Food might not be the only thing on your mind, so what about drinks? Cocktail Flow Tablet is here to help you find, browse and make drink and cocktail recipes. Now you can impress friends and family members with not only your food crafted from one of the previous apps, but also your ability to make fantastic cocktails.
Cocktail Flow Tablet even allows you to select great recipes that don?t require you to go shopping for specific ingredients. The app can pull up recipes specific to the ingredients you already have in your bar, so it?s fantastic for last-minute additions and changes too!

Taking your Android tablet into the kitchen never seemed more promising, eh? Of course, don?t forget the browser that allows you to easily explore any cooking website even if they don?t have a native app or watch videos on sites like YouTube for step-by-step, visual cooking instructions.
Certainly, if you?re a UK user, you can grab the BBC iPlayer app and catchup on your favourite cookery shows, all while making the food yourself.
If you?re using your tablet in the kitchen and have a killer recommendation, be sure to share it in the comments.
