Just in time for barbecue season, Food Network Magazine has launched its first iPad app. The app – available for $3.99 in iTunes - aligns with the magazine’s June issue, which is focused on grilling.

Some features that come with the app include over 125 recipes, how-to videos and grilling trivia. Maile Carpenter, Food Network Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, hopes that the app will take advantage of the iPad platform.

“The Food Network Magazine app has all of the energy of our pages, plus functionality that makes it even easier to shop for ingredients and make great food – and have fun doing it,” she said.

It’s a great idea for the magazine. The portability will make using it next to the grill effortless; much easier than looking at a recipe on an iPhone. If anyone is going to use the app at their barbecue, you should know that the FishbowlNY staff is great company. Just saying…
