Foodies, take note — Evernote has released a new version of its Evernote Food app for Android, described as "the essential app for food lovers."

The latest version, Evernote Food 2.0, is designed to help you find new recipes and keep track of your favorite dishes. The newly updated app is divided into four sections: Explore Recipes, My Cookbook, Restaurants, and My Meals.

"From exploring new recipes to curating your own digital cookbook, keeping a journal or planning a trip to a faraway place, Evernote Food gives you the tools to pursue and document your food passions," Evernote marketing manager Kristina Hjelsand wrote in a blog post Monday.

The Explore Recipes section has thousands of recipes you can browse, search, and save. Simply type in any ingredient — like, say, heirloom tomatoes — to get recipe ideas from a host of popular food blogs and websites. When you find one you like, tap the elephant icon on the right side of the screen to clip it to your My Cookbook section.

Besides helping you find new recipes, the app should also make your recipe collection a lot more organized. The app recognizes recipes saved to Evernote in different formats — including those you have scanned or photographed, manually typed into a note, and clipped using the desktop Web Clipper — and brings them all into your digital cookbook.

The app automatically syncs notes across all your devices, meaning you can clip a recipe using your Android tablet, then pull it up on your phone in the grocery store to see the ingredient list. There's also a new recently viewed feature to help you quickly go back to something you were browsing.

For those times you don't feel like cooking, the app lets you search for restaurants in your area, and keep a list of places you want to try. When you're ready to make a reservation, you can book a table right from the app.

The team behind the app also revamped the My Meals section, which lets you "create gorgeous shareable photo essays documenting all of your food adventures." You can add photos, a description of what you ate, as well as a time and location to help you remember great meals. After you're done, you can share your note on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Evernote Food 2.0 is now available for download on Google Play. For more, check out the video below.
