Grocery Shopping Network Launches UCook Recipe & Shopping Application for the Apple iPhone

The Grocery Shopping Network announced today the addition of UCook, an iPhone app that empowers shoppers with the digital weekly specials circular from their favorite grocer, and a rich interactive recipe database with nutritional information, plus a shopping engine. The first version is free and is connected to a growing list of grocery stores across the country that is powered by GSN’s web services solutions.

Andy Robinson, Grocery Shopping Network CEO, has high hopes for the new addition to the Apple app store. “The new UCook app will give the grocers we serve a new way to provide value to their mobile customers. Not only does this app give shoppers great recipes, but it also gives them quick and easy access to weekly specials in their grocery store. Our grocery partners are excited to offer this solution to the public at no charge. ”

The UCook app can be found in the iTunes App Store. UCook boasts over 60,000 kitchen-tested recipes with photos and nutritional information. The UCook app also gives shoppers an easy to use shopping list which keeps track of sale items and recipes for purchase at their local grocery store. (The same features and recipes are also available at the GSN-powered grocery store website.)
