Do you prefer the traditional cookbook or iPad in the kitchen?

Thank you for posting all of these app ideas, Steph! I definitely prefer the iPad to a traditional cookbook; old cookbooks are lifeless and stale when compared to a good interactive cooking app, or even a good cooking show. I haven’t tried any of these apps, but that How To Cook Everything app caught my eye, and I will be checking it out tonight after I get off of work at DISH. I would like to recommend an app that has become really helpful in the kitchen, even though it’s not specifically designed for it. I have been using the DISH Remote Access app to bring my favorite cooking shows into the kitchen with me, so that I can try to cook along with my favorite chefs. While I could watch the shows live if I like, I prefer to record them to my Hopper DVR so that I can go buy the ingredients needed for the recipe.
Am definitely going to have to check out that Substitutions app – thanks for the hot tip! I use both but still love the good old cookbook, I always have one open on the bench and am constantly scribbling down recipes as I make them up and sticking them in my recipe scrapbook xx
GREAT recommendations! I love using my ipad in the kitchen – although, have to remember not to touch it if i’ve got buttery mitts. The Nigella app is just amazing isn’t it?!
