Cooking? There's an App for That...

Converting measurements, substituting ingredients, figuring out flavor profiles, or just get hands-on advice from local chefs. How your smartphone & tablet computer may become as indispensable as a good recipe.

A lot of chefs are taking a high tech approach, coming out with cooking apps for smartphones and tablets that take recipes to a whole new level.

We talk with three kitchen pros about where they turn to for help, and the 'extras' that can make apps a perfect fit for use in the kitchen and supermarket.
