As Thanksgiving approaches, there is that thought of what other than Turkey are you going to prepare for the Thanksgiving meal? This is even more interesting to me as I am working on a cookbook of recipes from my grandmother, mother and aunts. This is something I have thought about for a while, but since they are all now deceased, I felt compelled to want to share these with the family. So stay tuned as I may share one with you all sometime soon. Now back to Thanksgiving apps that you ought to try. Here is a list of a few I found:
Thanksgiving Menu Maker (iPad)
Free app that shares over 75 recipes from Fine Cooking Magazine. This app will let you pick several recipes, will give you a shopping list of the ingredients needed. It has a schedule feature that will tell you when to start preparing for your turkey and any other recipes you decide to use. What is also nice is that it will even give you suggestions of what to make with the leftovers. So give this free app a look.
Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List (iphone & iPad)
Another free app that gives you access to all their recipes off of their epicurious.com website.
20 Minute Meals – Jamie Oliver (Android, iPhone & iPad)
One of my favorite chefs Jamie Oliver has an app that costs $6.99 from the App Store. Contains over 60 recipes with tips, hints and video and the ability to get a list of ingredients for each recipe.
iCookbook App (iPhone & iPad)
Voice controlled app with over 2000 recipes. So no need to get flour or other food on your device as you cook. You have a list of commands that can make cooking in the kitchen a lot easier. This app is $4.99 and new and free recipes come out each month.
And while you are waiting for that turkey to cook – you may want to try these games:
Thanksgiving Matching (Android)
Test your memory with Thanksgiving food items. App is free.
Whack a Turkey (iPhone & iPad)
Free app that is like whack a mole but will give you a chance to whack this turkey.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving!
