Serious app for a serious cook
I am a serious home cook. I explore food. Whether I am trying out new local restaurants or growing heirloom varieties of my favorite vegetables I am looking for a food experience that isnt just about getting food on the table as quick as possible.
When I roll up my sleeves to cook I want all of my recipes at hand. I want them easily accessible and off my valuable counter space. However I need my recipes in lots of places. When inputting new recipes or updating current ones with my notes I prefer doing that on my Mac. When I am in the kitchen I love having my iPad hanging from under a cabinet right at eye level and keeping my counter clear and when I am at the store I love having the recipes on my iPhone to check for an ingredient. To make this work I need an app that takes the design of all three spaces into mind and then seamlessly makes them all work together. MacGourmet does just that. I have been able to build my recipe library on a digital platform that allows me to tailor it to how I work with food and recipes.
Out of all the digital recipe boxes out there this one is designed very well for the serious cook. There are some flaws like the shopping list feature leave a lot for me to be desired and there are a few features I just simply never use but I got this as a way to digitally store my massive recipe library and have it easily accessible and searchable and this does that amazingly well.
The major win for this app is that it work both in iOS and OSX. The biggest opportunity to take it to the next level would be in making the shopping list feature easier to use and organize. My biggest hope is that now with the iPad Pro out that they make a new version that will be compatible and not just a stretched out version of the iPad version.
