When you fire up the app post installation, you will be presented with its main screen wherein you will be shown all the recipe tiles sorted according to category. You can see this interface in the above screenshot.

To open a recipe, all you’ve got to do is to click on the tile of a recipe. When you do so, you will be presented with the detailed recipe screen where you can see all the fine details like the ingredients required, the method of preparation etc. The one thing that the app lacks is pictures of the finished recipe, and hence it may become difficult for you to understand how the final recipe turns out.

Conclusion:

The app’s large collection of recipes makes it pretty good for parties, etc. The app scores points for its minimalist design, but loses for not having pictures accompanying the recipes.

So overall, I’ll rate this app a 3.5 out of 5!
