A few reasons why I love Epicurious for the iPhone

I've recently discovered Epicurious.  It's an iPhone/iPad app that's also a website.  For foodies it has over 25,000 high class recipes.  And it works well on the web, but it works even better on the iPhone.  The iPhone/iPad app is free and all 25,000 recipes are then available to browse.  The app lets you pick your main ingredients so that you can narrow down recipes to cook with things you already have in your kitchen and it also allows you to add recipes to a virtual shopping list.  The reason why it's so great on the iPhone is because you can pull it out of your pocket in the kitchen and re-read the instructions and you can even use the virtual shopping list in the supermarket to tick off each item you put in your trolley in one go.  The recipes are all rated and reviewed by fellow Eipicuriites which means you can see how each recipe works (or doesn't) in real life situations.  For a free app it comes with some advertising, but it's not too invasive.

As this blog is often about technology and theology, where's the theological link?  Well in Genesis 1 it says God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.  And as that refers to food as well as the rest of creation I'm sure God is very pleased with Epicurious.
