Chinese Food In Minutes ($3.99)
Version – 1.0
Review – “Learn to cook with your iPhone!”
Food is something that everyone loves, but few of us want to take
the time it takes to learn to make it. Whether you love cooking, eating or both Chinese Food In Minutes will have you making great food in no time!
Chinese Food In Minutes is based on a TV series of the same name and offers a variety of different recipes for great Chinese food! When you open
up the app for the first time you’ll be introduced to the chef in the app, Ching He Huang with a video the first time you open up the app.
After the brief intro video plays you’ll be taken to the main screen of the app. At the bottom of the screen is a menu for accessing the various areas of the app. The “Recipes” tab is where you start out and is where you’ll find recipes to check out. There are two views that you can toggle with the button at the top of the screen and they are sort by Category and
sort by “Episodes,” which is by what episodes the recipes are in.
Once you find a recipe all you have to do is touch it and it will come up full screen. You’ll see a brief description of the recipe, as well as a picture of it and a menu bar on the right side of the screen. You can use it to move between the “Summary,” “Ingredients,” and “Step by Step.”
Another really cool feature of this app is that some of the recipes actually have video showing how to make them instead of just a picture! If there is
a video available for your recipe you’ll see a play button over the top of the photo on the “Summary” page. To play a video all you have to do is touch it like you would any youtube video and it will play.
So once you find a recipe that you want to make and that you feel comfortable it’s time to go shopping! This app makes that extremely easy by allowing you to add a recipe to your “Shopping” list. To do so just open the recipe you want and touch the “Add
ingredients to shopping” button. Once you do all of the needed ingredients show up on your shopping list that is built into the app.
Something else I found interesting is that if you select a recipe, but you aren’t sure what else would go well with it, this app can actually make suggestions for you! To do this all you have to do is add a recipe to your “Menu” and then go to the “Menu” page and touch the “Suggest items to complete my menu” button.
The load times and information in this app are excellent, and the video demonstrations are very easy to follow. With that said I honestly kind of expected more of the recipes to have video demonstrations. Especially when you consider that this app is $4.99. Overall though, the app is good, and the integrated shopping list makes it both an informative and practical way to learn to make new food. So what are you waiting for? Check out Chinese Food In Minutes in the App Store today!
