Voice-Controlled iCookbook app for iPhone - Siri for Turkey Day

It’s almost Turkey Day. Can you smell the cranberry sauce, Mac & Cheese and stuffing? You may not play integral role in preparing the Thanksgiving dinner, but you will most definitely partake in the spoils. If you still want to feel like you are contributing to process, you should bless the hands will prepare the meal with the iCookbook app packed with over Over 2,000 recipes, and some cool Siri-like features for their iPhone or iPad.

Here is just a short-list of the features of the iCookbook app:

- View and rate recipes

- Personalize built-in recipes and add your own recipes and photos

- Print recipes to any AirPrint-compatible device

- Share your favorite recipes via email and Facebook

- New (and free) recipes every month

The one stand-out feature that the cook in your family will appreciate is the ability to control the app using voice commands. This will definitely come in handy when your fingernails are caked with baking ingredients and you need to flip through an actual cookbook.

Once you’ve picked the recipe you want to prepare, you can move through the steps by calling out simple commands. the app will automatically advance through the instructions and display a step or two on the screen all without touching your device. You can control other aspects of the app by voice as well - review your own notes (iPad only), create and manage cooking timers and more.

What would have been killer is if iCookbook could actually speak the cooking instructions so cooks can keep their hands at the proverbial “10 & 2″ in order to avoid any fried-turkey mishaps. But for $4.99, all the features iCookbook currently will make it worth-while tool for any cook’s kitchen arsenal.
