Update: Giveaway is over but please check out the app!  Thanks!

Truett is finally getting to the age where he can help in the kitchen more and with the help of an iPad food app and some kid friendly recipes, we are sure to create some memories!

Celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson has added to the already large selection of recipes by creating exclusive recipe content for the fantastic iPad app, Big Fork Little Fork. It’s an Apple iPad app that provides tools for kids to get them excited about food and help create family meals. I personally love every single thing about this app. They did a great job with it and not only does it capture my eye, my son loves the photos and game. He likes to pick different recipes and just look at them and he loves the game.

I created a video to give you a quick look at it but some of the things that I love are:

  • Big photos
  • Clear, bold steps and ingredient list
  • Fun games to engage the kiddo and learn about food
  • Shopping List
  • Search
  • Extremely user friendly
  • Cool menu with photo icons
  • EASY recipes with nutritional information
  • Very cool videos (love the peeling vegetables one!!)

WIN AN IPAD!

To celebrate his efforts in creating these fabulous recipes, I’m giving away an iPad!  Thanks to Kraft Foods, I get to give you the chance to own one of the coolest gadgets around!  One winner will receive an Apple iPad 16GB, Wifi.

    I think something simple enough for a preschool aged child to be able to help out would be awesome like pics showing the measurements and the ingreadients as well as words for the mom or dad to help teach the child while doing something fun together.

  2. Elizabeth I says

    My app would start with a term, you would input the term, a food item, them, chef, and then it would ask you more questions such as a certain course, other ingredients and it would eventually narrow down what you are looking for with options.

    Like a choose your own adventure for food.

  3. kelly says

    I love the shopping list feature on the big fork little fork app ! Does it show photos of the items needing to but purchased as well?

  13. Stephanie V says

    based on time and healthy scale – like 15 min and medium fat content. I am fighting cancer right now, just had a treatment last week and am still in isolation and some type of special diet category would have been great for me as well (low iodine in my case)

  14. Benny Williams says

    My ideal recipe/food app would be one where I could:
    a) download recipes from various popular websites and save them
    b)enter my own recipes EASILY
    c)email any recipe in my collection

    Thanks!

  18. Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommy says

    I’d like an app with recipes that are fairly easy to make, don’t have impossible to find ingredients, don’t take too long to make and have a grocery list included with the sale prices and/or a coupon for some of the items.

  23. andrea says

    Oh there is an app for that! lol
    I like the shopping list feature on the app.. Thanks for the chance and Happy Holidays :)

  24. Margaret Smith says

    My ideal recipe app would have very simple instructions (user friendly). I’d also like to see step by step photo’s, along with instructions right underneath each photo. So I clearly understand any unusual terminalogy that they may be using in the recipe.
    Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway. Got my fingers crossed. Thanks.

  25. Margaret Smith says

    I really love the videos. I laughed when I read about the step-by-step instructions for teaching kids to crack an egg. I just tried showing my 13 year old son how to crack an egg last week, while we were baking.
    Thanks again.

    I like Kraft Foods on Facebook (Margaret E. Smith)
    Thanks

  32. Suzanna says

    my App would be ingredient substitutions -especially Baking how many time shave been cooking and do not have what we need on hand

  33. Tari L. says

    It would be awesome if it could somehow link you to coupons for some of the products used in the recipe.

  34. Paula says

    Well my app would be homeaid breakfast food and lunch and dinner and have videos and questions and people could add there own recipe! :)

  35. hminnesota says

    it would be cool if you list nearest stores which carry the specialized items listed in the recipe.

  37. Paula says

    I love how big fork little fork gets kids excited to learn to cook and possibly try new foods!

  42. Ron Miller says

    this is easy, the ideal app because my wife bakes and boils everything with concern for her family’s health, would only present her with fried foods…

  46. Dina says

    It would be totally cool, if I could input the ingredients that I *do* have when I have no ideas what to make, and the app magically takes my ingredients and gives me the perfect recipe. The Big Fork Little Fork app is perfect for my kids. Love it.

  53. Katie | GoodLife Eats says

    I love that the ap is kid friendly. There are several recipe aps geared towards adults, so this is neat! I love cooking with my kids and they would have so much fun looking through the recipes on this to pick out what to make.

  58. Karla Sceviour says

    I would like an app that I can put the ingredients that I have on hand in and it will give me a good recipe to make,with very few ingredients..also,I would like for it to be easy to understand,and pictures to go along with it! I would like recipes for healthy,yet tasty meals!
    ksceviour@hotmail.com

  62. Karla Sceviour says

    My favorite thing about the Big Fork Little Fork food/recipe iPad app is “If you’ve ever been frustrated by having a picky eater, this is the perfect iPad app for you” and I am defiantely frustrated by a picky eater!! This would be great for me! Would love to try out the great recipes!
    ksceviour@hotmail.com

  63. lifeasamama says

    i like that this is a techy way to get my daughter interested in cooking. believe me, if it’s on the ipad, she would want to see it!

