Praise for the Joy of Cooking app:
“As in the book, the fire hose of information — how to frost a cake, make salt-cured lemons, field-dress a gut-shot animal — is overwhelming, but the digital design makes it easier to navigate through 4,500 recipes and numberless tips.”
— Julia Moskin, The New York Times
“@TheJoyOfCooking’s new iPad app might be the best thing to happen to home cooking since…the cast iron pan?”
— Samin Nosrat, Author of SALT, FAT, ACID, HEAT; via Twitter
“One of the things I love about this app is that it helps bring recipes to my attention that I’ve passed over in the print versions.”
— Marisa McClellan, Food in Jars
