Cooking Apps for September 29 2010

Make your family and yourself happy everyday with a tasty food!

Mario Batali Cooks! – 4.99$

I’m so excited to present my first ever app – the most advanced, robust, comprehensive cooking app ever built! I personally created 100% of the content in this app – 63 recipes from the many regions of Italy, spanning all seasons of the year, each with it’s own video and still images made exclusively for this app. Then I added 25 technique and kitchen basics videos along with my own, personal introduction. This app allows me to get as close as I’ve ever been to personally cooking with you in your kitchen. So grab some extra-virgin olive oil, and let’s cook some great food!!” – Mario Batali
