A “foodie” is a person who loves and enjoys everything to do with food – be it eating it or making it. You may not be a trained chef of a professional bartender, but with the help of these ten apps, you’ll be able to develop your kitchen skills, wine understanding and more.

Thyme  / 

To quote the app’s developers: “IT ONLY DOES ONE THING, BUT DOES IT VERY WELL.” Thyme is a cooking stopwatch, with a twist – it offers a visual representation of your stove and oven, with how much time has passed or remains per section. You can time each burner while baking, and know exactly what’s going on.

Launch the app, take a picture of the menu and the app will give you information about each wine, including prices, ratings and even which food goes best with it.
