Deep Dish MTL app

Montréal chef Chuck Hughes (Garde Manger, Le Bremner) and Dynamo (a digital design agency) have created Deep Dish MTL, an appetizing new iPad app that’s a digital cookbook crammed with recipes from some of some of Montréal’s most renowned chefs.

Deep Dish MTL app ~ provides step by step instructions to recreate dishes by Montreal’s top chefs

Lists of ingredients and equipment per recipe, gorgeous photos and a glossary are all included. The first of its kind in Canada, it allows those of us who don’t live in this glorious city an opportunity to enjoy its cuisine long after our visit. And, for those of us who haven’t had the pleasure of stepping on its soil, it’s even more tempting to book a flight stat.

The app provides five free recipes immediately upon download. Pack of 10 recipes from each chef is available for download for a nominal fee.

So who are the chefs?
