty as they are easy to make. You’ll be making restaurant-quality dishes in the comfort of your own home. In total there are 60 recipes to browse through and more than 500 high resolution images to accompany these recipes.

The best iPhone apps for vegetarians

While the app isn't free it's certainly priced very reasonably when you factor in how much you'd pay for a recipe book with that many photos. It's really no surprise that this app has a 4.5 star rating from customers.

A User-Friendly Kitchen Companion Tool

Think of this app as a kitchen companion tool as it can answer the question of "what should I make" quickly and easily for you. The recipes go further than just a listing of ingredients and directions; instead, it feels more like a one-on-one cooking demo thanks to the detailed instructions and photos all throughout the recipe. You won’t be left wondering what a step should look like because the instructions are always clear and you’ve got the visuals to help out.
