Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

Have been using MasterCook for years. Did a family and friends cookbook as Christmas gifts several years ago, they were a big hit, some have been handed down to their kids. I like the fact that I can now share recipe books and my recipes with family on line, great feature, I dont any longer get those phone calls How did you make this. Great program,

This Computerized format for organizing my recipes for my family has proven to be very effective. I have looked into it, and most companies want you to purchase several copies for resale to others for a profit, but I have just been interested in putting some old recipes from my family together in a format that would allow me to print them out and put in a binder of my choice, and create as many as 1 or more without having to sign a contract for 100 or more for publishing. Very easy to navigate within formats provided and can plug nutritional information and other pertinent information on each recipe. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a small version or prototype without publishing. Very Nice ..

Used Master Cook since version 4, still a great tool

Easy to input recipes software loaded without a hitch

The gift was well received .

needed to import from much older version - worked very well

Im not as enthusiastic about this program as so many others here. It looks very rudimentary compared to similar programs. It works, but the way it is set up it looks like something from the early 90s, which is pretty much the stone age for software. I had a problem where the program became corrupted somehow. It was working fine one day and wouldnt boot the next and I hadnt done anything in the meantime. Luckily I had only started to use it, but I would be very annoyed if I had a lot of recipes loaded already. Tech support did answer me and told me to delete it and reload which I had already done. When I asked if they knew why this happened because I didnt want to lose recipes again they blamed me for not waiting until talking to them first. Huh? I did exactly the same thing they told me to do and lost the recipes. I thought their response was a bit snippy, but at least they did answer me in a timely manner. I would not buy this program again though.

I used MasterCook for years as a very happy cook. I think my original version was MasterCook 5. I saved ALL my grandmothers recipes on it. When this version came out it wiped every recipe I had saved for about 20 years from the storage unit. I am very sad. These can never be replaced I WOULD SUGGEST NO ONE BUYS THIS PROGRAM SINCE THEY DO NOT SAVE YOUR RECIPES. There was no respect for my years of work and the importance of saving the family treasures.

hard to use, poor instructions

What I didnt like was it would not load on my laptop. Had to have a tech load on thumb drive for it to work.
