Popular food site Allrecipes.com is “going iPhone” with the launch of Dinner Spinner application, designed to give home cooks “unmatched ease and convenience” for finding everyday food ideas on-the-go.

From the press release:

The Dinner Spinner includes thousands of top-rated recipes, which were selected based on the search behaviors, ratings and reviews of Allrecipes’ 10 million monthly visitors. Home cooks can quickly locate recipes to match their interests or needs by selecting a main ingredient, dish type and cook time to see matching recipes. Cooks who can’t decide can shake their iPhone to activate the Dinner Spinner’s slot-machine-style action for surprise dish ideas. Dinner Spinner recipes come with photos, ingredient lists, step-by-step directions, nutrition and reviews featuring cooking shortcuts and variation ideas from Allrecipes members.

In addition to helping you solve the everlasting “what am I going to make for dinner tonight?” question, Allrecipes’ Dinner Spinner also allows sharing of recipes via email. The user interface is iPhone-ishly easy to use, the app is free, and you can grab it from here.
