“Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List” is an application that is found on iTunes and is dedicated to Apple mobile device users. This means that you can run it on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, but only if the operating system is iOS 3.2 or later. Conde Nast Digital created a free application for all of the Apple users who want to get some recipes from the award-winning cooking site, epicurious.com.
I like the description of this app, because it starts with a recognition from its users, saying that this app has “over 3.5 million downloads”. Well, with such result, you cannot stay indiferent.
