The cooks bible fully enabled
Out of my now beat-up copy of the book Ive fed my family for five years, cooking my way pretty much from cover to cover, and, wondrously, never disappointed. Im now giving the book a well-earned rest and using the app on my iPad. Although there are no recipes in the app that are not in the book, the app makes recipes available in a way no book could. "Chard", for example, has two recipes in the books index. The apps search produces eleven, a number that increases to seventeen when "variations" is pressed, and then doubled to thirty-four when "reference" is included to suggest to you such things as putting chard under poached eggs. A great virtue of the book -- its flexibility in ingredients -- is now fully enabled...as is its inspirations. You want to do something Italian with chard? Yes, with a press theres calzone and ravioli.
Ive bought the book for friends. Now Im gifting them the app.
A suggestion for Mr Bittman: gluten-free variations. Itd be invaluable for Celiacs and others who are gluten-intolerant. Were gluten-free and Ive been able to adapt most recipes to our needs. The variations would easily be added to the app and you could do it better than I, Mr Bittman.
With renewed gratitude to Mark Bittman,
