Not what I expected. It works ok but I have used better programs
DVO Cook'n Deluxe 6.0 2007-01-18
So far, I have had a number of problems with this product, beginning with attempts to register it. Some windows, including the registration window and info windows such as the ingredient/analysis window, truncate the info so that the entire field cannot be read. There appears to be no way to view all of the info. I have even tried to change screen resolution to no avail. This is the only program I have ever entered that had this problem. I am using Windows XP Home on that computer. The phone support person could not help and said I could return the product if not satisfied. I have not yet given up on it, but am close to returning it. I will be happy to change this review if this problem can be solved, hopefully with the publisher's help.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent to the company requesting a refund:
Thank you for taking back this product. That being said, I wish you could give me back all of the time and effort that I have lost trying to make this product function well. I was never able to load one of the CDs. My shopping list printed out in ounces. What is ¼ ounce of salt? Why would this program convert cups and teaspoons into ounces? How about 0.087 ounces of pepper? It makes no sense!
Technical support via email was extremely slow. It took days for tech support to respond to my problems.
The program is awkward to use and to navigate.
Your product is nothing at all like you advertised. I couldn't be more displeased.

The recipes included with the program are very good, and it is easy to add your own once you have figured out how to add a cookbook and the chapters. It was confusing at first. The grocery list works fine until you want extra items, and then it has difficulty when you print it out. I have found it easier to copy to a word processor and them add my extra items.

WORST COOKING SOFTWARE EVER 2005-03-06
old interface, many bugs, user extremely unfriendly, a complete waste of money for overpriced piece of cooking software developed by some unexperienced software writer, that is lucky to get away with such an unsatisfactory job! Get living cookbook software instead, instant download online, it is the best one by far.
Crash happy recipe software 2005-02-28
I never write reviews of software, or anything for that matter. However, I felt compelled to warn others before they throw away 40 bucks on this software. It is very hard to install if you are missing some .dll files. You have to scower the internet to find and download the right ones. Also, I bought the combination package that had two other recipe cd's included. If you load these in the wrong order, watch out as well ! Once I finally got everything up and running, it worked for about a month, then crashed. I finally got tired of fixing this program, and decided to use the cookin' delux cd's as drink coasters. Beware.
Does this make sense? 2005-02-14
The software allows you to add pictures into the recipe database. Sound like a good idea right!! But there is no way to view the pictures with the recipe or to print them out. My goal was to keep our recipes organized, but also to print them and have them in a binder. Having a picture of the meal you are cooking is very useful, but not possible with this software.
Save you money, don't bother with this software.
Great concept, bad software. 2005-02-12
Using the software was very time consuming. Data entry was not intuitive. It's basically just a big database. With the amount of work required to enter info into the software, I would have been better off saving my money and making my own recipe database in MS Access.
