Martha Stewart is making everyday food faster and easier this month, spinning off her Everyday Food magazine into a second cookbook and an iPhone application that offers recipes, daily dinner ideas and automated shopping lists.

The app, called “Martha’s Everyday Food,” lets iPhone and iPod touch users access thousands of recipes from the magazine. Its introduction accompanies the release of “Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast,” a compilation of 250 recipes from the magazine that aim to land tasty meals on the table in an hour or less.

The book includes recipes that promise relatively healthy, flavorful, fuss-free meals.

Oven-baked peanut-crusted chicken breasts promise a richly textured main course without the mess — and calories — of frying. Grated ginger, lime juice and curry powder should deliver a pungent kick to the crispy ginger-lime chicken thighs. And pork chops with bulgur stuffing conjure up Morocco with their combination of apricots, almonds and cumin.

Think-ahead moves — like roasting a second pork loin for future meals while preparing pork loin with figs and port sauce — really cater to the busy home cook. Low-fat raisin bran muffins take the stress out of breakfast. And recipes for the building blocks of great meals — pizza dough, pie crust, tomato sauce — mean dinner is always just waiting to happen.

Many healthy alternatives to fried favorites, such as the oven-baked fries made of parsnips, sweet potatoes or polenta, are about as easy as opening a bag of the frozen stuff. And nutrition- conscious cooks will appreciate the calorie, fat, fiber and carb data for each recipe.

And you don’t even have to decide what’s for dinner until you’re standing in the grocery store. The Everyday Food app (which costs 99 cents) will let you search and download recipes, add the ingredients to your shopping list, then let everyone in the family know what’s for dinner via e-mail.
