The app is called Recipe TV & Food Diary by ifood.tv, and it seems like it’s going to make cooking at home a lot easier and more diverse! ifood.tv is the world’s largest food and cooking video website, has just re-launched their video cooking app. It now puts over 35,000 cooking videos in the palm of your hand. To make it easy on you, videos can be searched by course, cuisine, ingredient, vegetarian, healthiness, flavor and more.

Sometimes it’s so much easier to watch a video then just following along with directions. Plus I love how you can search for something specific. But some of the key features in the app is what makes me excited.
