recipe programs?

[Don Hilliard]

I'm looking for an easy way to organize all of the various recipes I have found on this site and others. Does anyone have any recomendations for an easy to use cookbook program. I'm looking for something that I can import recipes into and make modifications and notes about each recipe used. I remember reading about one such program here, but I can't find the post about it. Thanks,
Don

Don --
MasterCook 6.0 seems to be the most popular cookbook program out there. I've had it for 2 or 3 years and am quite pleased with it, although I mostly use it for nutritional information. Here are some URLs that might be informative:

This one's for the forums which would give you an idea of the users' comments. You might have to register, though. See the thread entitled "Ask HERE About MC6 - If Thinking of Buying":

Well! In checking these sites, I see that MasterCook is being cancelled! Hopefully someone will pick it up -- see:

But that won't keep me from using what I have and enjoying it. I found mine at Costco and now, if you see it, it will probably be a good deal. I don't know of any others that are ongoing, but if you find any, I'd like to hear about them too.

Best luck,
Rita

Thanks for the information. I was able to find a copy of MasterCook 6.0 at a local discount store. Last one they had. As it was only $13 I guess if it helps even a little bit it will be worth it. Thanks again.
