D and I are joining the iPhone family this Friday! (Well, so long as our shipment of two iPhone 4s's arrives, anyway.) I am beyond excited, though I am a little worried that I'm going to become one of those people that instagrams the heck out of everything. Particularly since using instagram is so 2009. Oh well. Regardless, I am rather excited about the new iPhone's camera capabilities, especially since the camera in my Blackberry is So. Very. Sad.
I am also quite excited about diving headfirst into the world of apps. And of course, there are plenty of food and cooking-related apps to check out. Here are the top five that intrigue me the most, including their descriptions from the iTunes App Store.
1. Epicurious - FREE
"Search more than 30,000 delicious, professionally created recipes from Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Self, and renowned chefs and cookbooks.

2. Locavore - FREE
