A Visual Approach to Baking

How many times have you been following a recipe only to get to a step that leaves you utterly confused? The Photo Cookbook takes you through each of its 60 recipes with helpful visuals so you aren't left staring at a mess in your kitchen. There are more than 500 HD photos in the app which means each recipe has a whole lot of photos in it. To top it off, none of the recipes are complicated, which means any level of baker can use the app with ease.

The app's last update made it compatible with iOS 7 and it currently enjoys a very high 4.5 out of five stars customer rating. Clearly users love what this one is offering and the way in which the material is presented. It feels like a much more complete offering than a typical recipe app.

Easy Access to Recipes

For ease of use The Photo Cookbook has divided the recipes into four different chapters. These are Pastries, Cake and Traybakes, Breads, and Small Cakes and Cookies. Each of these sections has 15 recipes and they cover a wide range of types so that you'll find the perfect dish for all occasions. The recipes are presented in a step-by-step format with a photo to follow each step. You can make your own list of favorites as you go through them and find some are especially big hits.
