Create Your Own Book

Here's your chance to create your very own cooking book just like famous chefs and authors have, except your book is filled with all your favorites and recipes you have created. The Chef Book app provides you with the ability to create the recipes, share them, and it supports iCloud if you're using it with iOS 7 and later. As noted you can opt to add the 100 recipes, all of which feature Indian dishes. Each of the recipes also comes with its own picture. When it comes to sharing your creations you can do so on Twitter, Facebook, and by email.

The app is free to use but does feature an in-app purchase for $0.99, which will give you the recipes. You'll need iOS 6.0 or later to use and it doesn't yet have a customer rating, or updates. There are some comments, however, and they are nothing but complimentary.

The User Experience

The Chef Book app is relatively easy to use and offers a few extra features to make the cooking and creating experience all the smoother. If you even need to search for anything while creating your app you can use the search tool that searched online. There are very little steps needed when making your recipes or browsing the app, it's meant to be quick and user-friendly. While you're making your recipe the app creates a flow chart and this is meant to help you follow the normal steps in creating a dish. There is a timer you can use for individual steps when needed.
