*iCookbook* is a lovely *cookbook app* that showcases Windows 8's most
aesthetically pleasing features. As befits a cookbook, iCookbook looks
impeccable. All recipes are accompanied by a great high resolution photo, and
the search results (search is accessed via the charms bar, which in turn is
accessed by mousing over the top right of your screen), look especially good.
The search function is further improved by filtering options, and the *Stir*
feature, which lets you "mix up" large groups of search results in the hope
of further inspiration. iCookbook makes following recipes very easy, with the
recipe stats, ingredients and preparation instructions laid out in a very
clear, informative manner. It's unfortunate, then, that the app doesn't
support mouse scrolling or the left and right arrow keys, as we found this to
be the most intuitive way to move through recipes. iCookbook offers other
features that will become useful as you use the app over time. There's a *My
Recipe* collection, where you can collect your favorites, a set of kitchen
tools like *weight converters and baking tin charts*, and a *ratings
feature*, so you know what's worth making again. On the downside, iCookbook
doesn't convert between cups and metric automatically, and there's no
note-taking function. *iCookbook looks like a promising app. It's good at the
moment, but needs a few improvements to be truly great.*Download *iCookbook
