Presenting a gourmet meal to your friends and family doesn't mean you have to work tirelessly in the kitchen for hours or spend a lot of money on ingredients. You can use apps to elevate your dinners to make every meal look and taste 5 star.
You don't have to shell out loads of money to make showstopping dinners. Some simple tips and techniques can be acquired with apps that make your dinners look and taste like a gourmet chef is in your kitchen. You can find easy fancy dinner recipes on apps like Bonappetit. Along with recipes, apps like these can give you useful tips on presentation of the cuisine as well as the table. Comparatively, you can look online to find ideas on how to be creative with plating your simple yet fancy meals. For example, if you're cooking an easy but impressive pasta dish, you could watch a video on how to twirl the pasta into the bowl to give it a restaurant-quality look. Along with recipe apps, you can use apps like Snapseed to take amazing pictures of your dishes before you eat your delicious meal.
Additionally, with the number of people that identify as vegetarian rising every year, you will want to find an app that focuses on gourmet vegetarian meals. Luckily, there are many apps out there that offer easy gourmet vegetarian meals that will spice up your weekly dinner routine. Specifically, apps like Green Kitchen are designed for vegans and vegetarians, therefore, making it easy to find a multitude of recipes just for you. Alternatively, if you want to find a recipe app where you type in ingredients you want to use and the app gives you dish options, you can download SuperCook. This app allows you to type in the ingredients you already have so you can equally make a gourmet meal and spend less money at the store.
Of course, not everyone is a vegetarian. So, if you want to make a special dinner for your meat-loving partner, let's look for an app that features fancy dinner recipes for two. Apps like SideChef offer instructional videos for special beef recipes like Beef Bourguignon that can walk you through the French techniques to master this dish. Alternatively, you can find easy and impressive meals for company on apps by deciding on a recipe and adjusting the calculations by how many people are attending. For example, you can find options for easy gourmet chicken dinners that may look and taste high dollar, but in fact, cost much less.
