There are hundreds of cooking apps… but with these 10 you won’t fail. Esquire’s word.
Your personal trainer on your mobile, the seven-minute daily routine that will sculpt you like Adonis, the definitive exercise without leaving home (and without equipment, watch out), legs like Ionian columns, tablet in thirty days… The app store, that virtual Teletienda in which we do bite, each time it looks more like the dream version of yourself.
Face it, you’re not going to define abs by doing three jumping jacks every morning even if Hulk Hogan‘s screams come out of your phone’s speaker. It is much more practical, and with more obvious results on your torso, to change categories and give yourself to the kitchen. You will not lose calories but gain happiness, in the happiness curve. And don’t forget that the stomach is also conquered…
And the world of cooking apps has also grown like wildfire, surely because of these troubled times we live in where we no longer know if we can go to that trendy restaurant, if not, if yes, but only on the terrace, if this week we can use the bar but the next we can’t even go to the bathroom… Anyway, we’ve reached a point where today even the least inspired makes a gourmet bread with 7 bowls of cereal and sourdough (which gave birth to ) in your own oven. But we will have to take advantage of the coverage and give those applications that promise to turn you into Adriá in a matter of three clicks a chance. We have done it, and the truth is that there are some that are not bad at all.
