Visual flowchart recipes

The problem I find with traditional recipes is that it is easy to lose your place, I sometimes have to read it multiple times and in general find them hard to follow.

So, I created an iPad app that organizes recipes into visual flowcharts where;

• you can see each step chronologically,
• Steps are color coded so you can easily distinguish food preparation and cooking steps,
• You can see how long each step should take,
• You click on a step to see more details and you can even set a timer to keep you on track,
• The entire recipe is also included in a text format,
• Swimlanes group tasks by cooking stations (eg: prep, stove, oven etc...),
• You can click on a step to record where you are up to in the recipe.

Here is an example flowchart: http://ift.tt/20YDvem Here is an image of the app with an overlay: http://ift.tt/1HV40FV And if you like the idea, you can find the app here: http://ift.tt/20YDtmP

I called it Visual Recipes - it is free, so download it and let me know what you think!
