Great program 
2008-05-10
My wife loves this program. And it is expandable. You can add other recipe programs to it by just buying them and downloading them, simple. Also add your own recipes, simply great.
Great Program 2008-04-14
I was interested in using this program to organize my own family recipes, and not so much in the recipes it comes with. It has been great in that regard. Entering recipes is unbelievably quick and easy. The program has a glossary of ingredients, so fills in the ingredient as soon as you start typing it. It also knows to turn the ingredient to the plural if you are using more than one (will change "egg" to "eggs" by itself.) You can print recipes out on a number of formats, including recipe cards or special-size paper. It also has an extensive library of recipes of it's own, plus a feature where you can sign up to have the web site send you new recipes. I did not take advantage of that feature.
Heh!

This is the most frustrating software I have ever received. It's confusing to navigate; there's no common sense to it. It's going back. I had years ago a $10 recipe maker cd that was fantastic but i misplaced it and cant find it to load on my new computer. This product is $39. and a waste of money and time. Sorry! it's not up to snuff.
Dreadful 2008-03-21
My wife received Cook'n Recipe Organizer as a gift. Unfortunately, the software is terrible. The interface is clunky and terribly frustrating (how do I get back to that recipe I was just looking at?). Evidently, the developer, who works from a garage in Utah, has never heard of the Windows Interface Guidlines. The UI looks like it's 10 years old and is in need of an update, if not a complete overhaul. Some export functions are on the File menu, others are on the Options menu for some strange reason.
If this was a freebie download, I could understand it. The fact that it's sold as a commercial product is inexcusable. It's not ready for prime time in my opinion.
Avoid at all cost 2008-02-24
I don't think I have ever had such a hard time trying to do something that should be so simple. I bought it to organize the family recipes I have, many of which are written on pieces of paper ripped out of notebooks or on worn and barely legible 4x6 cards. The instructions are muddled and unclear, the set-up is much more complicated than it really needs to be, and everything I try to enter gets deleted because it won't let me save. My advice? Save the money. You're better off keeping the stained and dirty 4x6's that your great-grandmother wrote out.
