Worth A Cook: Making And Ordering Food With Apple Devices
Techlife News|Techlife News #374

Many of our readers likely fondly remember when, in early 2016, Apple debuted an iPhone 6s screen commercial in which that Sesame Street favorite, Cookie Monster, used the device in his attempt to bake a batch of succulent cookies.

Worth A Cook: Making And Ordering Food With Apple Devices

Particularly highlighted was the ability to activate Siri in a hands-free manner simply by uttering “Hey Siri”, with Cookie Monster using this feature to set a timer. Still, this is hardly even a hint of the true extent to which Apple devices can help us in our culinary efforts.

YUM’S THE WORD WITH THESE RECIPE APPS

Much of the valuable functionality of an iPhone for chefs - novice and veteran alike - is, of course, in its apps. The mobile app revolution certainly hasn’t left the kitchen untouched; download the right apps and you could be delighted to see how easily your iPhone can replace that musty-looking print cookbook you probably routinely pull offthe shelf whenever you want to make something special. Apps can not only provide a huge selection of recipes but also help you choose between them.

An especially good case in point is Oh She Glows. This app provides over 95 recipes for people who favor plant-based cuisine. In fact, the meal options here can be as good for your health as they are on your eyes; gazpacho, cheesy lentil bolognese casserole and butternut squash “mac ‘n cheeze” are just some of the options. If you are still inexperienced with cooking, you can narrow them down with the “Quick + Easy” search filter; meanwhile, the “Kid Friendly” filter could be very useful for families.
