iCookbook
Mouth-watering photography
The recipe app by Bewise is the best we’ve
yet seen for the Modern-UI style. Along with over 200,000 recipes, we’re also
impressed by its food photography. In fact, we’re a bit too impressed with it,
as it keeps making us rather hungry. Time has been taken to make sure it’s
useful for following recipes and everything is presented in a nice large font.
