Smartphones are too small to prop up and read across the kitchen, but the Fire’s 7-inch screen is just about big enough. Prop ’er up against the toaster, dial up your favorite recipe, and get cooking with these apps.
Allrecipes.com DinnerSpinner for Android (free). Gourmet chefs and those who can saunter confidently into the kitchen and whip up a meal, move along. For the rest of us food soldiers, though, facing five empty tables a week, this one’s a no-brainer. Stocked with 40,000 dishes from the volunteer brigades at this popular website, it’s perfect for finding your next meal. Start either by browsing the top-10, highly rated “featured” recipes or give the DinnerSpinner a twirl. The latter is an incredibly helpful way to tap choices in three big categories: type of meal (appetizer, soup, main), ingredients (from beef or cheese to shellfish or vegetable), and time available. There’s also a traditional search tool. Once you’ve found a good match, either read it on your Fire or email it to yourself to print. Bon appetit.
