After returning from a recent trip from Melbourne, one thing you really notice is the popularity of the iPhone and its associated applications.
iPhone and cooking were always a big possibility for chefs and there come no bigger celebrity chefs than Jamie Oliver – who has recently jumped onto the iPhone application bandwagon.
You can watch your favourite chef (OK he’s not everyone’s favourite) give you video tips on how to cut, cook and step by step videos on the recipes that you are watching.
At just under 5 pounds and Malaysia not being completely iPhoned-up yet, it may not quite take off like in perhaps the UK or other western countries.
What do you think?
Cook along with Jamie on your mobile phone
Aspiring chefs can now cook alongside Jamie Oliver with new mobile phone software.

You can download a video of the TV chef explaining how to prepare a meal – even the best way to chop vegetables – before he talks you through every step of the recipe.
The £4.99 software for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch, called Jamie’s 20-Minute Meals, includes 50 recipes, all of which Oliver claims can be cooked within 20 minutes. Recipes include farfalle Genovese, parmesan-crusted plaice and salad, asparagus and pesto risotto and Eton mess with toasted almonds.
Oliver, right, said: “These days people are so busy but they’re rarely without their phones. When I set to work on this iPhone app, I wanted to make sure I gave people everything they would need to help them create great-tasting meals.”
Oliver also hopes the software will help reduce the number of takeaways people order: “Each recipe can be cooked in around 20 minutes – that’s less time than it would take to order and receive a delivered meal and yours will taste better.”

Preparing a meal is always better than take away. I’m cooking here all the time, it’s healthier and cheaper.
One of the unlucky thing in Malaysia is sometimes the ingredients for western cuisine are hard to find (or too expensive), not to mention I was living in Ipoh, not big cities like KL. Tesco is my last defend.
But it’s great too, it forced you to have a lil bit of creativity to replace some of the ingredients.
