The MBD Endorsement: Pepperplate
"When we eat together, when we set out to do so deliberately, life is better, no matter what your circumstances."
—Thomas Keller*
Anyway, like I said, I'm no Chef, just a dude who collects recipes that sound tasty and prepares them. As such, I need certain tools beyond the usual pots, pans, and knives. One such tool is a trusted recipe repository. Giada's site is a good one. The Pioneer Woman is fantastic. Google works, too. Food Network. Travel Channel. Whatever.
My other secret weapon is Pepperplate. It's incredible. I can add, edit, sync, and share recipes in LITERALLY SECONDS from any device--the web app on my browser, the iPad in the kitchen, and the iPhone at the grocery store. Scaling a recipe up or down is a cinch. The meal planning calendar and shopping list functions are dead simple and work flawlessly, and there's even a cooking timer baked in (harf harf harf) to the app. Pepperplate does everything my previous kitchen tool (Mac Gourmet) did, except, you know, better, faster, and totally free. Now that's a recipe for success.**
* God, starting a blog post with a ham-fisted quote like that is just such a twee thing to do I feel like I'm writing this in 2002.
** That was awful. Sorry.

Since you using the iPad app, I'd also recommend setting up the Pepperplate bookmarklet. Then you can quickly save recipes to Pepperplate while browsing on the web in mobile Safari.
