If you want to consolidate the recipes you get from different sites and even get a step-by-step guide, the Zest app for the iPad might be worth your time. The app lets you search and import recipes from different recipe sites and organize these according to tags, ingredients or categories. It collects the photos from the sites you took them from but you can also add your own photos of the dish once you’ve done preparing them.

You can even edit the recipes to swap ingredients or add or take out any specific items. Zest will walk you through the entire cooking process, complete with a built-in timer that tells you when to flip or rotate a dish. You can even share the recipes with other people.
