The kitchen is the heart and soul of any home. It's the place everyone gathers to have a delicious meal. The apps featured in this week's tech talk may not be able to cook for you, but they can help prepare a delicious meal for family and friends.

The first step to preparing any meal is gathering ingredients. Grocery Gadgets is an app that lets you create and manage your shopping lists. Items can be added using your phone, tablet or computer, and you can even import ingredients from recipes.

The widely-renowned cookbook "How to Cook Everything" has been transformed into a great smartphone app. Recipes can be sorted by topic and you can share recipes with your friends on social media sites.

Trying to follow a recipe but not finding it very flexible? Cooking Conversions is an app that will assist with temperature changes and measurement conversions.

Cook Timer helps you determine when you add each ingredient to a dish, so you know that everything is cooked perfectly.
