Must-Have Recipes from BHG 1.0.4

Search for recipes, create shopping lists and read guides on how to cook anything
The internet is filled with all sorts of recipes to choose from, but sometimes we get overwhelmed by the multitude of choices. That's why it's more convenient to use a recipe app than to just simply browse on your computer. But some apps don't come with a large enough variety of dishes to choose from and some don't have enough features. Must-Have Recipes from BHG has both, but for a price.

Sleek interface that makes it easy to search for recipes

An intuitive UI is extremely important when using a recipe app, since users must be able to cook and check the app at the same time. The interface is sleek, with a nice design and plenty of professional pictures. There's a menu on the left side of the screen, containing all the features this app has to offer. It opens with suggestions of top recipes and a list of all categories on the left.

Browse through various recipes

If you're looking for inspiration for the coming week, you'll surely find something interesting here. The app has recipes for many famous dishes and some less popular ones, all arranged neatly into categories. However, users need to unlock some of them, by paying 0.99$. Still, recipes for grilled dishes, desserts and beverages are free.

Users also have the option of searching dishes by typing in their favorite ingredients. All entries come with a list of ingredients and easy to understand steps. Some have a sheet with nutritional facts, but all can be shared or favorited. Recipes come with pictures but they won't load if you're using the app offline.

Create shopping lists and check out guides

All recipes that you've favorited are saved in a separate section. Users also have the option of creating shopping lists, ingredients are automatically added to a page that you can save. One of the app's advantages is it's guide section, filled with professional tips on how to bake, cook meat and vegetables.

It's extremely useful for people who are new to cooking and wish to learn how to do it right, but the text in this section is ill-fitted, leaving a lot of blank space in the page. In addition, users should know that recipes aren't rated and don't come with any reviews.
