Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

I have used this program for many years. I have tried many cookbook programs and keep coming back to MasterCook. It is easy to add recipes and has no limit to the number you can add to a book.

Was too difficult to manage

I had a lot of old recipes in my old PC created by and older version. The company doesnt support upgrading these files unless I upgrade my license with a $75 fee. Not worth it. Wish I hadnt wasted my money.

Fantastic program. I just recently purchased this because of the new $180 a year subscription by the Cookn/DVO program. I was NOT about to start paying that amount for a recipe program. Anyway, that situation put me in search of an alternative. I found Mastercook 15. I have Windows 10. Everything works flawlessly on my desktop computer and also on my ipad. I really like that you can insert additional photos as demonstration pictures aside from the main photo. I also really liked the fact that I needed to convert my prior recipe backup from BigOven and was able to send that file to Mastercook, whose techs converted it to the mastercook file so I could flawlessly import it. AND Mastercooks techs took care of that in ONE day. Bravo. (When I purchased Cookn, they charged me $10 additional to buy a program that would convert my recipes to the .dvo files.)

This program allows you to share a group cookbook. My program doesnt work. Heres the response to my problem from the Technical Support supervisor:

I had a problem with windows 10 interaction and reported it to Master Cook. They resolved the issue by contacting Microsoft and working with their development team and kept me informed throughout the process. Love the program and the support that comes with it.

I have used MasterCook since I first found a CD at a bookstore many years ago. I have always liked this product and found it to be incredibly useful.

Ive used Big Oven for years. Im sure Ive spent thousands of hours entering recipes. A couple days ago it crashed after a Windows Update. I was so upset, because my recipes were all in Big Oven. I was so devastated. i spend a couple hours on the internet trying to find something else to go to. When I read that Mastercook has been around for 20 years, I purchased it right away. If Im going to invest so much time into it, I want it to be around.

I trialled and subsequently purchased MasterCook after the bait and switch tactics of Cookn (which I had used for years). I had a few hundred recipes in Cookn and although I was not looking forward to re-importing them all into another program, I was NOT prepared to pay hundreds of dollars every year to keep using Cookn
