Cooking software?
Does anyone have a computer program disc that is designed for storing/retreiving recipes?

I need a recommendation, but please, make it for one you have actually used. I've taken advice from folks who "think" one might be good, and it usually is really a waste.

I don't know if it's out there, but I'm looking for one that:

- I can type in my own recipes
-I don't have to keep their pre-stored recipes
-I can do a search on one or more words
-I can search by type of food (casserole, roast, breads)
-recipes can be printed easily

Is there such a disc? Thank you so much!

My mom uses one. I'll have to find out from her what the program was called. I think it was MasterCook, but I might be mistaken. I need to get a copy of it, too. :)[/url]

jkath, how good are you at MS Word? You can easily do all that stuff, organize recipes in folders, and retreive items using the "search" function.
Plus, you're not starting with a bunch of recipes you want to throw out.

Well I can say that I have used it, but only a few times. Mastercook seems to be the one to go with. I do believe that it does everything you are looking for and more. I tried it for a short while, but found that I like using word.docs better and I would never use all the bells and whistles that Mastercook offers, but for those that would use it, it is a great (and pretty inexpensive) program.

You know what? I have mastercook 5, and it does have some good recipes, but it's unbelievably hard to print out - it prints in 3-4 different pieces! Also, I can't seem to program in my own stuff easy enough. Keep in mind I can make anything "pretty", whether it's a newsletter, card or flyer, but when it comes to "real" stuff...well, that's another story! ;)
(ps weeks, thanks for your postings - I really appreciate them!)

Mudbug - my MS Word hates me. Every time I use it, and then click out, I've apparently performed an illegal opperation. The computer guy who de-bugged my pc told me my computer has an attitude and is incorrigible.

(So I use print shop for most thingys, except charts and the like)

Since MS Word is out (that would have gotten my vote hands down), ChoclateChef's freeware looks pretty interesting in the screen shots. And it's free.

My kinda gal, choclatechef!
