1. The Jamie Oliver Recipes app has long been one of my favourites - especially as it came to the iPad a few months back. Whilst the app is free, there’s a number of In-App Purchases that unlock recipe packs to compliment the free Taster Pack that comes with the app. The most recent addition is a bumper Christmas recipe pack - 2-Day Christmas Dinner, Rummy Lemonade, and tonnes more for £1.99 ($2.99). Steph and I are almost certainly going to be using some of these over the next week or so (though for Christmas Day itself, we’re going with a Nigella recipe). The app also has built-in voice control (a relatively recent addition): simply select a recipe, turn on the voice feature and you can progress the recipe steps just by saying “Next” & “Previous” - making the iPad version a great kitchen companion.
