A lot of us have spent most of our time at home since the community quarantine stared. Some businesses operate with a skeleton workforce, while others continue with a work-from-home setup. We are gradually adjusting to the “new normal”.
For basic necessities like food, we find delivery and pick up services useful. But there are moments when we crave home-cooked meals, thus the spike in recipe searches online.
For those who like to prepare and cook their meals or hone their cooking or baking skills, there are mobile apps that provide a plethora of options for food recipes — easy-to-cook and food upgrade. Here are some of the popular free recipe mobile apps offered by both iPhone and Android.
