Not enough content

Its a nice app but not enough content for 4 bucks.

Good app, but...

Just downloaded the app. So far so good, but I noticed that after playing a video the app crashes.

I love this app!

Not only is it beautiful, its everything I want to know. I used to walk into Asian grocery markets for fun just because I liked all of the fun packaging. I wished I knew how to cook with some ingredients like bamboo shoots or banana leaves. My Americanized cooking never tasted the same as the restaurants I went to. This app is a god send! I love it and hello sticky rice and mango recipe!!! I can also watch a video on how to make perfect chapati! Yum! Double yum! That alone is worth buying this app! Highly recommend!

Great app

There arent many recipes, Could appreciate more recipes like vietnamese Pho or Japanese ramen dishes. Well just more recipes in general. The app is very great clean and helpful, the video tips are somewhat helpful for preparing but I thought the videos were meant for a particular aspect of the dish, slightly misleading the information provided by ingredients are good but would like to see a "suggestion" area where the users could see where specific ingredients could be used.

Its ok

I thought this might be really great since it had that price tag, but recipes are very limited , there are free apps that have more info on ingredients than this, if it was 99 cents then I wouldnt complain. Nice design but no substance! I would like more Vietnamese recipes and Korean recipes as well to change my mind!

Too few recipes!

Too expensive for too few recipes most of which can be found for free on the net. This app doesnt even give you web links for purchasing your ingredients, so unless you live in a large city like NYC or LA, you wont be able to cook most of the limited recipes in this app. Not recommend.

Very Basic

The ingredients are very basic. This app is only useful if you have an extremely limited knowledge of asian food. I was disappointed and sorry that I forked over the cash.
