Cook’s Companion

Why have ten apps for cooking when you can have just one? The Cook’s Companion app includes several tools to make mealtimes much easier. The measurement converter lets you translate recipes from across the pond, the kitchen timer will let you know when to pull your dish out the oven—and create preset timers for favorite dishes. You can look up interesting and unfamiliar ingredients and equipment with tips for usage and storage information, as well as a cooking glossary that will keep you from guessing when a recipe calls for “concasser” or “chiffonade.” Free in the iTunes store.
