The app is free to download and then you can purchase a variety of recipes as in-app purchases for $0.99 or the All Recipes Bundle for $2.99. It hasn't been updated in close to a year now, with its last update offering a couple new recipes. The app only has three out of five stars from users, it seems as though many are turned-off by the fact you need to pay for each recipe.

When it comes to the cooking/baking experience you will find the app makes it very easy to follow along. There are over 100 HD videos offered that take you through over 20 of Dorie's most beloved recipes. This app really blends a cooking class experience with that of a high-quality cookbook.
