Recipe Software?

[paprkutr]

It's November 2011 and I am looking for good software to write down all my recipes. I have an old copy of Matilda's Fantastic Recipe but it isn't that great. Would love to have some input, by the way I have a pc. TIA

I use Gourmet. I run Ubuntu Linux but it runs on Windows as well. The thing I like about it the most is that it can import recipes from webpages--sometimes you have to give it a little 'help' but it beats manually transcribing them.

I use the paid version of Evernote. It works fabulously and I can access it from any computer, my smartphone, etc.

I've used Living Cookbook for years, but I've mostly gotten away from it.

If you just want to store recipes, Word or WordPerfect will work fine. Just make appropriate folders and sub-folders in your Documents folder.

If you want something to generate shopping lists or give suggestions for, "I have this, what can I do with it?" recipe software might be the way to go.

If you need the latter, I suggest Living Cookbook. LC is written by a husband and wife team in North Noplace, NY. Lee is pretty good about answering your questions in a timely manner.

I have tried several recipe programs and settled on Living Cookbook a few years ago. You can check out their website at

Take a look at these two recent threads: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/812797 and http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/813853

Many of these applications have free trial versions. Take a look at http://cookbook-recipe-software-revie... to see what software you might want to try.

I use Living Cookbook.
