Chinese Steamed Chicken with Vegetables
The story behind Hipcook:
Kimberley created Hipcook app as a solution to her own recipe hoarding issue...(she is an avid collector of recipes and of course cookbooks) and so rather than lose what she really wanted to cook in a folder or pile of cookbooks, she came up with the brilliant idea for the Hipcook app. And it is brilliant.
The shopping list feature is so GREAT...seriously...go have a look. Meal planning just got really really easy!
What is Hipcook:
Hipcook is a system that collates and brings together all of your recipes from everywhere. Plus a new exciting feature called the Recipe Pop up Shop where there is a showcase of some of the most talented bloggers (he-hem, yes, that would be me!!) and their recipes from all over the country.
You will also love that Hipcook is FREE. There are in-app purchases, for example, you can officially download my Top Twenty Five ebook and have it on your phone...yay!
So anyhoo, here is one great recipe from Kimberley herself. I think you will love it and the app....Enjoy!
