Contact Forks Plant Based Recipes Support

by Squire-Jackson

I am a believer in the information I learned from the documentary and thought this app would provide tasty recipes using wholesome foods. I was attracted to the apps recipes with plant based ingredients and shopping list being in one central location. With my busy schedule, this feature makes it really convenient. I rely very heavily on recipes to minimize the thinking I have to put into providing a variety of meals for my family (i.e., I would cook the same thing all the time). I also enjoyed reading the success stories of how people turned their health around by following the FOK eating regimen.

I’ve dried about 5 or so recipes and have yet to taste one that I plan to cook again. I’m wondering if these recipes were tested before they were published.

The selection of dishes is interesting but the recipes were not carefully checked. Here’s a specific example that’s typical: the Indian Spiced Cauliflower and Potato Casserole does not indicate whether the cooking is done covered or uncovered. What’s worse is that if you are working from the printed copy it is missing key parts of the recipe as viewed in the app. Try it - look at the ingredients list in the app and compare that with the printout.

Cook’s Illustrated used to have a section in its magazine where they reviewed cookbooks and vetted the recipes to make sure they worked, had all the necessary instructions and were precise but not too complex for a newcomer to cooking techniques. They’d probably give this app a fail.

On the other hand, the recipes in the Forks Over Knives magazine are better done as are the ones in Darshana Thacker’s book. Buy those and ignore this app.

All the recipes we have tried have been great, but why in the world wouldn’t you make an app for the iPad able to rotate to landscape? This is a device often used by many people in the kitchen to view their recipes while they cook, and is quite often mounted to the Apple Keyboard, which can only be used in landscape mode. So to use this app, I have to take my keyboard off of the iPad and let it just rest against something on the counter? It is 2022, and a paid for app should not have such a ridiculous limitation. Other than that, love every other aspect of the app. The grocery list is great, being able to adjust the number of servings so the grocery list is accurate, etc. have been fantastic.
