Do you love taking pictures of your food? Do you peruse food photography sites at work, scheming about the delectable culinary treat you’ll cook up when you get home? Do you live to eat, rather than eat to live?
If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, then Evernote Food is for you.
After trying out Evernote Food, you’ll understand why I got so hungry exploring this app and writing this article that I had to stop and take my lunch break.
Evernote Food is a product by Evernote, a company best known for its sophisticated note-taking and information-storing software. This food app will appeal to those who want to find culinary inspiration, exchange recipes, and remember their best meals for years to come.
Evernote Food’s “My Meals” section is a crucial feature of the app. My Meals allows you to take snapshots of memorable repasts, store them chronologically (with notes), and add the restaurant location if necessary.
I was impressed to find that even when I uploaded a photo of the best pad thai I had on my recent trip to Thailand, it had the name and location of the (by no means fancy or well-established) Bangkok restaurant that I got it from. I added photos of meals that I’ve eaten all over Seattle, and Evernote Food always had the restaurants I’d eaten at in its database. Using my phone’s camera roll, it didn’t take me long to put together a scrolling slideshow of my best recent meals.
While My Meals is a solid tool for assembling a picturesque culinary scrapbook, the features that gourmets should really check out are “My Cookbook” and “Explore Recipes.” Using the Explore Recipes tab, it is extremely quick and easy to find and then save (via the app’s “snip” feature) a high-quality recipe for any food you can think of into My Cookbook.
Explore Recipes pulls creative content from all over the Internet and has a search tool that allows you to narrow down your results. Recipes saved in Evernote Food’s local cookbook using the snip tool are stored across devices, and added to your larger Evernote account if you have one.
Evernote Food is a reliable tool, most useful for storing, organizing, and documenting the food that is simply too good to forget about. The app is free for iPhone and Android. Shoot, I’m getting hungry again.
