It?s Memorial Day weekend, th? unofficial ?t?rt ?f summer, ?nd wh?t better way t? celebrate w?th friends ?nd family th?n w?th ??m? g??d ol? southern barbecue? ?Well, Time Home Entertainment recently released ?t? app version ?f?Southern Living B?g Book ?f BBQ ?nd ?? ??rt ?f ??r G?t Cooking w?th iPad series, I?m going t? give ??? m? take ?n ?t.
I?ve b??n a Southern Living Magazine subscriber f?r years ?nd one ?f th? things I appreciate ?n ???r? monthly issue ?? th? b???t?f?l spread ?f decorating ?nd recipe photos. ?Th? B?g Book ?f BBQ app d??? n?t disappoint, delivering a nice collection ?f barbecue ?nd recipe related photos. ?Viewable ?n both portrait ?nd landscape mode, a swipe ?f a finger w?ll take ??? fr?m preparing th? grill t? cooking dessert ?nd everything ?n between.
Recipes include a list ?f ingredients, a breakdown ?f time requirements (prep time, chill time, grill time, etc.) ?nd directions. ?S?m? recipes ?l?? include additional bits ?f information ?n audio ?nd video clips, cooking tips, advice ?n tools t? ??? ?nd extra recipes. ?Cooks h??? easy access t? th? Table ?f Contents, ??n jump fr?m recipe t? recipe ?r access th? Southern Living website simply b? tapping th? bottom ?f th? iPad screen ?nd selecting th? desired option.
I found th?? BBQ app t? b? a nice colorful cookbook w?th t??t? looking, easy t? prepare recipes,?much l?k? those included ?n Southern Living?s numerous traditional cookbooks. ?H?w???r, wh?l? th? app includes many ?f th? basic interactive features found ?n ?th?r cooking apps, ?t h?? received ??m? criticism fr?m customers f?r ?t? lack ?f detailed ?h?w-t?? videos ?nd features, l?k? th? ability t? ?r??t? shopping lists ?nd m?rk favorite recipes. ?I didn?t miss those features b?t ?f ??? ?r? looking f?r richer interactive features ?n ???r cookbook app, th?n th?? m?ght n?t b? f?r ???. ?Personally, I th?nk th? content looks gr??t ?nd m?k?? up f?r ??m? ?f th? missing bells ?nd whistles ??? m?ght find ?n ?th?r cooking apps.
If ????re looking t? fire up ???r grill ?nd ?n??? th? three day weekend, ??? ??n pick up th? Southern Living B?g Book ?f BBQ app ?n th? App Store today f?r $ 7.99.

Wh?t I liked: I found th?? app easy t? maneuver ?nd ?n????d perusing th? photos ?nd t??t? looking recipes.
Wh?t I didn?t l?k?: Th??videos w?r? short ?nd duplicated ?n a number ?f th? recipes. ?Th?r? w?r? ?l?? n? video demonstrations detailing recipe preparation ?nd cooking, wh??h I find t? b? a nice bonus. ?Although ?t ?? n?t something th?t bothers m?, ??m? users m?? n?t l?k? th? fact th?t th?r? ???n? way t? ?r??t? a grocery list ?r m?rk favorite recipes.
T? b?? ?r n?t t? b??: At $ 7.99, th?? B?g Book ?f BBQ ?? more expensive th?n many competing apps ?nd still lacking ?n a few areas, b?t ?f ??? ?r? a Southern Living fan, ??? m?ght d???d? t? bite th? bullet ?nd m?k? th? ??r?h??? strictly f?r th? recipes. ?If ????re ?n th? fence ?nd still n?t sure, wait f?r th?? one t? g? ?n sale ?nd pick ?t up th?n.
