Essential apps for Christmas Eve

With Christmas qui approche à grands pas, arrive aussi le stress engendré par la planification du réveillon de Noël. Tâche à laquelle nul ne peut échapper, et synonyme de course dans les magasins pour y dénicher les Christmas gifts, y acheter le sapin, les décorations, les ingrédients du repas, les boissons, le papier d’emballage, etc. Comment faire pour ne rien oublier, et surtout, pour ne pas paniquer ? Comment ne pas égarer la liste de tout ce dont nécessite l’organisation du réveillon de Noël ?

For iPhone and iPod Touch users, there are some very useful, even essential, tools. The first of these, ShopShop-Shopping List, will allow you to easily create and manage all your lists. Thanks to its interface, you can edit them, delete them, add last-minute ideas, and even forward them to your friends. As you complete your purchases, you can cross them off your lists, thus ensuring that you don't miss anything.

Another very useful app for cooks is Dinner Spinner from Allrecipes.fr. It offers you Christmas Eve menu suggestions and offers a host of recipes adapted to the ingredients you already have. Free and available in French, this app contains recipes for appetizers, salads, starters, soups, exotic dishes, main courses, and of course, the famous desserts. It also contains a detailed list for each of the suggested recipes, specifying the cooking time and number of servings. What's more, it also allows you to choose certain filters, aimed at isolating vegetarian recipes, as well as those without eggs and without lactose.
