If you love cookbooks but can't own them all, you will love this app. It has a wide selection of the most popular cookbooks with access to ALL the recipes. And, they are constantly adding books to the collection. It can't get better than that. I buy ebooks only because of lack of space and portability. I use this app for non e-book versions. Membership is worth every penny. I just saw they are running a free membership promotion. Now would be the time to join.

Every Recipe You Could Ever Want! Initially, I subscribed to research historical recipes. Then I discovered so much more! And no more spattered cookbooks because everything is on my tablet. I've been using the website for over a year. The app is even better! Incredibly easy to use. So many search options. Save your favs. Create collections. I love it!

Tried to use facebook to signup, but the app will not sign in, just loads forever. and now it won't let me use any alternative signup/login because it recognizes I have facebook. Was willing to try, but it's completely nonfunctional. Edit: reply to dev- I should not have to email tech support on an app to use it for the first time. That is ridiculous. please figure it out on your own and if it ever gets fixed, I'll try.
