How app-etising! The top food apps worldwide

Note: This is a guest post by Clare Carmichael, a food blogger from UK.

Technology is evolving as we speak and it seems like every day there are new gadgets popping up, claiming to make our life easier.

Nowadays you can feel like you’re some sort of noob if you’re not up to date. I won’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to meet a friend and they’ve been running late and used Facebook to tell me this because they presumed I had internet on my phone. In the end I gave in to peer pressure and bought myself an iPhone, which has changed my life!

I have to admit that I’ve become slightly addicted to buying apps…many of which I don’t even need! Food apps are my favourite because I love cooking and trying out new recipes. I justify my addiction by saying it’ll make my dinner parties even more spectacular!

  1. With the new applications being available for mobiles you no longer need to run to your computers to collect information. Everything you need is so easily available with the click of a button. Before it was so hard to cook your favorite dish because you didn’t have its recipe but now it is so easy, as they have application even for that.

  2. Having an android phone has made my life so easy. I don’t really need to go far in search of information. I can download any application with minimum problem. I can read books, search for places, etc with the help of my mobile. Cooking has become so easy because of this. All i have to do is type a name and they give me the whole recipe along with the reviews about the dish. You can also select particular dishes as your favorites so that they are easily found the next time you want to make them.
