What is it? The food app equivalent of Manchester City: a no-expense spared bid for the top, based around securing the finest talent available. The impressive selection of chefs involved includes Marcus Wareing, Simon Rogan, Bruno Loubet and Nathan Outlaw. This is the Christmas spin-off. £1.99, for iPhone and iPad.

Key ingredient? Each chef contributes a full Christmas menu, including canapés and petits fours. Very classy. They're good, too.

Yes, but can I manage it at home? All the dishes are graded for difficulty but "medium" may count as pretty tricky for some. Unless you regularly knock out a dessert of caramel mille-feuille, mango and gold leaf press and crystalised chilli.

Will it improve my cooking? The videos of the more cheffy techniques, such as butchering rabbit, are great. Ace those and you can handle Monica Galetti and her infamous MasterChef Pro skills test, no problem.
