Hello all you cooking enthusiasts!
I trialled another app out and want you to let me know what you think - what do you like to cook most?
This week I tried out the reasonably new Cook with M&S application, to get all you packet natives, into using that kitchen side and messing up the chopping boards.
I was pleasantly surprised that there was less emphasis on getting you to cook using their ingredients and it actually seemed nice and simple to use, with a clean looking user interface. I mean the food photography is gorgeous - check it out simply to sit a drool!
In terms of it's real purpose, there are a number of functions which I enjoyed, including the cooking mode for step-by-step instructions. Each recipe is broken down and really simply explained with pictures. There is also an integrated link to add the recipe ingredients to a master shopping list, which I can imagine would be extremely useful if you were meal planning for a period of days.
In
addition, there is a handy serving alteration button to add more or less
servings. This automatically affects the recipe to exclude any calculations. Perfect for upscaling your favourite dishes to double as dinner party winners. I especially loved this as I hate the hassle of upscaling and the calculations involved - why not get the app to do it for you!
Another feature is the recipe book, where I can store all my favourite recipes
by photographic thumbnail. Personally, I would prefer a more structured recipe
filing system on the app, but it does come across very clean and efficient. All
recipes are viewable initially via a picture thumbnail, name and include
timings for people under limited time restrictions for culinary creativity.
I did enjoy the app and felt rather inspired to get back in the kitchen and cook! Tell me your opinion or experience below...what are you looking for in a foodie cooking app?
Keep calm and get that apron on.
Love,
Jess xo
