If you use the iPad app, it has built in keyboard shortcuts for ingredients, including measurements (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, etc.), and units of measurement (tbsp, tsp, cup, etc.), and even a symbol for degrees (°). That means if I have my phone with me and someone asks for a recipe, I can just send it straight to them, right then and there! You can easily export any recipe, either via email or printing. ![]() Perhaps one of my favorite parts about having all of your recipes organized digitally is that they're so easy to share. I like the fact that they've included the option to enter "Source." It allows me to easily access the online recipes again or double-check my sources, if needed. When creating a recipe card, you are prompted to enter in the Prep Time, Cook Time, Difficulty, Source of the Recipe, Servings, Ingredients, and Directions.

You can add your own photo, or if you import a recipe from the web it will automatically include the associated photograph. Once in the recipe view, simply click to view an individual recipe. On the far left, above, you can see four main views to select: "Recipes" (pictured above), "Browser", "Groceries" and "Meals." You can also rate the photo with 1-5 stars, and easily add it to your "favorites" list as well. You can create whatever categories you like (such as "Dinner", "Snacks", "Appetizers", "Cupcakes" etc.), and apply as many categories as you want to each recipe, for easy cross-referencing. On the lefthand side of the screen, though, you can see that you can also organize recipes by category. Since I usually know exactly what recipe I'm looking for, I use this feature the most frequently. Notice at the top you can search recipes by name. ![]() Here you can see the opening screen, which takes you to your "Recipes" screen.

In searching for recipe management apps last year, I stumbled upon Paprika. ![]() If you're looking for a fantastic app that allows you to easily access and display your recipes, I've got a great suggestion for you: it's called Paprika.

It requires no counter space whatsoever, because it's a wall mount (the Wallee wall mount, to be exact). He thoughtfully came up with an elegant solution for using the iPad in the kitchen. The issue of counter space was resolved by my boyfriend last year. I had an even harder time imagining an effective program that would allow me to quickly and easily enter and access all of the information that I needed. My kitchen was overly crowded as it was, and I worried about the device taking up valuable counter space. It was often hard to track down things I'd made, and I'd find myself needlessly searching through many different sources just to find a recipe I'd used a few months or even weeks ago.Įnter the iPad.! When I received an iPad for Christmas in 2010, I never could have imagined it would have a place in my kitchen. After I amassed many cookbooks, bookmarked dozens of recipes, and started a Word document with some of my favorites, things quickly became jumbled in my head. With so many ways to access recipes these days (online, in ebooks, magazines, or regular old recipe books), keeping everything organized can be a bit overwhelming.įor many years I've been searching online for recipes, or using recipes from my cookbooks, as well as those from friends and family.
