Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

I have hundreds of recipes, so the custom cookbooks are nice. I just wish there was a quicker way to put them in other than cut and paste, as they were all stored on various Word documents

hard to use, poor instructions

I purchased this software because of the rating, supposed to be 4 to 5 stars; I found it very confusing, not user friendly at all and when I finally figured it out then printed one recipe the formatting is awful and you can not change it.

I originally went to MasterCook after Living Cookbook went dark would not install on Windows 10. The reason I went ot MasterCook was that they could import all of my recipes (for a fee), but since I did not want to type in the 500+ recipes again, it was a bargain. At first the program was great, but then stuff started to bug me.

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 ..

needed to import from much older version - worked very well

I used a couple different versions of this software. Wanted to upgrade to the version. This was the previous version at a great price. So I got this instead. Now I will work on getting all my family recipes in once place. No more books, cards and sheets of paper or post it notes flying around. I can even scan the original recipe and store the picture in the recipe too.

This software worked great for years. But now it is deleting my recipes!

My husband bought the original Mastercook program for me years ago & we had to update to this new one. I love how you can input new recipes or create your own ones with this program. And I like how you can create your own personal cookbooks with the program. What I also like about the program is within a recipe you can add what Cuisine it is & what type of recipe it is. That allow you to search within the cookbook of the type of Cuisine you want to make and search for a description of the recipe. Italian, Pasta. Italian, dessert. Southern, side dishes. Etc. You input the type of cuisine & you can input as many description within the cookbook for the recipes. The list is endless. I love the program. So much easier than try to sort through Pinterest for recipes without all the popup ads.

I had the original software from probably the 1990s. It was a very handy program, though not particularly slick. I have been through a couple of computers and this time I cant find my cd. The tech who transferred the info saved my recipes however. I was going to buy the new software, but after reading the reviews, I wont, Its not worth it to me to get into a monthly subscription so I will just organize the recipes in some fashion so they are easily accessible.
