Sit down and work out what you want you app to look like, what you expect the user to want to do, and how you are going to help him do that.

Work out a "workflow" for the user: He wants to display a recipe? How does he do that? Is the screen touch screen - because if it isn't, that'll be a nightmare for a user with his or her hands covered in flour and butter - so how big do you need buttons? Will he want to use his knuckles to "tap" a button?
How many screen do you need? What kind of "look and feel" do you need to give it?
How is your data going to be stored?

Work all that out in a good level of detail, and the interface choices become a lot simpler!
Then mock it up and try it: throw a "test app" together and see how well it fits your workflow. Change the test app until you get something that seems OK and then think about how to implement it.

Deciding which controls to use first is like designing a car by picking the tyres first!
