Seeking recipe/cookbook software

I am currently on a 30 day trial of Living Cookbook software. It was highly rated on Amazon and other sights. It is fairly easy to use. The big downside that I have found is the nutritional analysis for any recipe you add to the database is very incomplete. My minestrone soup recipe omitted eight of the eleven ingredients and I can't find a way to turn this feature off on my first try at creating a cookbook. No nutritional information would be better than erroneous.

Would love to hear feedback of a good, easy-to-use recipe management software.

    You might try Pepperplate.com

    No nutritional analysis, but a clean, simple interface for transferring recipes in. Some popular sites are supported with a one-click feature. Most I have imported I have done manually, and they don't take more than a couple minutes.

    There are shopping list and other planning features as well.

    I would like nutritional info, but more than anything, I want it to be easy to use, so I do!
