2940043887948.pngGiada's Daily Bite - a new free app by Random House Digital, Inc. featuring recipes and tips from Food Network host Giada De Laurentiis - has been an eye-opener for me. My wife and I have been trying to eat healthier for the past couple of months. This has been accomplished largely by cooking more and eating fresher food. However, I’m not a cookbook guy – for some reason, they have never caught my attention. Thankfully, having Giada’s Daily Bite on my NOOK Tablet has changed my view. The videos are helpful and make good sense to follow, so that’s a plus. However, the recipes and general tips on good and healthy cooking are the best part, at least for me.

 

The first time I watched the video bite where Giada gives several quick and easy directions for healthy cooking options for busy people, I was hooked. This app is amazing and has really whet my appetite for her new cookbook, Weeknights with Giada: Quick and Simple Recipes to Revamp Dinner. One short video showed me the resourceful tip of buying pre-cooked brown rice instead of taking the hit on the longer preparation time involved with the healthy alternative to white rice. I can only imagine what I’ll learn in the coming days from the app, and I plan on ordering the book today! Giada’s Daily Bite is an amazing app – if you are interested in cooking, healthy eating or just learning a new twist on some old culinary favorites grab it today and learn something new.

I love love love Giada! Thank you for this app! There is one fatal flaw...the screen goes dark. This is a recipe app, and should stay lit just like the Epicurious app. I love that I can bring my NookColor to the kitchen and follow a recipe. I don't love that the screen times out and goes dark..I hate having to touch the screen with messy food fingers to keep it lit. That is my experience with recipes from the web, and now this app does it also. Epicuious does not time out, and is a great way to save paper and keep the app up while I am working through the recipe. Can we get an updated version that does not time out? Seems only logical....

Hi RachieJ,

Thanks for your feedback. We'll pass this along to the app developers.
