Almost without realizing it, our mobile devices have carved a niche in our day to day and, more often turn to them when carrying out our daily tasks. Usually we put the focus on productivity and, in this sense, we have seen how to transform our smartphone into a mobile office, but our tablets and smartphones can help in many other tasks as organizing a trip, organizing a party and, of course, learn to cook and become experts in the world of fine dining .

Applications Android to learn to cook

few months ago, we made a nod to the world of gastronomy a selection of culinary applications , both iOS and Android, applications helped us locate recipes, good wines and, of course, give us ideas to mount a home menu and surprise our guests.

Following the same path, this time we put the focus on Android and we will explore some applications, in my opinion, worth trying if want to improve your culinary skills and want to learn new recipes or directly want to learn to cook:

    • Cooking Channel is in my opinion one of the best applications on recipes that can be found (and is one of my favorites). This application is the gateway to the cookbook that provides, through its website, a television channel in Spain that is focused exclusively on the world of cooking and the application will have access to recipes for programs broadcast , configuration menus or videos with step by step recipes. A good application to always have ideas for cooking at home or amaze our guests.

    • Wine Vintages is a very interesting application to enter the world of wine. The application is a guide with a catalog of 4,500 sheets covering wine vintages from 1912-2012 of around 130 regions of Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, United States, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. With this application we can explore the tabs labeled wines or wines compare to each other face to make always the best choice.

    • Nestlé Kitchen is a commercial application of food group Nestle, albeit an application for advertising, offers recipes and ideas for cooking at home. The purpose of this application is to offer ideas for cooking and for this, offers about a thousand prescriptions (20% with explanatory video) that combine to form menus. You can find the recipes for preparation time, nutritional value or, for example, special holidays (Christmas menu) and, if we do not have any idea in mind, we can let be surprised by a recipe at random.

    All My Recipes - Android Apps to enjoy the food and learn to cook

    • All My Recipes is also another good option to consider if we recipes online for our smartphone or our tablet . This Android app gives us access to the knowledge base of over 35,000 recipes that are in the same web site and we can locate recetas.org recipes by ingredients or by dish type (appetizers, main course, dessert, etc.) in addition to country origin of the recipe or the difficulty parameters, the cost of the dish or preparation time. The application includes some social features with which we share recipes via Twitter or Facebook and, since my web web-site is a collaborative recetas.org constantly growing, the recipe of this application is always updated and expanding.

    • ELLE Gourmet is an application linked to ELLE magazine that, although you have not updated in Google Play, offers interesting content. The application offers about 6,000 recipes from desserts, appetizers and main dishes with a menu to configure which amaze our guests and the material is arranged by theme ( brunch , Asian cuisine, celebrations, snacks, etc.) also included a search engine.

    • Kitchen Timer is not, in the strict sense, an application of recipes, but I think is a very interesting application if you have love for cooking and let yourself be accompanied by your tablet or your smartphone . Through this simple application, our mobile device Android will become a kitchen timer that will tell us when to turn off the oven and remove the pot from the heat and avoid, therefore, that we burn the food.

    • LG Kitchen is an interesting application developed by the manufacturer LG in its subject line applications “Lifestyle”. With this application we indicate which foods have in our fridge so that the application will suggest recipes with which we prepare and, thus, out of the rut with a menu more pleasant and different. The application includes phrases, therefore, we can hear the steps of the recipe without having to be reading on the screen of your smartphone or our tablet .

    • Consumer Eroski Recipes is an Android application linked to a publication of Spain on consumption. This application opens the door to a thousand recipes, will allow us to design menus and also all information is completed dietary and nutritional data (so that in addition to eating well, eat healthy). Recipes include photos and videos also included a search engine that will allow us to find recipes based on the ingredients, difficulty of preparation or time to prepare the recipe.

    • What I cook today? is a multiplatform application (even available for BlackBerry) that offers a collection of about 3,000 recipes that are available, even mode offline . The application, in my opinion, is interesting because it includes a way to “read aloud” recipes, ie recipes are read by the application and we have to follow what we hear to that, in this way, we focus on the preparation of the dishes and not have to be reading our tablet or our smartphone . It includes a search by ingredient, groups of ingredients (meats, fish, desserts, etc.) and, as in other applications include recipe suggestions.
