The $9.99 price tag is my excuse for not downloading the
Woman's Day Cookvook: Healthy Eating for Everyday Living iPhone app. According to WD, the CookVook provides healthy recipes in an "elegant, fun and easy to use application." Sounds like an interesting app, but this app only contains 45 recipes including Chicken Tortilla Soup and Cioppino.
What makes it a cookvook? Video. It contain a how-to video for each recipe including a video that explains how to clean a leeks. (That video actually sounds useful in my quest to keep the germs out of my kitchen.) The CookVook is based on their hardcover book, The Woman's Day Cookbook for Healthy Living. If I was really bored, missing home-cooked meals and sitting in an airport terminal, then maybe this would be fun. But the CookVook's small cooking repertoire doesn't seem very practical when I am searching for new and interesting recipes.
Another option...
Last year WD introduced their first iPhone app called the Cooking Assistant which is FREE. This app contains thousands of simple recipes tested by the cooks at WD. And it has a cool cooking time calculator and a shopping list feature so you can import the ingredients from a recipe into a shopping list feature.
