Epicurious so far with the paid account sync option so she can sync recipes. Mario Batali's app looks pretty neat as well since they recently added native iPad resolution support.

thanks!

No problem. I think overall there is a lack of really polished cooking apps for iOS. Mario Batali's app seems to have some nice typography from the screenshots I have looked at, but doesn't have as much content from what I can tell in comparison to others.

For your own personal recipes, I'd recommend Paprika: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1798717

Paprika seems to be 100% tied to the iPad, which I don't like - I'd much rather have an iPad interface to something on the web.

Thanks. Haven't come across this one yet but Paprika looks pretty slick.

http://wegottaeat.com looks interesting, but subscription seems somewhat expensive ($15/year) for what you get, and it doesn't look like there's been any updates since February (which incidentally seems to be when it moved to paid subscriptions).
