Cooking Can Be Simple

There is no reason that cooking has to be anything other than enjoyable. When you are well-organized and working from a recipe that provides you with the correct measurements then you are bound to create some magic in the kitchen. This app is really a multitasker in a sense that it keeps you organized plus helps you ensure your measurements are always correct. Perhaps you want to make a batch of your favorite cookies but just want to do a half batch. Rather than try to quickly figure out how to scale the measurements and possibly make mistakes in the process, the app can do it for you. Without the proper measurements you are bound to have a mess on your hands.
