I’ve long been a big fan of the original Jamie Oliver iPhone app - 20 Minute Meals - and the new Jamie’s Recipes app (free, with in-app purchases for extra recipe packs) is a seriously slick addition. There’s plenty of brand-name apps that completely suck, but the Jamie Oliver apps have always been great on the iPhone - an Apple Design Award for 20 Minute Meals is testament to that.

That’s not to say it’s perfect: I know it’d be tricky to recognise existing purchasers of the 20 Minutes Meal app, however it’d be great to not have to re-buy the 20 Minute Meal recipe packs; and an iPad UI would be terrific for a kitchen companion. That said, it’s a terrific app, full of nice little touches (such as the ones above, showing the extras at the top and bottom of the recipes list) and if you’re looking for a collection of stunningly tasty-looking food pr0n, you’d be silly to not give the free app a go.
It’s just $2 on the App Store, slickly designed, and already on my iPhone for testing later this week.
Congratulations to Tapbots on the launch of their new app: Calcbot. It’s a universal app for both iPhone and iPad - bringing a stylish calculator to the calculator-less iPad.

It’s 99ยข on the App Store.
A very nice app for your iPhone, coming soon.I know - another Twitter app for the iPhone. But it’s a slick icon, and a neatly-designed (thin-on-details) site.
Congratulations to Justin Williams on shipping 1.0 of his training application for iPhone and iPod touch.
