Handy CookBook 4+

This app was great, I’ve used it since version 1.0 I think. With iOS 13 onwards it won’t even open… and I now have no way to recover my recipes from a decade of professional kitchen work.

Such a disappointment to lose recipes I’ve picked up from people like Gordon Ramsey, Pierre Kaufman, and Marco Pierre White firsthand.

======= Original Review ======
As a chef I love to have a recipe book always to hand. And have been looking for an easy to use app since I got my iPhone last year. This 1 really does the trick

My only complaint would be I'd like it to deal with larger numbers of servings (some of my recipes start at 40-50 people!) and that I need a way to back this up, I'd hate to think of the hours I'd lose (since I've copied all my cookbooks into it!!)

Thanks again for a brilliant and simple app!

I have been so concerned that apple kept telling me that this app will not work with future iOS updates that I have hung on to an iPad that is too old for anything newer than iOS 9.something just to ensure access to this app (and one other from elsewhere but that's nothing to do with cooking).

I'm really happy to see that it has now been updated and I'm now off to tell the friends to whom I recommended this app a long time ago.

Thank you for keeping this current.

The app does what I want - it stores my favourite recipes at hand, to aid me in my grocery shopping lists, but also to have recipes with me when I may be cooking at a friend's house. Very handy if you don't have a printer to print your recipes for use in the kitchen, just retrieve it on your iPhone!

I reviewed this app a while back and noted that the app was really ugly and 80s looking. The developer took on my comments and it's now much nicer to use, and it is really handy to store my recipes for quick reference when i shop for ingredients after work and need to remember key ingredients in my recipes!

Thanks for enhancing the app! I would like to see more fields to separate some of the information i've entered - such as number of servings, preparation time, cooking time and formatting of the ingredients so that the quantities and the ingredient list are nicely formatted on the iPhone.
