Home Cookin 9.70
Description
Home Cookin is a recipe software that is designed to make cooking at home easier and more enjoyable. With its user-friendly interface, easy recipe entry, photo support, spell checking, and support for informational text, Home Cookin is the perfect tool for anyone who loves to cook.
One of the standout features of Home Cookin is its fast and easy searching capabilities. Whether you're looking for a specific ingredient or just browsing through recipes by category, Home Cookin makes it simple to find what you're looking for. And with its duplicate recipe finder, you can easily identify and eliminate any duplicate recipes in your collection.
Another great feature of Home Cookin is its flexible printing options. You can print out your recipes in a variety of formats including full-page or half-page formats with photos or without photos. You can also customize your printouts by adding your own notes or comments.
But perhaps the most useful feature of Home Cookin is its integrated meal planner and grocery manager. With these tools, you can plan out your meals for the week ahead and create shopping lists based on the ingredients needed for each recipe. This not only saves time but also helps ensure that you always have everything you need on hand when it's time to cook.
In addition to all these great features, Home Cookin also allows you to import recipes from web pages or popular file formats like Meal-Master and Mastercook. And if there's a recipe that isn't available online or in one of these formats, you can manually import it from other sources like newsgroups or other websites.
Once you've created your collection of recipes in Home Cookin, exporting them couldn't be easier. You can export them as mobile-friendly files that are compatible with devices like iPads and Kindles as well as popular file formats like Meal-Master and Mastercook. And if you want to share your recipes with others online, simply send them to the cloud where they'll be accessible from any device with an internet connection.
Overall, if you're looking for an easy-to-use recipe software that will help simplify meal planning and grocery shopping while making cooking at home more enjoyable than ever before then look no further than Home Cookin!
Review
Although it lacks some features found in other recipe database programs, Home Cookin' does a passable job of organizing recipes and assisting with meal planning.
Using its simple tabbed interface, you can either type in recipes or quickly add them by copying and pasting. We're also able to upload and paste in BMP images during tests. Resizing the number of servings was simple, and the program automatically adjusts the measurements in the recipe. Its handy reference materials include measurement equivalents and an illustration of the USDA Food Pyramid. We also like the meal-planning calendar.
Unfortunately, importing and exporting recipes was a bust. The program's "Copy to Clipboard" option gave a jumbled mess when exporting, removing images along the way. Importing was no better. The imported recipe was a mix of odd, erroneous characters. Home Cookin' doesn't give nutritional information for dishes, and the application's grocery lists aren't directly tied to selected recipes, unlike other programs in this category. We also were disappointed to only find 15 preloaded recipes to go along with the 15-day trial. Beginning cooking enthusiasts may want to try Home Cookin', but veterans may feel as if they've been burned.
