Watch, Shop and Make:
America's love affair with cooking finally gets off the couch and goes mobile with this chic, fun-to-use application. One of approximately 30 applications - and the only cooking program to premiere on the new Android-powered Google phone - Cooking Capsules inspires with short, stylish how-to shows, simplifies with a grocery checklist, then finishes with step-by-step recipe instructions.

Unlike other cooking offerings, Cooking Capsules is mobile - providing palm-of-the-hand convenience and ease during the inspiration, shopping and preparation phases of the cooking process. Cooking Capsules stands apart from other mobile or Internet utilities by providing cooking shows produced with high production value, accented by creative, original illustrations.

"The media for Cooking Capsules is produced specifically for smartphones, which is something we've not seen elsewhere in the marketplace. It's exciting to offer new adventures in cooking to so many people in this very fun, approachable way."

Cooking Capsules Taster - the First Collection:
Cooking Capsules Taster is the inaugural collection of eight recipes offered by Smart Capsules, Inc. and is currently available on the new Google-powered Android phone, the T-Mobile G1. This free pilot series offers four French-inspired and four Indian recipes, the final two of which are due to launch this week: Mixed Green Salad with Pears, Blue Cheese and Candied Walnuts, and an Indian Tofu Pepper Stir Fry. Two popular, romantic recipes that are sure to impress this Valentine's Day are: Halibut in Parchment Paper and Chocolate Pots de Cre.