  64. lifeasamama says

    my ideal app would have things sorted by allergy – we have a dairy allergy here, but have friends with wheat, nuts, peanut, egg, soy, corn, etc. allergies – and trying to find recipes that match different combinations of allergies can be tricky.

  65. Brandi says

    Although I don’t have an Iphone (or any “I” thing!), I think the ideal app would be one that has detailed recipes and includes a shopping list for that recipe — so that when you are in the grocery store you can just pull it up and see what you need to get! (There may already be an app for this, but remember, I am not a member of the “I” club yet) :)

  66. Brandi says

    I think the Big Fork/Little Fork app would be great! Especially if you have kids. It would be a great way to start teaching them how to cook and become familiar in the kitchen, as well as teaching them health and nutrition at the same time. Great idea, Kraft!! :)

  67. conniemelancon says

    My ideal food app would include a lot of the same as this one. Shopping list (with add to shopping list feature), kid friendly and video’s.

  68. conniemelancon says

    My favorite thing about this app is that it is Kid Friendly. My granddaughter always wants to help cook and this would be perfect for us together.

  77. Robyn Wright of Robyn's Online World says

    I would love something like the Big Fork, Little Fork, but with a more grown up appeal to it. Lots of pictures, videos, etc. Would be nice to see a recipe and then be able to click on different ingredients and techniques mentioned to see more info or even videos about that specific thing and then be able to go right back into the recipe.

  83. Cat @ 3 Kids and Us says

    I don’t even know if this is possible with the iPad but I’d love to have a food app that is voice controlled. It would show me video instructions for a recipe and allow me to pause, replay, slow down parts of the video with voice commands. This would be helpful while cooking so I wouldn’t have to touch it with food fingers.

  84. Mel says

    The app needs to be easily seen on one page with no scrolling. A picture is important. I like groups of recipes with common ingredients so I only need 1 shopping list for the whole lot.

  90. traci s says

    i dont have any I things , and dont know really what apps are, but thinking of what i need it would have a big bag of suger in a no sugar here circle over it, and i would be able to go and put in what i would like to eat and it would bring up recipes for me that have a conversion from sugar to splenda or sweet & low, so i could make great tasting meals for me! i am a diabetic and think this would be fantastic

  99. Carrie says

    This is an awesome app. My 5 year old is the pickiest eater ever. But she also loves to help in the kitchen. This would be the perfect combo for her and hopefully getting her to try new things.

  100. ciara says

    my ideal food app would be one w simple & clear instructions with photos to show the process & outcome…where you can put in ingredients you have & a recipe will pop up. i’m not the best cook in the world, so i would definitely need the app to spell out everything for me. lol :o) it also would be nice if it had gluten-free alternatives or more natural alternatives to standard recipes.

  101. ciara says

    my favorite thing about the big fork little fork app is that it has the games to keep your kids occupied while they learn about the food pyramid & nutrition.

  103. Sharon says

    I’d like an app that would create ingredient lists for shopping, along with calorie counts and detailed recipe instructions (and maybe a timer!)

  113. Kristin says

    I guess my ideal recipe app would be one that would give you the option of ticking off the main ingredients (that you have on-hand) and then giving you some recipe options utilizing those ingredients. I hate looking through recipes until I find one that I can actually make with what I have on-hand!

  116. McKim says

    My ideal app would have step by step instructions with photos, as well as a photo of the finished product.

  117. Melissa P. @Mel4Him says

    Main Entry
    I always wonder what I can make with the recipes I already have on hand. So, my ideal app would be one where I could enter those ingredients and it would give me a few recipes I could make from them.

    Mel4Him777{at}gmail{dot}com

  120. Melissa P. @Mel4Him says

    One of the things I like about the Big Fork Little Fork food/recipe iPad app is the videos. Even I need them. : )
    Mel4Him777{at}gmail{dot}com

  121. Joyce S. says

    I’d like an app that would let me insert a few key ingredients and then it would show me some recipes using those ingredients.

  122. Joyce S. says

    A couple of the best features of big fork/little fork
    is that it’s both informative and well-organized.

  128. Dorene says

    I like it all. I do like the nutritional part since I am constantly on a “diet” and need to track that sort of thing..great job on the creation of this app..hope I manage to win the iPad so I can get it.

  129. JoeAnn says

    I would like for diet and facts on nutritional value. I follow Kraft on my email account and facebook. I have made many of the recipes. If I was to win the iPad it would really be aboost to me in keeping track of recipes and my life in general.

  130. Staci says

    I would love an app that has lots of tried and true family favorite recipes with good pictures and directions to make each recipe.

