Finding new food recipes and trying the traditional or regional cuisine from countries all over the world can be a really fun activity. Windows Phone users have at their disposal quite a few dedicated apps they can try for such purposes and PetitChef is one of them.

Decent looks, focusing on practical use

The clean interface that greets you once you open the utility has a pretty nice aspect, with a carefully designed layout and proper graphics. Moving through the lists of recipes or scrolling among the numerous steps of a complicated recipe is seamless, without any glitches.

The loading time for the selected items is fairly short, with some occasional exceptions and the photos attached to most recipes are of good quality in most cases. A visible letdown is the presence of the advertisements that appear out of the blue and cover the whole screen.

Browse and search for new recipes or try the complete daily menu

PetitChef offers you in the first section a selection of dishes that are presented as the menu of the day, so you can give those a try if you fancy cooking a starter, a main course and a dessert. A varied choice of recipes uploaded by users worldwide is at your disposal and you can check out the latest additions from the dedicated area of the app.

In case you are interested in discovering how to cook and combine certain ingredients, the search function will be most useful and you can keep the recipes you like most in your personal cookbook inside the utility.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The look of this app is rather pleasant, with a nice choice of colors, well made graphics and a clean layout. A major hindrance are the adverts that appear in full screen from time to time.
Function9
 

The impressive variety of recipes, all described in great detail and most of them featuring user ratings are the substance of this application. The ability to store the preferred recipes in a special area is a welcomed bonus that many users will appreciate.
Security9
 

A really discrete application, PetitChef only needs to know the phone identity and leaves all the other sensitive areas of the system untouched.
Battery8
 

Even if it searches and retrieves the recipes from the Internet, the utility needs only a small to moderate amount of power to function properly, so the battery usage is preserved well within normal limits.
Price9
 

The wide variety of content it can bring freely to its users makes this app a truly valuable one, with only one visible drawback, the full-screen advertisements.
Compatibility8
 

Only the more recent handsets powered by Windows Phone 8 and above can benefit from having this application installed.
