He was coming over any minute and it was my turn to cook. I had worked late that day and was in a rush when I completely forgot to pick up some shrimp for my risotto. I made it home but only had 45 minutes to come up with an impressive meal for two with nothing but what I had in my pantry. After a few minutes of panic I take out my phone and launch the Epicurious app.
What I absolutely love about this app is that I gives me the ability to list readily accessible ingredients and it gives me recipes that I can quickly and easily make. First it asks for my main ingredients, and after looking through my refrigerator I realize the only thing I have are a dozen eggs, two defrosted chicken breasts and a package of rice for the risotto I was no longer making. Thinking there was no way I could come up with a recipe with these ingredients I input the information into the app and……
“Broiled Chicken with Bacon Over Egg Fried Rice”
Prep time: 15min
Cook time: 30min
Autumn: Very Happy
I was very excited to attempt to cook Chinese food for the first time. What makes this even more amazing is that you also needed soy sauce and sesame oil and wouldn’t you know that I had some stored away from Chinese takeout I ordered a few weeks ago. So the food was cooked, I was date ready and ended up with three minutes to spare before the doorbell rang. My date later raved about my cooking and was very impressed with my ability to throw a few ingredients together and make a meal. Of course he was never told about my secret weapon..Epicurious
There are plenty of other great features on the app such as:
Course Search
Dish Search
Season or occasion search
There is also drink button that gives you drink recommendations for your recipe.
This app was free and it really did save my life. I recommend that you download it as soon as possible.
Happy Calling
