We’re near the end!
Today’s blog entry is about the online recipe catalog built into Cookbook. Manually typing (or cutting/pasting) recipes into the application can be tedious, so finding a way of streamlining the process is crucial.
Browsing and downloading from the integrated online community should be dead simple, but at the same time, it shouldn’t feel like a web browser. Much like the iTunes Store (or what was the iTunes Store), navigation and adding files to your library will be seamless. The user finds a recipe, previews it in the current window, and downloads the file with one click.
The next image wraps everything up and shows Cookbook’s four main selling points: meal scheduling, intelligent shopping features, assisted cooking, and recipe sharing. It presents kitchen-related activities as a workflow, rather than unrelated steps involving food, as other apps have done.
Finally, I want to congratulate the other finalists for making it to the final round of voting and wish them luck. It’s been a crazy ride!