  131. susan martin says

    hi! i posted and liked on fb.already follow kraft foods!i love all the recipes…and i would like to see a food app that lists under your favorite ingrediant.like recipes with cheese!or recipes with chicken.or recipes with chocolate.instead of the usual by name.or catagories like meat,bread,cassaroles etc…italian with pastaor italian with cheese.

  132. Arianah Watts says

    My ideal app would be one that I can enter what I have on hand and creates a yummy recipe for me !

  140. Darla says

    I would like an app that would have healthy, lite and from scratch ingredients that were quick to make!

  144. Tawnda says

    well… just the Kraft name on the app tells me that it’s full of good-for-you kid-friendly scrumptious fun foods… ☺ and I like the games idea for keeping active minds involved during those boring waiting periods…

  148. Rose says

    Wow, I guess I would love an app that my daughter (13) and I could read and use together. I love cooking with her.

  149. Chelsea says

    My ideal recipe/food app would have easy recipes with step by step instructions! Yay for easy cooking and quick meals!

  153. cathy miller says

    A recipe app for me would have to be very basic, showing each step very carefully, some times i have to watch something a couple of times to get it. I would feel very accomplished if I made a successful meal using a recipe app.

  154. cathy miller says

    Tips/Information on nutrition and healthy habits for the whole family, along with tricks for kids like using lemon juice to make invisible ink. I love this it involves the whole family so on a snowy day they won’t get bored

  159. Stacy says

    Ohhh…my ideal recipe would have to have something with chocolate and peanut butter!!! Man, I’m hungry just thinking about it!

  160. Stacy says

    I love the pictures and step by step instructions on Big Fork Little Fork. I sure wish I had an iPad to enjoy it on (hint-hint).

  161. Huguette English says

    My ideal would be easy recipes that have nutritional values.
    henglish at nb dot sympatico dot ca

  168. Jenn@FFP says

    I would love to see an app that I can type the ingredients I have on hand and it gives me a list of ideas with links to the recipes.

  169. Kathleen says

    I’d like one where you could enter what foods you have one hand and it would give you recipe ideas.

    kport207 at gmail dot com

  172. Christine says

    I would love a recipe/food app that would give alternate substitutes for the various ingredients just to spice/change it up a bit. Thank you!

  178. Noreen Landaverde says

    an app where you input what you have in your kitchen and how much time you have and it gives a list of recipes plus possible recipes if you substitues food you have with what was orginally in the recipe

  179. Noreen says

    an app where you input what you have in your kitchen and how much time you have and it gives a list of recipes plus possible recipes if you substitues food you have with what was orginally in the recipe

    PLEASE delete my first comment I included my last name and I don’t like it posted

  181. Lisa Foster says

    I think the whole thing is really cool. Video’s are a great teaching took and the games sneak in nutrition health and math.

  187. Jessie C. says

    my ideal recipe/food app must have these features-
    basic ingredient search, shopping list included and alternative ingredients if can’t find listed ones.

  188. Jessie C. says

    I like the video part of Big Fork Little Fork food/recipe iPad app, I’m totally a visual person.

  193. Tabathia B says

    It would have quick substitutions if you didn’t have the available spice or if you didn’t want to add something due to your taste or allergies and would have at least 3 different substitutions
    tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com

  201. Don D says

    My ideal food app would be to link into my Grandma’s recipes and have those all accessible, but I know that isn’t feasible.

  202. Rachel says

    My ideal food/recipe app would include an engine that would search my favorite food blogs and allow me to put recipes from their blogs into a recipe box and would also let me create shopping lists just by choosing the recipes that I wanted.
    )

  205. Donna B. says

    My ideal food app would allow me to build my own virtual cookbook from the various recipes I have saved on food sites all over the internet, and would also allow me to select dishes for the week and build grocery lists from the ingredients needed.

    It would also adjust the recipe if, for example, the recipe says it serves 4 and I was having a dinner party for 10, I could change the servings to 10 and it would recalculate the recipe for me (ingredients, cooking time, temp if applicable).

  213. Annie H says

    I would want the app to make it easy to share/edit a recipe as well as sync and print. I love good food apps.

  215. Carl T Holscher says

    My ideal cooking/recipe app would be simple and minimal in interface. Two panes. One showing ingredients and the other showing the steps to make it. If you highlight the step, it would also highlight the ingredients involved in that step.

    Additionally, it would show nutrition information pulled from the web then stored locally so once you used an ingredient, or made a dish, it would store the nutrition locally but did not involve adding it all myself.

  216. Hatton Gravely says

    ideal recipe/food app: would include a place to add the ingredients that I have and come up with some suggested recipes so I can use what I have in my kitchen!

  225. Melissa M. says

    My ideal app would have the recipe and have grocery list, a wine pairing and sides or cheese and fruit pairing.

  226. Tara says

    I would like an app that would be able to pull up the recipe, and then put the ingredients into a shopping list. I would like the shopping list to be able to be edited though (in case I already had ingredients, wanted to sub something, etc.).

