After the App!

I mentioned previously that I was trying out an ipad app - Big Fork, Little Fork. Well, I have had it on my iPad for some time now and I have to say - it's motivating me to try my hand more in the kitchen. I broke out today and made the Surprise Cupcake recipe - absolutely amazing!! And what I loved about it the most?? I watched the video FIRST, I knew I couldn't go wrong! It was clear and easy to follow and the layout is wonderful. While I was cooking - I could easily flip from the ingredients screen to the directions screen. My girls helped me (it was in the kid-friendly section) and they loved helping - it was really right on their level.

It really is a great app - you can build a shopping list, watch videos of people making the recipes, download more recipes as they come available - really there is so much to take in - I am sure I haven't touched the tip of the iceberg! Don't miss this app - it really is a good one! Thank yo

u Kraft and Marc Samuelsson!!

Big Fork Little Fork

As a mom who needs all the help she can get in the kitchen, I am excited about this opportunity!!

I am testing out Kraft's Big Fork, Little Fork app for iPad. This is a great app - for starters, it has:

• 50 exclusive recipes spanning breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack-time, focused on families interacting in the kitchen; such as Yummy Roast Chicken, Sweet Potato Mash and Banana-OREO Lassi
• Tips and tricks giving parents and kids cooking ideas
• 10 how-to videos demonstrating cooking tactics with kids and offering step-by-step, professional instruction

And an exclusive recipe collection by Marcus Samuelsson.

I just see SO many great uses for this app. Just a few would be:

• Parents and kids cooking together
• Parents looking to expand their children’s (or even spouse’s) palates
• Cooking inspiration during the holiday season
• College kids learning how to cook on their own for the first time
• Home-schooling parents looking to infuse food education into their curriculum

I downloaded the app itself, which is free, but the exclusive content of new recipes really intrigues me! As soon as I have played with the app more, I will be posting another review to let you know what I think! And Becky, in the kitchen, should be INTERESTING!!! :)

Here is a link so you can find the app too! Big Fork Little Fork is free until Dec. 31, 2010 and you can buy the new and exclusive recipe collection for just $4.99 right now on iTunes as well.
