How to Cook Everything App Press

(text, James Berry)

“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:

 The original How To Cook Everything Universal app 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
 How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, a Universal app that is optimized for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
 And, How to Cook Everything® Cooking Basics, another Universal app based on Mark Bittman's latest release How to Cook Everything the Basics

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.
 For inquiries regarding either the book How to Cook Everything or Mark Bittman, please contact Rebecca Liss at rebecca.liss@hmhco.com.
 Learn more about the author at MarkBittman.com.

You can also get a copy of the HTCE press release, Essentials press release, or the iPad app press release, or the HTCE Vegetarian press release.
