My Dream App: Next Generation: A UI update on the Cookbook software

Hey everyone! Cookbook has been progressing from behind closed doors for the last few months and we have some absolutely delicious material for you to check out. Before we get to that, though, we'd like to officially announce that Wolfgang Bartelme, the creator of the TextMate and iSnip icons, has been working closely with us on the application's design and user experience. In case you're wondering (and you're probably not) iSnip was actually a project that I was involved in before AppZapper and it was a freeware semi-competitor to John's iClip.

It's worth noting that we have made same pretty drastic strides since the initial mockups by Michael. As you know from the last post, we're going with a 3 column interface that will promote visual browsing. Likewise, the theme of the recipe view will actually change based on the kind of recipe you're viewing. We've expanded this thinking to include a unique style for the app itself... which we feel encompasses a kitchen atmosphere very nicely while still proving to be neutral enough for the themed recipe view to not look out of place."
