Daily iPad App: The Professional Chef

by Kelly Hodgkins (Oct 27th, 2011)

I'm not a professional chef, but I love to cook and serve up 30 plates of food each day. Like many amateur cooks, I struggle with recalling the differences between sauteing and braising and what makes a roux, a roux. That is why I was so excited to see The Professional Chef land on the iPad. ...

Daily Mac App: Paprika Recipe Manager

by Chris Rawson (Aug 16th, 2011)

I've been using Paprika Recipe Manager from Hindsight Labs on my iPad for a couple of months, and I've found it's turned my iPad into an invaluable kitchen tool. The only drawback to the app has been that the iPad's touchscreen keyboard made entering recipes by hand somewhat cumbersome. That ...

Spruce up your cooking with the Original Kitchen iPad Rack

by Michael Rose (Feb 7th, 2011)

If you've ever used your iPad in the kitchen, you know that the magical and revolutionary device doesn't always match up to the greasy, sticky, steamy reality of the cooking zone. We've proposed a few low-tech solutions to this challenge before, but when we heard about the Original Kitchen iPad ...

iGrill wireless thermometer combines meat, heat, iPhone

by Michael Rose (Dec 23rd, 2010)

No two ways about it: the day before Christmas Eve is a sleepy, office mostly empty, finish your online shopping, take a long lunch kind of day. It would take a very special press release to break through the pre-holiday, here-comes-CES fog that's hovering over the TUAW home offices this week. I'm ...

Holiday cooking with your iPad: be safer while you sauteé

by Erica Sadun (Dec 16th, 2010)

Flour belongs in cookies, not on your iPad. The same goes for butter, wine, eggs and oil. Your kitchen may be a treasure trove of cooking essentials, but iPads and food should never directly mix. That's why this cooking with your iDevice radio story over at NPR gave us a moment's pause at TUAW ...

TUAW's Daily App: Chow Thanksgiving Dinner Coach

by Mike Schramm (Nov 24th, 2010)

It's the day before Thanksgiving, and you've agreed to have the family over for dinner tomorrow, complete with a turkey and fixings and everything. But you just realized that you don't actually have any idea how to cook a turkey (and it probably won't fit in the microwave). Not to worry. CBS ...

KitchenPad Timer helps with your Thanksgiving meal

by David Winograd (Nov 22nd, 2010)

This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving, one of my favorite American holidays. Although it's representative of the Pilgrims' first harvest festival with the Native American Indians, it's really about one of my favorite things -- eating. But before we can eat, many of us have to cook, and we have to ...

Dishy lands in the App Store and your kitchen

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 2nd, 2009)

I wrote up a sneak peek of Dishy [iTunes Link] earlier in the summer when I saw a preview at WWDC. It was called Bon App at the time, and man it looked tasty. Well the app is now out and it rocks. I've been testing a demo for a little while and I wish more cooking apps worked like this. Dishy ...

5 (really useful) Apps for everyone

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Aug 5th, 2009)

The iPhone app I saw at WWDC but still can't show you: Bon App

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 19th, 2009)

I guess you could say I'm an armchair foodie. Strangely enough, once I started working at home I rarely got the chance to cook a proper meal. It doesn't help that my kids have typical kid palates, and attempts to "get fancy" with the ingredients are met with wrinkled noses and frowning faces. So ...
