Q: Wait—what? You have an iPad app?
A. Yep!
For less than the cost of a less-than-healthy fast food meal, users get a beautiful, immersive cooking app packed with over 140 recipes and 2,000 high-resolution photos that show off every step of the cooking process.
The app features tons of new recipes with my own special brand of commentary, as well as updated versions of classic Nom Nom Paleo dishes. With a swipe of the finger, users can follow each recipe from the cutting board to the dining room table. In addition, the app offers a “Paleo 101” primer, a 30-day meal planning guide, a customizable shopping list, a collection of culinary tips, tricks, and trivia, links to exclusive online content, and much, much more.
Q: Why an app?
A: As one New York Times article pointed out:
The interface of a tablet offers possibilities to the cook that would be impossible with a laptop, let alone a book. Swiping, tapping and zooming through information presented in multimedia is a good match for the experience of cooking, which involves all the senses and the brain, as well. And when those faculties fail, as often happens in high-stress kitchen scenarios like Thanksgiving, apps can come to the rescue with features like technique videos, embedded glossaries and social media links.My goal was to create an app that would give my readers the experience of cooking with me at home—complete with images of every single step of the cooking process and my own flippant, snarky commentary. I suppose I could’ve tried to cram all of our step-by-step photos and instructions into a cookbook, but I think a book with two thousand photos would be a pain in the keister to lug around the kitchen.
Of course, if you’d prefer to have a physical book, I got you covered there, too.
Q: So is this an e-book?
A: Nope! E-books are great, but they’re more or less static documents that readers scroll through like a regular book. This is something entirely different, and intended to be much more engaging and immersive. Plus, it’ll cost you just a fraction of what a typical e-book costs. Try the app and see!
Q: What does my hard-earned money buy me?
A: Upon purchase, you’ll have access to over 140 of my best Paleo recipes, along with all of the app’s incredible features, including an interactive shopping list, an extensive “Paleo 101” guide, a 30-day meal plan, and more. Plus, I’ll be adding more recipes on a regular basis—and they’ll be delivered automatically to your iPhone and iPad!
Q: What recipes are included in the app?
A: The app will regularly be refreshed with new recipes, but here's a listing of just some of the recipes you’ll find in the app!
Q: Does this app work with all iPhones and iPads?
A: Yes—as long as your app is running on iOS 8.0 or later! It even works on the iPad Pro!
A: We decided to go with the iPhone and iPad because: (1) we ourselves are iPhone and iPad users, and (2) developing on multiple platforms ain’t cheap, and money doesn’t grow on trees, sadly.
Plus, of my blog readers who access my site via a mobile device, over 85 percent of them do so using an iPad or iPhone (according to Google Analytics). That statistic is consistent with this infographic, which shows that the overwhelming majority of web traffic from tablet devices still comes from iPads.
The good news? Android is up next!
Q: Where can I download this app?
A: You can download a copy by clicking this link to visit the App Store. And if you enjoy it, PLEASE rate and review it—your feedback makes a tremendous impact!
