This app is just ok. The recipes seem uninspired. I think Bittman tries to keep them simple so they are easy but nothing in this is fabulous. Disappointing.

This app woks great on its own or in conjunction with the marvelous book of the same title. I have found that my family really enjoys many of these recipes without ever thinking twice about it being healthy or vegetarian. I highly recommend this app.
Nicely designed app. But it is frustrating that there is no nutritional information. Many of the recipes seem to be high in fat and calories but it is hard to tell.
This app is the best cooking app I have used. It is very easy to navigate. I find myself browsing more often than I do with other apps. I enjoy Mark Bittmans articles in the New York Times and the narratives that accompanies the recipes in this app are just as enjoyable to read.
I bought this app not sure whether Id actually use it much or not since I dont use a lot of recipes generally when I cook. But I love Mr. Bittman and read him frequently in the Times. And I love this app too! Very user-friendly, well-organized and an easy way to incorporate more vegetarian cooking into your menu choices. Very pleased! The recipes Ive tried so far have been delicious.
This is where I start for great veg ideas.
What a great app with such a wide variety of vegetarian dishes. Great pictures, easy to follow instructions and easy shopping cart lists makes it easy.
I love how it makes it so easy---and that I can have the ingredient list for any recipe with me all the time!
I hate paying for cooking apps when I can only use a fraction of the recipes because Im a vegetarian. There is none of that worry with this app. A variety of basic and inventive vegetarian recipes with clear instructions and helpful how-to notes (how to prepare leafy green vegetables; how to beat eggs). The recipes Ive tried have been fantastic. This is such a great app: great recipes, great features (like no-dim and built-in timers and shopping list builders). Totally worth the money.
This app is full of good ideas, and a pleasure to use. Thank you, Mark Bittman!
I use this or its sister app, How to Cook Everything, almost daily, and have for years. Nothing else comes close. The app is beautifully designed and easy to use and the recipes are all excellent.
Anyone wanting to cook vegetarian could consider this book their primer and feel well-informed. I keep this book handy in my kitchen. While the physical book is a must-have, this app is the perfect companion. It makes the text a living document, and the app also offers functionality that makes it both a useful tool while planning your shopping and preparing meals. I also enjoy the recipe spotlights on Mondays.
I love Mark Bittmans NYTimes recipe columns and always wanted to buy his How to Cook Everything Book. Im so glad I procrastinated until it came out in app form. The recipes have his wonderful conversational tone, and I love the tips, the variations, and the built-in timer. Cooking is one of my favorite uses of my iPad and using this app is one of my favorite ways to cook.
This cookbook is great, especially for anyone just switching over to being a vegetarian. The only problem Ive had is some of the ratios seem wonky and information can get cryptic. I wish commenting on recipes was an option.
I like some of the recipes in this app but for an app this expensive, I really anticipated at least occasional updates. Cant we get some new menus or recipes from time to time?
