As much as it pains me to say this, smartphone apps and the internet in general are unquestionably eating into (excuse the pun) the cookbook market. I still get a lot of enjoyment flicking through the Silver Spoon for inspiration but books like this are bloody heavy, take up a lot of space and make it comparatively harder to bookmark, refer back to and ultimately find what you're looking for.
With that in mind it's not surprising that one of the most popular categories in app development is indeed 'cookery'. The only problem with recipe and food related apps is the fact that you don't always want Moroccan Chicken Rub fingers swiping across your shiny touchscreen.
To combat this terrifying dilemma the geeks over at Random House Group and Ebury Publishing have come up with a nifty solution – the 'My Kitchen Table' app.
Using what it calls ‘pioneering Touch Free technology’ you can swipe through a recipe - you guessed it - without touching your screen.
It's free to download but only works on fourth-generation devices. Stop hating and upgrade...
See the app in action below (warning, the video is mildly annoying but Antonio Carluccio features so that's ok):
