How to Cook Everything App Press

“The search and shopping-list capabilities and cross-referencing alone make the HTCE apps invaluable. But when you consider they have every single recipe and variation that you’d find in the big red and green books, they become unbelievable.”
— Mark Bittman

We’ve created a set of fundamentally unique mobile apps that are truly useful anywhere, anytime. Online or offline, it’s all there.

The family of How to Cook Everything® apps includes:

• How to Cook Everything for the iPhone and iPod Touch
• A universal version of How To Cook Everything that is optimized to run on each of the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices
• The Essentials app for iPhone, a free and abridged version of the How to Cook Everything app, containing 102 basic recipes
• The How to Cook Everything Vegetarian for iPhone and iPod Touch, and the How to Cook Everything Vegetarian Universal app that is optimized for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch

These apps are a collaboration among the author, Mark Bittman, his publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Trade Publishing, and Culinate.

• For inquiries regarding any of the How to Cook Everything series of apps, please contact Mark Douglas at mark@culinate.com.
