Ratio App for iPhone

After I wrote my book Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking, I and a colleague built a ratio calculator for iPhones that allows you to cook without recipes. For doughs, batters, custards, sauces, stocks and more, simply plug in the amount of one ingredient and the amounts of the other ingredients are instantly calculated. It's also a handy reference for dozens of our most common preparations. ($4.99 in the app store.)

Collaborate

I’ve collaborated on a dozen books, including cookbooks, but also a memoir. I’ve written many nonfiction books and and two works of fiction. If you'd like to collaborate on a project, pleasecontact my agent, Gail Hochman, [email protected], at Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents, Inc.
