5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Recipe Software   August 16, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am creating a family cookbook, and I have found this software to be exactly what I was looking for! I started with recipes from parents and grandparents, but I am having just as much fun getting recipes from my kids. My sister and I are putting this book together to give to our children this Christmas, and I am sure it will be a hit.

The software is very easy to use, yet it allows for many creative options. One of the neatest options is the ability to include pictures with each recipe. I have retrieved old pictures, going back several generations, and combined them with pictures taken just last week with the newest addition to the family. There is always room (as much as you need or want) to include stories that relate to each recipe. The cookbook then becomes a family history in recipes.

Another really important feature is that you keep the data on your own computer. That allows you to make changes if you need to (no matter how many times you proofread, someone will always find a mistake somewhere.) You can then rerun a page whenever needed. You can also add to the cookbook anytime a new family favorite recipe pops up.

The website for this software also has many ideas and examples. A really nice feature is a blog for questions and ideas. The creators of this software will respond to your questions and concerns quickly, and I really appreciated that!

I highly recommend this software!!



1 out of 5 stars Disappointed!!!!   March 27, 2008
 2 out of 6 found this review helpful

It was just a total disappointment. First of all, it didn't even come with any sort of plastic sleeve which made me feel like I had just purchased a bootlegged copy of something. Which by the way would of been about 1/6 of the cost. The choices for the layouts were nominal. There were no instuctions. It was filled with Matilda's recipes which duplicate, triplicate...at a touch of a button. The program on my vista laptop under Taskmanager was just as good. And it was free!!!! Does anyone review these products at Amazon?????


5 out of 5 stars ease of use? - TERRIFIC   January 5, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

First of all, I love this product! My hubby gave it to me for Christmas, and I am having a great time playing with it.

My usual method of keeping up with my recipes was keying into a word processing program, printing them out and placing in a three-ring binder in sheet protectors (to keep them clean!). I was looking for something to key into, and maybe compile them into a cookbook for others to use, and this seems to fit the bill! With this software, I can print individual recipes for my binder as I go, and still have the recipes together for use later. Nifty, huh?

And it's so simple to use, no complicated ingredient lists, etc. I am using "cut and paste" to move my recipes from the word processing program to this program; very simple, and quick too! I can also pick up new recipes from the internet using the same method. Once I paste, then I can clean up the formatting to suit myself. Easy, easy, EASY!

I like the section for "authors" of the recipes. A short biography of each person is entered, then you can "give credit where credit is due" for those wonderful recipes that have passed down through the generations. Also, the "types" (i.e., dessert, main dish, etc.) of recipes can be selected anyway I want them, then changed later if I need to expand or delete.

They have a message board, for general chit-chat as well as where problems are addressed. Also, suggestions are accepted from users to help upgrade future editions to better meet the needs of the end-users. Great suggestions are being offered, and it really makes me feel like they are trying their best to make a good product better!

If you are looking for an easy "electronic" recipe box, this may be just the product for you. I know it's working for me!

Like one of the other reviewrs, I had tried not only a couple of other cookbook programs, but many. I was beginning to become very frustrated because either I couldn't find what I was looking for in a product or the product wasn't what it was advertised as or just didn't work. I was about to give up in finding "that product." I did one last search on the internet and found this product by accident. I ordered it and after a few attempts at loading onto my computer (needless to say, my computer was having an attitude problem), I finally got the program loaded and fell in love with the product. I don't know how I managed before I found it. I am a published author of one cookbook that really didn't come out well because of the other programs that I was using. Now, with this program, my cookbooks will be so much better. Thank you so much Cookbook People.

I was looking for software to compile a cookbook for a school music group. I didn't want one that already had 500 recipes in it; just something easy-to-use to make my job easier! This is the one to get. The customer service people are quick to respond and great to work with.
