Nigella – Queen of the Kitchen and the iPhone

22.04.2010

This week our favourite curvy TV chef Nigella Lawson has launched a new iPhone application called ‘Nigella’s Quick Collection’.

“It’s designed for people who work and have domestic responsibilities. You can choose a recipe according to your food mood, then it translates that into a shopping list so you can just stumble around with your shopping trolley.” Explains Nigella. “I love the idea of sitting on a bus looking at close-up photographs of food.”

A number of recipes are featured including Curry in a Hurry, Coq au Reisling and Cheescake in Glass. It’s even possible to send dinner invitations to friends using Facebook and email.

Videos of Nigella Lawson are featured on the app where she shares tips on a variety of topics  including choosing chorizo and how to seed a pomegranate.

“I hope it’s like having a slightly bossy but supportive friend in the kitchen with you” Nigella said.

The app is already beating Jamie Oliver’s “20 Minute Meals” application and Gordon Ramsey has confirmed that he will be launching his own application this summer.

So who will be top of iPhone cookery apps? Only thyme will tell!
