Stephanie Alexander App

For all of those who love Stephanie Alexander check out her new app available from the Apple App Store. I love Stephanie Alexander and was super excited to see that she had a cooking and recipe app!The app is based on her best selling cookbook The Cook's Companion. It has all the same recipes and tip bits as the book. It also has a tab with each recipe so that you can add your own notes.Now when I searched for the app I discovered that it was free! I thought wow this is way too good to be true! And it was. The app is free to download but when you go into the app everything is in sections. For example, pasta and noodles, basics and equipment, vegetables and herbs etc. The first section, pasta and noodles, is free to access and use. However, you have to individually pay to access each of the other sections. They range in price from 99c for the basics and equipment section, to $9.49 for the vegetables and herbs section. So to get all the sections it can add up pretty quickly.Having said that it is a really good app. I find the iphone has too small a screen to read recipes off but if you had an ipad it would work really well. However, if you are like me and think that you can remember your shopping list and then get to the supermarket and realise that the shopping list has slipped your mind, its very handy having the recipe on your phone to refer back to the ingredients list.
