This looks great. I cook a lot with my iPhone (just in the browser). My suggestions, with the caveat that I haven't actually tried your app yet.
- Make sure there's a way to disable the "sleep/screensaver" mode. This is my biggest annoyance.
- I couldn't tell what the "milk" icon was supposed to be. Maybe show a glass of milk instead?
- Most importantly, instead of showing the ingredients as icons, show them as "before/after" each step. Preferably with photos, not illustrations. For example, you say "potatoes: peel and slice". In my experience, a novice cook would say, "how thin? do you want them lengthwise or what?", etc.. same thing with "finely chop garlic", "cut off the dark green part of the leeks?", and especially "boil until thickened and bubbly", etc... what beginning cooks what is "make it look like THIS (with a picture).
- I LOVE the kitchen timers. Maybe make that a separate app?
