Mise En Place 1.0 for the iPhone

Topics: 

I don't have an iPhone, but... if I did... I would be awfully tempted by Mise En Place, an application developed by Derrick over at An Obsession with Food and Wine.

Guide to Ocean Friendly Seafood

Foods: 

Many fish we eat are in danger due to overfishing or the destruction of their habitat.
