Thoughts for the Day

What’s on my iPad - Food and Wine apps

This is Part 3 - continuing with Food and Wine apps

Food/Wine/Dining

Food - Wine - Dining (favorites only)

• Urbanspoon/Yelp - I use both apps to find restaurant options.  I like the serendipity of Urban Spoon. You shake it and it finds a selection of restaurants based on your location. Kind-of a slot machine effect. Lots of fun, and have found some good eats. Yelp - love the reviews. I’ll often find a restaurant using Urbanspoon and then check it out more in Yelp.
• Corkz - Great wine app. We find almost all wines when we are out, use it to keep our meager cellar, and just enjoy rating and starring wines we’ve enjoyed and would like to buy again. Strong, knowledgeable community contributes to this app.
• How to Cook Everything - my go-to app when I’m at the Farmer’s Market or see a great sale. What could I do with that Broccolini, or Beef Tongue? Mark Bittman will tell you, you buy the ingredients, and I guarantee you’ll have a great dinner.
• AllRecipes - I use the Allrecipes.com site to find a great recipe. Then I save it and send my shopping list right to my iPhone, and the recipe to my iPad. I cook from the iPad and shop with the iPhone. Love the syncing.
