If you like gastronomy and everything that surrounds it (buying good quality food, going to restaurants, innovating in your recipes…) you should already have this list of applications on your mobile.
You love to cook. You know all the markets in your city and these are an essential visit when you do tourism. You even see the children’s editions of Masterchef, you know the names of all the chefs with a Michelin Star in Spain and you’ve even been to one. You have a Japanese knife sharpener that you bought on Amazon or a set to make sushi that you have used more than once and your children give you a different gadget every Christmas because they know they are always right. Although you may be that style of ‘foodie’ that their friends dedicate Pantomime Full videos like this one to.
You like Jamie Oliver and that’s why you had a difficult position when he put chorizo in his paella. Even you couldn’t forgive him for that. You define the Kitchen Channel as your God and “the rich French woman who cooks from Montmartre”, “the Italian grandmother” and all the other international chefs who appear on it are already part of your family.
If these descriptions relate to you, okay: you may already be familiar with some (or all) of these apps. But maybe we can surprise you. Or, if not, maybe you should develop your own. For all those who do not reach these levels but still enjoy gastronomy and everything that surrounds it, we leave you with a list of applications that should already be installed on your mobile: some that teach you how to cook step by step, others with challenges for those who already dominate the kitchen and want to improve themselves, the corresponding networks to show off those triumphs, those that compile the best places to go out to eat, or even those that allow you to enter someone’s house to try their food or, Directly, they bring someone to cook for you at home during a hangover Sunday.
In addition, there are other interesting apps that, although you won’t use them regularly, are sure to get you out of the way on occasion. For example, a kitchen measurement converter (there are many in the app store) to find out exactly how much is one cup, two ounces or 356 degrees Fahrenheit. And a pizza cutting app! There are also several that allow you to cut them proportionally into as many pieces as you want, because they draw it on your mobile or mark the pattern on your own pizza or cake, using the mobile’s camera.
EatWith
If, in addition to being a gastronomy lover, you are a restless ass and you love meeting new people, this app is for you. In it there are more than 20,000 hosts in 110 countries who invite you to eat at their home. It is especially interesting in countries where there is not a great habit of going out to eat; Well, you will always find the best dishes in the homes of the locals. Eatwith is an app with the same philosophy.
Chefly
This app puts customers wanting homemade food in contact with the chefs who make it. But, yes, it is not a fast food service, or home delivery, or a catering service. The idea is, simply, that the chefs make the food especially for you, with love and care, because you give value to the food prepared in this way.
Foodpotting
In this community, people do not value restaurants or bars, but their dishes. And with photographs, so that you enter by sight. It is a way to find both the most famous dishes of a city (such as the churros from San Ginés or the squid sandwich from the Brillante in Madrid) and to discover others that are highly valued by customers.
Mint
You will like Mentta if you have ever said that the tomatoes in the supermarket do not taste like tomatoes. If the first thing you would do when you arrive in Galicia is to buy a lettuce or a piece of empanada. With this application you can buy online directly from producers throughout Spain. Quality product, fresh, ecological, gourmet.
Take a chef
How many times have you wanted to eat the food of a good restaurant without leaving home? Or surprise your friends without knowing how to cook. For all those times, now you can bring the chef home and enjoy a set table. Through a series of questions (how many are you? Do you have an oven? What is your kitchen like and how many burners do you have?), the app will send you a list of proposals from the cooks that best suit what you want.
Hat cook
In every list of basic applications for a kitchen lover, there has to be one for recipes. In this case, we offer you two: Hatcook and Cookpad, a true classic. One stands out more for its appearance and the other for the number of recipes it incorporates.
Foodies
It is the Instagram of food lovers; a place where you can constantly see and upload photos of delicious dishes (but without boring the staff, because they all go there for the same thing). With more than 30 different filters to retouch your photos. The food mirror is another social network for foodies, but here you can not only show dishes; also products, markets, campaigns… They want you to move and discover, and create with you the first “Global Community of Food Observers”.
Adria at home
This one for the more advanced. Learn to cook and organize yourself like the ElBulli team did. The application incorporates 31 different menus of 3 dishes each, with recipes that you can follow step by step and also information on how the team worked that was considered the best restaurant in the world for 5 years.
Vivid
Scan a bottle of wine and the application will give you information about it: prices, ratings, reviews or pairing recommendations. You can also discover new or good wines to look good at that dinner to which you have been invited.
Cookbooth
It is an application with recipes, but explained step by step, with photos (very nice) of each one of them, in case you are not an expert cook or you like challenges and want to imitate professional chefs (whom you can follow to be always alert to their new creations and even get in touch).
Fork
It is never missing from this type of listing, just like Tripadvisor (to whom it belongs) is never missing from those of travel applications. Through it you can find the restaurants that you have nearby or are serving now, book, read information from the owners and reviews and ratings from the users themselves and obtain promotions and discounts of up to 50%. Restaurantes.com works the same way, but only in Spain.
Yelp
It is the largest database in terms of sites and user ratings. Not only restaurants and bars, but also leisure and beauty establishments and local services (from electricians to locksmiths).
Mr. Dog
Your dog is more polite than most children, and yet you are forced to leave him on a leash outside. With this application you can find out which bars and restaurants (and also shops and other establishments) you can enter with your pet and cross everyone else.
Celicity
You were celiac before it became fashionable and you have been suffering from the ambiguity of restaurant menus for much longer; That’s why you deserve more than anyone else this application with gluten-free stores in your area.
