Now you can impress friends and family members with not only your food crafted from one of the previous apps, but also your ability to make fantastic cocktails.

Taking your Android tablet into the kitchen never seemed more promising, eh? Of course, don?t forget the browser that allows you to easily explore any cooking website even if they don?t have a native app or watch videos on sites like YouTube for step-by-step, visual cooking instructions.
Certainly, if you?re a UK user, you can grab the BBC iPlayer app and catchup on your favourite cookery shows, all while making the food yourself.
If you?re using your tablet in the kitchen and have a killer recommendation, be sure to share it in the comments.
