So I’ve gotten in the habit of cooking with my iPod while making dinners for Jenn and myself. My current approach is sadly not very graceful:

1. SFTP to iPod
2. Copy recipe into a new text file in my home directory
3. On the ipod, open the Terminal.app
4. and use “more” to open the text file in the Terminal

So not graceful at all - but still very awesome. Jenn always seems to make a point to call me a Dork while I cook in this manner. So I have created my first public consumption iPhone/iPod Touch application: DorkBook

It’s rather basic at the moment, and the general procedure for putting a recipe on my iPod remains the same, I just no longer have to view it in more or vi.

Launching the program will show you all the recipes stored in ~/Media/Recipes, and touching a recipe will display the recipe complete with ingredients and instructions. (With a nice sliding transition between screens that I worked all night on)

I’ll put a download link up later, and hopefully will get the application added to the infamous Installer.app that just about every jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch is certain to have.
