Martha Stewart on my iPad

Well, after Martha’s Everyday app for my iPhone, I just bought Martha Stewart Make Cookies for my iPad.

I have to say that when I think Cookies, Martha’s name is the first reference that come to mind.

Every year, I bake cookies for Christmas and all my recipes come from Martha. She is my “Cookie Guru”!

I love the app, because it is really easy to decide which one to bake. You see life size pictures of all the cookies and you just swipe your screen to pick the one you would like to make. you tap once on your choice with your finger to see the recipe come up with the list of ingredients. You can also add the ingredients to the shopping list to facilitate your trip to the grocery store. Once you are ready to make a trip to the store, you can email yourself the list to consult on your iPhone or print it to have it handy. There is also a button to put the recipe in your favorites and even a notepad if you want to jolt down some personal notes. As per Martha’s other cookbooks, you know how much active time is needed to make the recipe plus the total time including baking. I am definitely going to make the Matcha Tea Biscuits, the Smoky  Bacon-ginger cookies and the Peppercorn Shortbreads. I think that even my friend Charlotte from “My vie en rose bonbon” will be happy to know that there is a recipe that is gluten-free: The Flourless Peanut-Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Other interesting features, are videos on how to make some of the recipes, an innovative way to search for recipes and a timer to calculate how much time to leave your cookies in the oven. It rings when time is up! For only $7,99 it is a sweet deal!

What is your favourite recipe from this app?
