App Review Look & Cook

Look & Cook published by Kinetic Art is a cooking ebook for ipad. It includes the collections of a top Israeli chef of healthy delicious food. These recipe are tailored for home cooks with a beginning knowledge of cooking, and are looking to increase their skills and prepare more healthy meals. Each recipe has three sections look, cook, and tools. These sections allow the reader to interact with the material in order to have a greater understanding of what they are cooking.  The look section is a panoramic view of all the ingredients and tools needed in order to cook the recipe. The cook section features the actual recipe and step by step images with instructions on the different stages of the recipe.  The tools section allows you to buy the actual tools the chef uses to achieve these masterpieces.

The interactivity includes the three sections, with the ability to connect to a site to buy materials.  In depth images and an easy interface to view the recipes. What could have added to the interactivity would be gifs that would allow the reader to see the cooking steps in action instead of a still image.

My experience with this ebook was great. I found the book easy to use, with an appetizing color scheme and a clear text. The instructions were clear and the images through each step allowed for greater clarity.  The recipes were organized into specific category's such as appetizers and desert which made it easy to explore and find what your looking for with the ability to slide recipes over and briefly see what is required to make them.

The interactivity enhanced my learning experience with the ebook. There was no sound or video in the ebook, which I feel would have added to the learning experience.A search tool to look up recipes would have also been helpful,  but what was there was fantastic. I see a great future in cook ebooks that help teach how to make preparing food easier, which is something most people need to learn how to do. I would recommend this ebook, and I feel its well worth its price.
