New Guardian Feast App

The Guardian have just released a companion app for their Feast supplement (weekly magazine that comes with the Saturday paper). https://www.theguardian.com/help/insideguardian/2024/apr/17/introducing-the-feast-app

 

I've only had a brief look at it but it seems really nicely designed and has a few handy features like the ability to save notes for recipes and a cook along feature that keeps the screen live with easy step by step instructions.  It also has in-app conversions for US measurements/temperatures if you're so inclined.

 

The main draw for me is the recipe quality is really good, I love sitting down with my Saturday morning coffee and picking out a dish or two for our weekly menu.

 

It's subscription based but at £29 a year it feels a decent deal.  Six month free trial too.

 

Example recipe which we had for dinner tonight was the chipotle chicken and black-eyed bean salsa from here

It is not yet available for android.  They list monthly North American prices for this as $3.99 for US subscribers and $2.99 for Canadian subscribers.  I have a feeling those prices should be reversed?  In any event, I'll be giving it a test drive when they come out with the android version.

I see only a 14-day free trial.

 

It looks like there's free access for certain supporters of the Guardian (money level, I imagine).

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

I downloaded the app. The Apple App Store says there’s a 3-month free trial then either $38.99/year or $3.99/month and that’s what I was offered. Not sure if there are better offers floating about. 
I haven’t entered my payment info so I can’t see any recipe details.
