“Handsome man, steak and Italy. Do you need something else? But there are nuances here. Who is married? So let's be serious. Steak only. " This is approximately how Nika Belotserkovskaya's story about each dish begins. No matter how you feel about the main culinary blogger of all Russia, she cannot be denied having her own easily recognizable style. And Belonica is fluent in the art of testing and broadcasting joie de vivre. The app is worth downloading for that. True, on Android, it works intermittently.

The new application from "Azbuka Vkusa" is both a collection of recipes and a mobile card of a regular customer. With its help it is easy to accumulate bonuses for all purchases in the chain's supermarkets. They can be spent not only on groceries, but also on other rewards like wine tastings or a subscription for a freshly brewed morning coffee to go (30 cups of coffee = 55,000 bonuses). The offers in "Vkusomaniya" are not simple, but personal: the service monitors the statistics of your purchases. For example, if you buy pesto sauce, you can get twice the tagliatelle bonuses on the spot. Plus, it has recipes from the chefs, an experience button to review the store, and more. The application is available for iOS, the developers promise a version for Android in May.

The main rival of Nika Belotserkovskaya takes quantity. The quality, however, is not particularly affected.

Most of them have video instructions. Some of the content in the application is paid, however, free recipes will also be enough for you for a long time. If you do not have a cooking timer at hand, there is such a function in “Recipes by Julia Vysotskaya”.

The idea behind this service is simple: it will book a restaurant table for you. The value is that, unlike many similar applications like TheFork or Reserve, it is tailored for Russia (or, in any case, for Moscow). Restaurants can be sorted by a variety of criteria: you can search for them on a map near your home or office, or you can choose a vegetarian establishment or a breathtaking view. Reviews and ratings from other users will help you navigate. We also love cat badges. True, the application is not available to Android users - they will have to use the desktop version of Gettable.

The application brings together several million users who add to the knowledge base, leave reviews and make ratings and selections like "Best Catalan Sparkling Wine - 2016". Directly through the app, you can compare prices and see where you can find your desired brand of wine nearby.
