The Photo Cookbook [iPad]

a photographic cookbook on iPad!? lushly photographed food and ingredients to make up 60 recipes step-by-step from across the spectrum (meat, fish, vegetarian and dessert). loads of extra photos for the small detailed bits. their use of styled food photos, typography and a visual presentation sense better than most food related apps i have seen makes this a winner. the recipes they selected are tempting!

abitare.it

a graphical and interactive compilation of the known architect and designer Renzo Piano as framed from the lense of Abitare (the italian architecture magazine). the experience on the iPad is actually very elegant and diverse. it offers a number of different methods to interact with the content, multiple swipe variations, click and touch, zoom, and traditional scrolling. the imagery and content speaks for itself. This foray into the digital realm and specifically for iPad for a classical publication like Abitare is inspiring. expensive (£9 or $11) but well worth it.

very elegantly presented book app that tells the Alice story in an interactive manner. you affect aspects of the story narrative by tilting your iPad in various directions. the illustrations, sound design and overall construction of this interactive book is just stunning! i have seen this first hand and def suggest it to anyone who wants to show off, but also would enjoy reading the alice in wonderland story all over again (adults and kids)!
