There are two kinds of people in this world, those who can cook and those who cannot. Today we try to help both groups – by giving the expert cooks a way to hone their skills, and the novices a chance to learn cooking and surprise their peers or spouses (wink!). But before we proceed, there is a prerequisite – you must own an Android phone – if you do, then get ready to review the ten best apps to learn cooking recipes. In case you do not have one, you can always buy an Android smartphone from Lava Mobiles. It certainly helps to have a mobile phone with large screen when you are working in the kitchen and intend to use it as your personal cookbook – Lava offers phones with 5” inch and 5.5” inch screen sizes to enhance readability.
