What's handy is that as long as you have your iPad you have your recipes - whether it's in the kitchen, the grocery store, the cottage, or at a friend's.

When it comes to finding the perfect recipe there are a few ways you can search/browse. Do so by ingredient, course, or keyword. There is also a section of popular recipes with some great suggestions.

You'll be able to scale recipes, share recipes by email/Twitter/Pinterest, convert to metric, and read reviews. As well there are suggested menus you can use for both regular meals and those special occasions.

As great as all these recipes are there is still a whole lot more this app can do. You can create your grocery list automatically based on your recipe/menu and it will even be sorted by aisle. For those ingredients you already have on-hand, just go ahead and take them off the list. You can add your own recipes or your friend's by typing them in or by using the RecipeScan to take pictures of the handwritten copy.

I personally loved this app. I constantly find myself searching for new and mouth-watering recipes and this app made it fast and easy. I also really liked that my recipes then became portable so no mater where I was, they were on-hand.