  227. Tara says

    I really like the video portion of the app. I have a little chef who would be very into watching those, and they’d be helpful for me too!

  230. Susan S says

    My ideal recipe app would have a place where I could automatically double or cut the recipe in half and would also let me mark off the items as I add them. Calories and time to walk off the calories are useful too!

  234. cwaltz says

    My ideal food app gives me the recipe, then creates a grocery list, then links me to coupons and creates a list as well as the cost of the items based on where I normally shop. It allows me to choose stores based on what’s available in my zip and then does the pricing so I could cost compare a recipe at Walmart vs. a recipe at Kroger in terms of cost.

    Christine
    dazed1821@aol.com

  238. tori lee says

    My ideal food app would be one that i could enter in any ingredient or food item I have, and it would tell me something yummy to make with it!

    t.leetreats(at)gmail(dot)com

  239. tori lee says

    I love the games that involve food. I think this would definitely encourage my picky eater to try new things!

    t.leetreats(at)gmail(dot)com

  245. Some Lucky Dog says

    My ideal app will give me a recipe to make when I tell it what I have in my pantry! It will also tell me the grams of fat, grams of fiber, and calories in the recipe!
    someluckydog at gmail dot com

  246. Some Lucky Dog says

    My favorite thing about the Big Fork Little Fork app would be learning about the USDA’s food pyramid. I know it’s very different from when I was a kid and it would be nice to learn it so I could talk about it with our grandson. He is at the stage where he’s wanting to help in the kitchen and is making simple foods on his own.
    someluckydog at gmail dot com

  250. Alex H. (Lexigurl) says

    I would love an ap with step by step directions, shopping lists and lots of pics!

  251. Alex H. (Lexigurl) says

    I love that the big fork little fork app helps to teach healthy eating habits to young children!

  268. Alesha says

    My ideal recipe app would be kid friendly, health wise, it would give substitutions, automatically double or half and make an eye catching presentation. :)

  269. Alesha says

    Big Fork Little Fork incorporates kids in the kitchen. Another way to spend quality time with your child(ren).

  285. Andrea Hatfield says

    Oops, here is my main entry:

    My ideal recipe app would have simple recipes that aren’t too expensive to make. It would include pictures and detailed instructions on how to prepare the foods. It would include a variety of recipes including ethnic foods and desserts. Thank you!

  291. Nicole Greene says

    My ideal recipe/food app would have a low calorie button so you could turn any regular recipe into a lower calorie dish.

  298. Nicole Hartmann says

    My ideal app would walk me thru each step – slowly and quite detailed.. since I am a beginner in the kitchen. :) When it comes to baking – blind fold me, I am up for the challenge. But cooking dinner – disaster every time. Luckily my fiance and son have been patient. Therefore, I need an app with video tutorials, pause button, audio, lots of pictures and measurements.. and maybe user gallery images to show that mine does not have to look as perfect as their images. I hate using cookbooks b/c I get SO frustrated seeing the beautiful creations! Is it ok if mine is a little lopsided? :)

  299. Nicole Hartmann says

    My favorite part of this app is basically – it sounds (and looks) JUST like the perfect app I explained in my mandatory entry – detailed, user friendly, easy to use – AND a shopping list! Sign me up..

  306. Ellen says

    I dont currently have anything with ‘aps’ so I guess if I had to think of something it would be that the aps are user friendly. If it was a recipe ap, that it be user friendly.

  310. Kristi C says

    My ideal app would let me put in ingredients I have on hand and then show quick and easy recipes.

  312. nan says

    i’d like one that you could punch in what ingredients you have and it would find the best match for you to make
    nannypanpan at sbcglobal.net

  322. Erin Miller says

    an app that decides what to make for dinner for a week and the ingredients i need at the store

  323. jules p says

    I am not too smart when it comes to the apps. But I would love one that filed all my recipes or helped with the grocery list!

    imisstx at comcast dot net

  324. jules p says

    This new app looks like it would help in preparing meals my whole family would love..even the picky ones! :)

  327. Deborah Kuehn says

    My ideal app would have recipes from thousands of cookbooks, and a link to where you could locate the ingredients by zip code.

  331. Adrianne says

    My ideal recipe would use ingredients that I can always easily have on hand. I often don’t try recipes because they call for some crazy stuff.

  332. Adrianne says

    My favorite thing about the Big Fork Little Fork app is the videos that show step by step instructions on how to teach kids, making cooking at home a positive experience for families and leaving fast food and take outs in the dust.

  338. Ravzie says

    I like the suggestion about asking open ended questions to spur conversation at the dinner table.

  346. Pauline M says

    My ideal app would be a recipe book that uses something like the digital photo frames that could just sit on your kitchen counter. It would have buttons for search (digitally of course) along with buttons you could set up based on your preferences, like a quick button for chicken, beef, etc. The app would create a shopping list for ingredients based on your preferences for the week and have the capacity to check off what is already available in your home.

  347. Pauline M says

    My favorite part of the app is the recipe videos for cooking. I’ll admit, this is not my forte’ but definately an area I’ve wanted to improve in my life.

  352. Barbara Palermo says

    My ideal app would let me put in ingredients I have on hand and then show quick and easy recipes.

  357. Linda says

    The shopping list would be a key feature for me. It would also be great if you could translate recipes into nutritional content.

  361. chrystal says

    I think we need a food app where you can input what meat you want to use and a few basic items and then it gives you a recipe. That would be awesome for us folks that live in BFE when we can’t just run to the store. Wouldn’t that be cool? LOL

  369. Toby says

    Sounds a little farfetched, but maybe an app where if for example I decide I want to make a dish with cheese and cherries, it would search for recipes that have those ingredients in them and I could choose to make one.

  370. Toby says

    I love the videos. There is nothing like ‘seeing it’ when trying something new and some of these are really cool.

  376. Stacy says

    My ideal app would go to the store and shop for me! LOL Since that’s not possible, my ideal app would give me nutritional information per serving size on all my favorite recipes.
    nrdunningATgmailDOTcom

  382. Pixie says

    My ideal recipe app would offer an account so I could save my favorites and also view them online, I would also be able to enter up to 5 key ingredients for a recipe search.

  389. Claire says

    It would be a search-by-ingredient app, where I could put in what we have in the house and it would come up with recipes using only those ingredients.

  396. John O'Brien says

    My ideal food app would allow me to browse a recipe, then link to my shop-at-home service (like ShopRite’s Shop at Home), buy the ingredients on-line, and then have them delivered. Basically would need to pass a grocery list to the home shopping site…

    Thanks!

  400. Jeff Davis says

    The ideal app would suggest meals based on whatever available ingredients I might have in my kitchen. Pictures of the final product are also a must.

  422. Teegan Briggs says

    My ideal food/recipe app would, off the top of my head, have these features:

    – Able to use when you’re not connected to the Internet. I had a big problem with this when I still had an iPod Touch * it broke recently :( *. The apps I tried out wouldn’t let me re-check the ingredient list while I was at the grocery store, for example, because I wasn’t connected to the net.

    – Able to download new recipes right into the app from thousands of recipes while connected to the Internet.

    – While online, able to add recipes to your favorites without necessarily needing to download it to your device right then.

    – Able to rate/review/comment on each recipe while online…maybe even while offline and have the choice to sync your opinions when you’re online. Maybe you want to comment on it and keep it to yourself.

    – Some sort of social aspect. Add friends, message, etc. So you can email people if you’ve got a question or want to congratulate them on an awesome recipe!

    – Oooh this one is important: easy portion adjustment. Smart tool that automatically adjusts the ingredient amounts when you input the amount of servings you need.

    – Nutritional information is calculated based on ingredients and listed with every recipe.

  423. Teegan Briggs says

    Since the app is geared toward kids (and parents) I think it’s really neat that it has nutrition related games! That’s definitely unique.

  426. Teegan Briggs says

    I liked your recipe! And I mean that as a verb and literally…those brownies look AMAZING. Yea, you’d better bet those are being served at my house soon!

    Let the giveaway gods be with me!

  432. Annie-Savor This Moment says

    Since I don’t have a smart phone or ipad, I’m just going to tell you what I’d love to see in a cooking app:

    Downloadable recipes from any cooking website.

    Making a grocery list from selected recipes.

    Getting recipe suggestions after uploading grocery items already in the pantry/fridge/freezer.

  444. randy arstein says

    Recipes should be able to upload my pistures of the recipes i made, and have an interactive shopping list that links coupons to the items i need to purchase.

  450. Lynn says

    My ideal app would be adjustable for portion sizes, contain recipes for quick meals when I’m short on time and not require an internet connection so when I take my iPod to the grocery store, I could still look up what ingredients I need.

  455. Margaret Smith says

    “Liked” (really loved) your Rocky Road recipe. Thanks again.
    rickpeggysmith(at)aol(dot)com

  462. trishden says

    Hello, my ideal recipe/food app would give you the ability to punch in a few ingredience and give you several recipes to make out of those few ingrediences. Am I asking too much? Thanks for a great giveaway!

  463. trishden says

    My favorite thing of the Big Fork Little Fork app is the tutorial videos, my kids would say the games. Thanks!

  474. Shelly says

    I absolutely love the bright colors and big pictures; it makes it so easy to see what you are looking for and what the actual meal would look like. I also appreciate the nutritional information as I do try to feed my family a balanced meal. My son likes to help cook meals with me, and I think this would be a tool he would be able to use easily. Thank you!

  480. Carolyn N says

    My ideal app would be one that is easy to use, for any age, even my teenagers that lose interest quickly. But they have to learn to cook! Maybe even one that guides the user depending on what mood they have – spicy? sweet?

  484. susan says

    My ideal app would be the ultimate menu planner, meal shopping organizer, and practically cook it for me too!

  490. Nancy Meyer says

    It would give shopping lists and really detailed instructions and photos!

  491. Suzanne Lewis says

    My ideal food and recipe app would have many low carb options.

    txhottie_86 at yahoo dot com

  494. Crystal F says

    It would be an app. with quick simple recipes. We’re hardly ever home so we need to get our meal together quickly. I would also like to be able to search for recipes with ingredients that I have on hand. thank you!

  498. Kathy McCrae says

    My ideal recipe/food app would include recipes that have veg/fruits that are in season at the time of search.

  508. ohkeeka says

    I’m on Weight Watchers, so I’d love a cooking app that helped me calculate PointsPlus for recipes–or really, just anything with comprehensive nutrition info would be great.

  510. ohkeeka says

    My favorite thing about the app is the ability to get tips about how to handle/prepare specific fruits and vegetables.

  520. M.A. Gustafson says

    My ideal recipe/food ap would be one that utilized the fresh herbs & vegetables grown in my garden.

  523. Roxy says

    my ideal food app would be able to list a whole bunch of random ingredients (like what might be left in my fridge) and have recipes presented in order of least amount of extra ingredients needed for the dish.

  524. Kammi says

    I am a fan of My Wooden Spoon and Kraft on Facebook. I shared the contest with over 300 friends on Facebook.

  541. Charlotte LeBlanc says

    My favorite recipe/food app would be one that could use everyday food items around the house you can use. No fancy stuff I can’t find in my store. It would show me recipes for what I have on hand. It would also have apps for every purpose, like breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, quick meals, and last minute tips.

  549. Hellen Araujo says

    My ideal food App would be an App that converts any recipe into a healthy version of that recipe. So for example: If I looked up for a taco recipe , the app would convert into healthy ingredients which would be turkey ground meet, fat free shredded cheese, fat free sour cream, and etc… Eating healthy doesn’t mean that I have to stop eating what I like!

  558. Sherese Payne says

    My ideal recipe/ food app would allow you to save recipes in a card format and save in editable folders to make it your own… Sort of like a recipe Rolodex. :)

  559. Celena Metzger says

    It would be very simple to follow with recipes that are very quick and eay to prepare since I’m very busy most of the time!

  566. Karen M says

    My ideal food app would be for a recipe with the total cost for all ingredients and what store would be the cheapest for everything. Thanks.

  567. Natalie J. Vandenberghe says

    I’ve never used an “app” so I don’t know how to answer the mandatory question; however, we do have an iPad, and, I refer to recipes online almost on a daily basis, so I know this is something I would use. Thanks for the giveaway.

  568. Natalie J. Vandenberghe says

    I’m anticipating that what I like best will be “You and your kids will have a blast in the kitchen…” especially with my 12-year-old son, whom I don’t always connect the best with–although when we’re in the kitchen making food we both enjoy, everything is great. and, btw, it will be him who teaches me about “apps”

  569. Christie R says

    My ideal food app would be something that lets me choose meals for the day and adds up the calories, nutrition content for the day. I’d like to be able to select how many calories I want to consume for the day (1200-1500) and then it would list the recipes for the day that I can choose from.

  570. Christie R says

    The best part of the Big Fork Little Fork food/recipe iPad app is the quick tips on produce! I love how it tells you about the different varieties of peaches and how to pick out the best pineapple. Very cool tips with great pictures. :)

    januarywins(at)hotmail(dot)com

  586. elizabeth p says

    I would like an app that will allow me to customize recipes. Like if someone in my family doesn’t eat beets that are called for in a recipe it can tell me some other things that will work well in that dish.

  591. Debbie C says

    My ideal food app would be capable of calculating the ingredient amounts according to how many servings of a recipe you want to make.

    dchrisg3[at]gmail[dot]com

  593. Kimberly Yerton says

    My ideal food app would be one that shows easy recipes and where to buy the items for the recipe with coupons or on sale to save money.

  597. Susan E. says

    My ideal recipe app would be one that has a database of nutritional values, allows me to create a shopping list and allows custom categories, such as gluten-free, low-fat, etc.

    dogsrock at insightbb dot com

  598. Kimberly Yerton says

    With today’s fast food/drive thru lifestlye, Big Fork, Little Fork is a great app for parents and children to spend time together while learning healthy habits to last a lifetime. What a great idea!

  599. Susan E. says

    My favorite thing about the Big Fork Little Fork app is the large photos and the videos.

    dogsrock at insightbb dot com

  608. meredith says

    my ideal food app would one where you could create/sort recipes by what ingredients you have in the fridge/pantry!

  613. patrick says

    i would want an app that gives me interesting ideas for shopping lists for food/recipes for the week not just 1 meal

  623. Joseph says

    Fast, easy and simple recipes that everyone in the family could cook. Especially for those of us that have 2 thumbs and cant cook anything without burning it.

  627. katklaw777 says

    My idea of a great food app would be one that lets you list ingredients you have on hand and it gives you a recipe. Also you would be able to store your pantry so it knows what you have and creates a shopping list for what you need to complete the recipe.
    Great giveaway, thanks!

  628. katklaw777 says

    What is your favorite thing about this Big Fork Little Fork food/recipe iPad app?

    I like that it has EASY recipes with nutritional information..I have to have low sodium recipes so the nutritional information is important to me.

  629. Janice Crespo says

    My ideal application would let me pick the recipes that I want to prepare – go through the food I have on my shelves and then create my shopping list. I don’t want to enter massive amounts of information for my inventory – just scan the barcode :) Sound do-able? LOL
    janicecrespo@gmail.com

  633. deana c says

    My ideal recipe app would allow me to input the ingredients I have and give me recipes to choose from!

  649. James Nickerson says

    My ideal food app would have to be one of those that shows recipes for leftovers or easy recipes of 5 ingred. or less. I’m a bad cook and need easy stuff!

  661. Kris says

    My ideal food app would have video content showing how to make the recipes plus links to local retailers where I can buy the ingredients. Also links to multiple web sites to make searching for recipes easier.

  662. Terri says

    My ideal food app would let me store all my favorite recipes, choose the ones I wanted to fix for the week and compile my grocery list. Thanks for the contest.

  663. Valeen says

    It would have easy and quick recipes, with a list of ingredients for the recipes. along with the nutritional value!

  664. Oliver says

    I’d like to see an app which allows you to click on individual ingredients in a recipe and see a list of possible substitutions (thereby making it easier for those of us who cook for allergic family members). It would also be nice to have a count of how many times I’ve made any given recipe, so that I can do more effective comparison-shopping for the ‘greatest hits’ ingredients.

  670. Peter G says

    Complete holiday meals from soup to desert from different countries. I have many friends from around the world that come for holidays and I would love to have their holiday meals at my finger tips.

  673. David Del Rio says

    My ideal recipe app would have a small list of instructions with ingredients and a link to a video because sometimes I visually need to see that action done.

  674. David D says

    the best thing about Big Fork Little Fork food/recipe iPad app is the nutrional value on the app and the fact that u can choose to email yourself or any other of the options

  684. Ivan says

    Well, I`m far from prof`s, but I`d really like to have some app that would give me opportunity to when I a few groceries that I currently have, that app shows which meals I can make from those groceries (also it can be sorted by speed of time that is needed for preparing that meal, or according some other rules, like: spicy, exotic, simple, romantic…)
    Also, there can be app for connecting with all online followers of some recipe blog for asking instant help in making some meal, or idea for preparing some unique meal!

  685. Ivan says

    I must be honest! I never used your app, so I would lie if I say that something is wrong or good with it! Sorry :) I primarily entered here because of giveaway! ( I know, I`m so bad person!) Even if I do not win that Ipad, I would be happy to know if my previous comment was helpful! :)

  687. Ivan says

    I have liked all the facebook pages you asked it, and are follower of all twitter`s you named it, but I will leave just this one comment! I know that you sad that I must leave every comment separably, and that this reduces me a chance to win, but I will believe in faith and my chance to win even with reduced chances! :D

  689. Ivan says

    If I`m too odd, or boring just disqualify me! :) I would not be too disappointed, and I would be happy to look around a little bit more around and find some interesting recipe! Actually, maybe I will post few recipes if I can?!

  698. trishden says

    I liked your recipe again today, I wasn’t sure what to do, now I know it’s specifically your Rocky Road Brownies. I will be voting daily for these. Good Luck. Thanks!

  702. julieh says

    My ideal recipe/food app would have easy to use search functions for recipes with step by step instructions/ingredient list, as well as the nutrional information.

  703. julieh says

    My favorite thing about the Big Fork/Little Fork apps are the tips and indepth articles, and the recipes!

  708. Paula Hafner says

    It wold have the ability to save recipes, to search by ingredients, to highlight favorites, have a shopping list, and have a way to edit then save recipes.

  711. mistysunrise says

    ideal recipe/food app would be some different recipes for Chinese food. I cant get enough of it!

    itsjustme62613 at gmail.com

  719. ScottS says

    My ideal recipe app would allow my to check off ingredients I already added so I would not double up on them.

  723. Erin E says

    My ideal app would be easy to find new recipes, easy to organize tested/untested recipes in customizable categories, and also be visually appealing. Thank you for the lovely giveaway.
    sewmuchstuff at ymail dot com

  724. Erin E says

    My favorite thing about the app is that it has family friendly games to get kids excited about eating healthy.
    sewmuchstuff at ymail dot com

  727. Jessica A says

    My ideal app would be one that I could input all the ingredients i have in my pantry and it could tell me all the different things i could make.
    imjessica(at)mail(dot)com

  738. joni says

    I like follow along videos—that’d be cool. Sometimes you just need to see how things are done.
    dolniaks[at]consolidated[dot]net

  739. Chrysa says

    My ideal app would give me various ways of searching for recipes including:
    by recipe category (entree, appetizer, dessert, etc.)
    by type of cuisine
    by ingredient list – so I could type in a few things I have on hand and find a recipe using them

  741. Donnie Balzeigler says

    I would like an app which could take recipes and extrapolate for single serving or multiple serving meals.
    (I liked Kraft Foods on facebook)

  745. Auriette says

    My idea food app would allow me to plug in the contents of my cupboard and refrigerator and tell me what I can make with what I have. It would let me log my grocery purchases, and subtract what I use, so I can easily re-stock. And if I could store prices as I visit different stores, so I can more easily comparison shop, that would make it even better.

  746. Danielle says

    it would be easy to follow for novice cooks and it would allow me to change the recipe based on portion size. i cook for myself and a lot of recipes are for families and that causes problems (and math…). No fun!

  751. Danielle says

    i love the stuff for picky eaters. i cook for my nephew and he is the pickiest 6 year old on the planet!

  755. Kerrie Mayans says

    My ideal app would have you input the ingrediants you have around the house and it would scan its database and suggest recipies to you that would work with what you have on hand.

  757. Jay F. says

    I would love an app that would allow me to take a picture of the inside of my pantry and figure out the ingredients I have, then recommend meals. Sounds cool, right?

  762. Nadine L says

    My ideal recipe app would allow me to categorize recipes how I want them. Like we are not big breakfast eaters, we grab an english muffin or a piece of toast. But we love French Toast Casserole for Dinner, so I would like to add the French Toast to the dinner category instead of Breakfast

  774. Tiffany says

    I would love to be able to input ingredients that I have on hand and it come up with recipes I could make. Thanks for this AWESOME giveaway!

  775. Tiffany says

    I love that this app helps with picky appetites. My daughter hates cheese, tomatoes, beans and several other foods. It’s hard for me to find recipes she likes.

  780. Marie says

    Ideal recipe app would have a pic of the finished dish. List of ingredients. Simple instructions on how to prepare, mix and cook dish. Serving and nutritional info.

  790. Diane Baum says

    My ideal would be to use common ingredients you have around your house or ones you could buy easily at the local chain grocery stores, but would be healthy, not tons of tran-fats and yet have a little sophitication to them.

  793. Kellie Conklin says

    I would love it to include different variations of the same meal as well as quick meals! Also, a cookie section would be awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!

  797. tallcapp says

    My ideal recipe app would have the following:

    Easy to find recipes by lookup either by main ingredient or style.
    Easy to follow recipe with picture of finished dish.
    Create a shopping list for this dish. (or a master shopping list for several dishes)

  798. S Carter says

    My ideal recipe app would have simple recipes with pictures but it would also give accurate calories and even weight watchers point values.

  801. Donna B. says

    I like that this app helps with finding tasty recipes for picky appetites. There’s a few things we don’t eat (like beans) so I don’t need recipes that feature them.

  814. Rosey says

    My ideal recipe ap would allow you to plug-in ingredients you’d like to have recipes for. It would create automatic grocery lists (that you could easily alter at will to print). And it would offer substitutions if you typed in the name of an ingredient.

  816. Rosey says

    My favorite thing about the featured ap is that it offers preparation tips (like how to cut something and make it look it pretty).

  823. Roxanne Ellis Raymond says

    I would like an app that lets me look up the recipes by the ingredients I have – ex. someone gave me red wine but I dont drink it, so Id like to easily find recipes that use it while out shopping so I can pick up the other ingredients

  824. Roxanne Ellis Raymond says

    I love that its focused on kids, great for my grandkids to learn the best way to eat while making it seem fun

  833. kathy says

    I would like one that I could type in some ingredients that I want to use and it comes up with a recipe that uses those ingredients

  834. Heather W says

    Others have said it, but I’d like to type in ingredients I have around the house and have them show me recipes I can make
    Lovefool827 (at) yahoo (dotcom)

  845. Charlene Kuser says

    Yummy ! I liked your recipe on Facebook and you better believe i will try it.
    (Charlene Kuser)

  848. Jill L says

    An app that would also gauge my preschooler’s fickle mood!!! Since that probably hasn’t been developed yet, one that will give a good variety for little ones.

  851. R Hicks says

    my fav thing about big fork little fork is it has kid friendly foods
