Photo-enhanced cooking app The Photo Cookbook is Apple's free App of the Week
For only the second time in its four-year history, The Photo Cookbook – Quick & Easy has just gone free. But this time, it’s done so as Apple’s App of the Week on the App Store.
As its name suggests, The Photo Cookbook is a cooking app that’s enhanced with photographs, particularly of ingredients included in recipes. As explained by Apple in its App Store Notes for the app:
Each week, we select a great app and bring it to you, for free, as our App of the Week. (In-App Purchases sold separately.) Prepare a scrumptious array of appetizers, main courses, and desserts with The Photo Cookbook’s easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Stuffed with luscious photos and interesting food facts, the app includes 84 recipes geared to a variety of tastes, with many more available via In-App Purchases.
Previously priced at $3.99, The Photo Cookbook – Quick & Easy is downloadable free of charge on the App Store from today through Wednesday next week at least. It’s compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later.
Released back in June 2010, The Photo Cookbook was featured by Apple in July 2011 in one of the company’s TV ads for the iPad 2, titled “We’ll always,” as in, “We’ll always cook dinner”:
