Dessert Recipes
Need inspiration for afters? From fudges to puddings and pies to cookies, this app offers over 325 delicious recipes, broken into convenient categories, as the fancy may take you. No more flipping through dozens of cookbooks - they even have videos to show you exactly how it's done. Life is good.
The Photo Cookbook - Baking
Sometimes, step-by-step instructions just aren't enough. That's why this app uses beautiful step-by-step hi-res photography to help you pick from 60 recipes for cakes and pies, sweet and savoury pastries, cookies and breads - each beginning with an opening shot of all the ingredients needed. You don't need to be a baking pro to give this one a go!
Healthy Desserts
You want to go healthy but don't want to compromise on taste. These guys understand. Satisfying your sweet tooth the healthy way does not mean sticking to fruit salads every time. They've got healthy chocolate cake, cheesecake, pannacotta, brûlée, muffins, cupcakes, crumbles, parfaits and more that you can have absolutely guilt-free. Bonus: each recipe has calorie figures, in case you're counting.
Raw Desserts
Yup, you read right. If you're a raw food advocate and don't want to skip dessert, here are more than 55 plant-based treats made from "Mother Nature's finest". Not only are they vegan and Paleo-friendly, they are wheat, gluten, refined sugar, dairy, egg, and yeast-free too! Pricey, but at least you won't feel puffy or bloated afterwards!
Substitutions
You're halfway through baking when you realise you don't have all-purpose flour. Would whole wheat work? This is the app that offers substi-tutions for over 500 ingredients, searchable by ingredient or category such as gluten-free, spices, etc. Most swaps are one-to-one, but measurements for others are given as needed.
