MasterCook Software is the BEST October 6, 2008 I have had MasterCook for many years now. Every upgrade makes collecting, sharing and saving recipes easy. This one is no exception. The Impost Assistant is a great feature to gather up recipes online and convert them to my MC personal collection of recipes without having to re-type is fantastic...I love it. If you like to cook, collect and share recipes this program is a must!
MasterCook Deluxe 9.0 September 29, 2008 I bought this as a gift and was rewarded with a great deal of enthusiasm and appreciation! The recipient was so pleased and excited to receive this and has reported that it exceeds his expectations.
Of little use September 8, 2008 This was difficult to install and wanted to install old versions of Adobe Reader and Quicktime Player. Most of the receipts did mot have photos of the dish. I would not use this product if was free.
MasterCook delux August 13, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the first software cookbook I have purchased since the Micro cookbooks of the '90's. Not dissapointed but also not overly impressed. Much easier to use with lots of short cuts. Not impressed with the imbedded cookbook and their recipes but I did not buy it for that. I bought it to record and store my collected recipes and it seems fine for doing that.
Great Tool July 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Aside from the vast library of recipes, shopping and nutrition tools that this product offers, this software is great for people who have family recipes, who like to invent their own dishes or re-invent them. You can produce a cookbook with all of those beloved recipes and it can include the nutritional value as well (Watch out, you will find out just how loaded with fat and calories mom's home cooking really was). I also like that you can recalculate the portion size of the recipes and it will recalculate your shopping list.
The only reason that I give it a 4 and not a 5 is because it's not a beautifully designed interface. You are getting a lot of utility and flexibility here in exchange though.
If you are kind of a techie, you should consider this software a 5. It's very flexible in terms of it's architecture and database set up.
