Technology is taking over every industry and every field and we are no punters when it comes to food apps! Indulging in the rise of the apps we are using this boost to our advantage. Breaking the Bond of traditional recipes available online, these apps are always available on her majesty’s spice service. (You got it right, we are in movie marathon mood today!)
When you are working in the kitchen, taking hand-written notes or carrying your laptop are a pain & (not so much) gain, but with these food apps all you need is your phone. However, that’s not the only reason we are in love with this app trend. Adding unconventional twists and collaborating multiple platforms, many of these food apps have become our go-to place whenever in search of something new.
Mixologist

Friends dropping in unannounced with nothing but a bottle of tequila, in hopes you could drink some margaritas and kick back the day’s stress. But, you don’t have all the things to stir up traditional margaritas or any other cocktails you know. Sounds familiar? Time to let go of those woes as Mixologist is here!. Hit your liquor cabinet and do a quick scan of what’s available, put it up on the app along with other ingredients and they will present a mix just for you (talk about personalized service)!
Putting the bartending guide out of use, Mixologist has everything we need to explore the ‘shaken, not stirred’ league while keeping up with our eccentric spontaneity. Everything from the kind of liquor, type of mixer and the cocktail glass comes into account when using Mixologist. Thus, making it our sure shot way of impressing guests without going Upside Down or making our head go Inside Out!
Fooducate

Let’s get real, we have all been down the diet road once in our lifetime, more often than not resulting in disappointment with not being able to keep up and indulge in our fast-food cravings. Fooducate makes eating healthy and losing weight easier without having to endure the despondence from missing out on our favourite foods.
It boasts of being a nutrition app, not just a calorie counter and we reckon that’s absolutely correct. For every craving, you can use Fooducate to find a healthier alternative rather than kicking your taste buds to the curb. Their graded food rating system really helps in choosing the right option taking into account calories per serving. So, you no longer need to scrub out your everyday meals but simply adapt them to healthier alternatives.

It’s Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs at getting it wrong with Cookpad. If you love cooking like us, you know how fun it can be to share it with others and have them whirl it up for themselves. Cookpad provides you such a platform! Share your own recipes and make some food-loving virtual friends.
