The best way to track the recipes in your current library!
I have to admit, this application was developed for me. I really like to cook, but it is extremely difficult for me to track the recipes from the enormous amount of books that I have. My family was complaining that we were eating the same things over and over again, and sometimes during complaining would say "Hey, remember that chicken dish you cooked for us a few months ago, that was really good, could you make it again?" My first thought would be "Are you kidding me?" how was I supposed to know where that recipe was?
So when we decided to start programming our own applications for the iPhone (yes, we develop many applications for organizations use, but this was the first we placed on the Apple App's Store) I begged for this to be the first one! I may be a bit biased since I had a lot to do with this one, but I love this application. I can't believe how easy it is for me now that I can track the recipes in my cookbooks. We have not had to eat the same dinner now for weeks and that makes everyone in my household very happy.
Future Update Plans
For the next update, we are looking at adding a feature to take a picture of the cookbook (for those of you that need a visual reference like I do, especially when trying to figure out which magazine you are looking for!), and also the ability to take a picture of the recipe. While I am not truly a fan of this one, some of you have asked for it, and now you will get it. The good thing is that it is an option, so use it only if you want to.
We would really like to hear from anyone using the application, the good or the bad, because let's face it, we can't do anything about things that we do not know about. Please do not be shy!
