Cooking Apps: Cook According To What's In Your Fridge

If there's one area where the development of iPhone apps is doing well, it's definitely in the field of cooking. There are a ton on the market now and over 20 that we're smitten with. Even though we hate to see cookbooks pushed aside, we can't help but love apps that help us figure out how to do things like truss a chicken or use leftover ingredients with the push of a button.

Finding a dish to make that uses what you have on hand is always a challenge for the novice cook -- but not any more (the iPhone saves us once again).
