14 September,
2011 - InterContinental Hotels & Resorts' guests will be
able to relive their holiday food memories with downloadable recipes
from the InterContinental Kitchen Cookbook iPad app, available from
today. Following the success of InterContinental‘s Concierge Insider Guides app for iPad and iPad 2, and IHG's iPhone booking apps for its seven hotel brands, the InterContinental Kitchen Cookbook iPad app is the first food and beverage app from a global hotel brand. The free app will allow food enthusiasts to recreate and share 32 simple local recipes from 24 InterContinental Hotels & Resorts around the world in their own kitchens, feeding the global desire to recreate restaurant experiences at home. New recipes to attempt in kitchens at home have been specially selected by hotel Head Chefs, such as the InterContinental New York Times Square cheesecake, a New York City staple, from renowned chef Todd English, and the InterContinental Berchtesgaden Resort's salmon trout, developed by the hotel's Michelin star Head Chef, Ulrich Heiman. "After great customer feedback on the industry first Concierge iPad app and the InterContinental hotel booking app, we are excited to launch phase one of our InterContinental Kitchen Cookbook iPad app, which showcases some of our world class chefs' favourite local recipes that are enjoyed by our guests all over the world," says Simon Scoot, Vice President, Global Brand Management, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. InterContinental properties with recipes featured on the app include:
