While there's no shortage of recipe-related downloads at the App Store, Cooking Light's first app, The Cooking Light Quick and Healthy Menu Maker -- the No. 1 app in the Lifestyle category -- serves up a handful of well-organized and visually delicious dishes for the health-conscious individual.

The app ($3.99) houses more than 300 handpicked recipes -- divided into entrees, sides and desserts -- that you can flip through with your fingertip. If you'd like to drill down deeper, you can also select different kinds of food. Under sides, for example, you can select beans & grains, bread, pasta, potatoes, salad or vegetables. Entrees are divided into beef & lamb, poultry, pork, fish, pasta or vegetarian.

Further increases were likely unless production of major food crops increases significantly in 2011, the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization said, warning that international food import bills could pass the $1 trillion dollar mark in 2010.

”With the pressure on world prices of most commodities not abating, the international community must remain vigilant against further supply shocks in 2011 and be prepared,” the agency said in its Food Outlook.

Still, it said that supplies of staple food crops were more ample now, lessening the risk of a similar crisis. But it cautioned that ”world prices have raised alarmingly and at a much faster pace than in 2007/2008.”

The agency revised its forecast for world cereal production downward, saying it would shrink by 2 per cent. The agency, which had previously forecast a 1.2 per cent expansion in production, said supply shortfalls because of bad weather were to blame.
