Good Program to Catalog Recipes, 2006-02-20
Bought this on recommendation from a friend. It is a great Access database-like program. Has a few buggy things about it. For example, the shopping list will combine like items with like measurements but won't combine 1 pound butter with 2 cups butter. Could have been more thought put into the user interface. Can't print from File > Print. Have to first edit print design to select new output format.

 Shopping list causes entire program to crash, 2006-02-19
I purchased this product specifically for the shopping list feature. Unfortunately, it froze repeatedly while I was building my first list and I had to re-enter some of my data a couple of times. I REALLY wanted it to work so I kept at it. When I finally got my whole list entered and did a final save before I printed it, the entire program crashed and I lost all of my work (even though I had saved faithfully) AND all the cookbooks have disappeared. Very strange.
I removed it from my computer and do not plan to try again.

Not any good to me., 2006-02-10
I am very dissapointed in this program. I was so excited about getting it to help me with figuring nutritional values of my own recipes as well as trying new ones. I cannot get the program to load on my computer. Have tried all the problem solvers and troubleshooting and get no where. Contacted the tech people and get no help. I have tried everything they say and NOTHING has helped. Buyer beware!

 Love it!, 2006-02-06
I've had previous versions of Mastercook (versions 7 and under). What I really like is the Web Import Bar that is added to Internet Explorer. This feature (new in version 8) is really a time saver for snagging recipes off the internet. I've entered most of our "old" family recipes from my mom and grandmas. Once I've discovered the calorie content of some of the recipes, I've then researched via the internet on how to change the "bad" for "better" substitutes. I use another program to track my food intake, but it seems like I am always looking to Mastercook to determine nutritional values for homecooked items. It's easy to alter the ingredients, etc., based on what was added to a specific recipe. For example, I seem to rarely make chili the same way twice in a row. Since I want to make sure the nutrition information I'm logging is correct, I just open the recipe, make the adjustments and I've got the info. I'd definitely say this software is well worth the price. (I'd pay double for it actually.) While Sierra doesn't have a users forum anymore, there IS a Yahoo Group available for free. LOTS of great help is available. As others have noted, version 9 really isn't much different from virtually ANY of the previous versions and a user's guide is not available. Because of the Yahoo Group, I was able to download the version 6 manual. The instructions are all still good. The Help is version 9 is up-to-date, but I like to look at the manual as I go through the software.

Import recipes from web pages - great new feature!, 2006-01-11
I have used Mastercook programs for years but have found the recent versions to be a bit awkward to navigate. Version 9 is an improvement with some nice added features. I especially like the web import tool. It was a little difficult to find it and get it working with Internet Explorer, but well worth the trouble. Once you open the tool in IE you simply highlight portions of an online recipe, mark what the text is (title, instructions, picture, etc) and then import directly to Mastercook. I love this new feature. If you have an older version, it is worth upgrading. If you have never tried Mastercook and are looking for recipe software, this version is a good one for the price. It comes with many recipes and you can easily add your own or collect new ones online!
