Gnome Recipes
Cutting recipes out of magazines and attaching them to the fridge is a thing of the past. Today, Gnome Recipes is your friendly kitchen helper.
Satirist Ephraim Kishon once confessed "food is my favorite food." Our earliest ancestors might have focused more on food than on enjoyment because of the considerable amount of time it took to procure it, but today's picture is different. In a fast food age, many people treat cooking, baking, and enjoyment of the results as pleasant leisure activities. Numerous specialized magazines bear witness to this, and many print publications feature a recipe page.
In the long run, this abundance of sources results in loose recipe clippings that threaten to fall out of your cookbook, often exceeding the book's thickness. If you make room for a laptop in the kitchen, the new Gnome Recipes program can save you not only from this avalanche of recipe clippings but a huge amount of time, from writing shopping lists to setting the timer to converting portions [1].
