The holiday season is just around the corner, and these apps can help make it one to remember.
Quick answer: Make your holiday season simple with recipe apps for your smartphone, like Allrecipes Dinner Spinner, Food Network In the Kitchen, and Cookpad. Plus, simplify shopping with Out of Milk.
No holiday is complete without a mouthwatering home-cooked meal. Whether you’re preparing for a hearty Thanksgiving dinner or planning a Christmas feast, the right smartphone apps can make it easier to thrill every guest at the table. Let’s explore four apps that can help make your holiday season unforgettable.
Food Network In the Kitchen
It comes as no surprise that the Food Network’s recipe app is a top competitor in the world of cooking apps. The app compiles thousands of recipes from renowned Food Network chefs, including everything from delicious entrees to cocktails and beyond. The app also lets you create your own collections of saved recipes, so you can separate dishes by holiday. Planning a trip to the grocery store? Save a recipe to your phone’s notes section, and you’ll know exactly what you’ll need. Find Food Network In The Kitchen on Google Play and the App Store.
Allrecipes Dinner Spinner
Allrecipes Dinner Spinner offers a variety of features you might not find on other cooking recipes apps. There’s a social element, which allows you to follow other cooks and view their profiles. But when it comes to holiday cooking, the primary perks lie within its search features – you can browse by ingredient, cook time, and even dietary need. That means whether you’re working with a limited selection of groceries or aiming to have your Thanksgiving dinner ready to serve by a certain time, this app will help you find a recipe that fits the situation. Find Allrecipes Dinner Spinner on Google Play and the App Store.
Out of Milk
Access to an unlimited selection of recipes is great, but a recipe only goes so far if you don’t have the right ingredients. Out of Milk makes gathering ingredients simple with three key functions: you can create a grocery list, make a to-do list, and inventory in your pantry. You can even share your lists via text or email, so you can keep on cooking while someone else makes a grocery run. Find Out of Milk on Google Play and the App Store.
Cookpad
Cookpad is the perfect place to find recipes that stray from the ordinary.
This popular app is another standout thanks to its social nature. A haven for home cooks, the app makes it simple to publish your own recipes publicly or in private, so it’s the perfect place to find recipes with unique twists that stray from the ordinary. The app also features seasonal recipes to help make your search for the ideal holiday dinner easier than ever. Find Cookpad on Google Play and the App Store.
