Easy to use

This software was just what I was looking for. I wanted to be able to enter my own recipes in a simple format. A lot of programs won't let you put in a range, such as 1/2 - 1 cup, but this one will. The only time that doing this could cause a problem, would be if you were to resize the recipe for a different number of servings. It is not able to resize the whole range. The program came with a lot of preloaded recipes. The search feature is good. I put my name in parentheses after each recipe I entered, so if I wanted to find one of them quickly, or wanted to be able to print several, I could enter my name in the search field and it would pull up just the ones I had entered. This program is very user friendly.

Great Program

This program is great. It is very user friendly. I have been adding my recipes and getting rid of all my recipe cards and torn-out magazine pages. It is easy to send recipes to my friends using this program. I have tried several of the recipes in the database and have found them to be very good. Mountain Software allows you 2 years of free updates.

I love this no nonsense software

I like the set up (once I got the hang of it) and it only took a few minutes to get up and going. I was able to capture recipes off the web and edit them, add pictures and add a few of my own recipes too. No more loose recipes tucked inside of a random book. All my recipes are in one place and easy to access! LOVE IT! One thing, though its a small issue for me, it is advertised as having the ability to figure the nutrition values. I don't see any button or way for this to do that. I don't really count calories as I work with the "All Things In Moderation" idea. Years ago, I had another brand of cookbook computer software that was terrible, so I was apprehensive in purchasing this one. I am very happy with it so far. Someone else said it was not colorful enough???? Are you serving the software? The only thing I would like you to add is the ability for video or at least tell me how..... this would be absolutely PERFECT if it had video capability. MR

Great Cookbook/Recipe Organizer

This product is great. You can quickly enter you own recipes or upload them from the web. If you have a problem just send a message to the company and they respond quickly. You can also separate all you own recipes into their own section. That you can find meals quickly. Highly recommend this product.

Keeping Momma Happy

This product is easy to used and my wife is able to load her family recipes so she can read them better than on the ancient 3x5 cards from her mother's old files. She is very pleased and is so thrilled. I was so glad I'm able to keep "Momma happy!"

Very easy to use

Only improvement would be nutritional info added.

Magically enter recipes in a flash!

Love this program! It's so quick and easy to enter a recipe from the internet...quick and easy to search the database for a particular recipe and to type in a new recipe from anywhere else. So much better than paging through cookbooks and/or magazines. I heartily recommend this app!

This is a wonderful and simple program

This is a wonderful and simple program, you can add recipes of your own or add them from a website. Easy to edit and easy to catagorize and meal plan

Great program

I purchased this software to replace Big Oven that no longer supports desktop users. It's very easy to use, and does everything I need it to, including taking me directly to the websites of most if not all cooking magazines and networks. Big Oven had a "tab" option that lets you create your own categories within the bigger index options (such as "Jacques Pepin " to identify the source of a recipe I added within the category of, say, "Christmas"). Home Cookin doesn't have this exactly but I create it myself by adding the tag to the recipe title or within the recipe description; either way, the Search function will take me right there. I have not used many of the software's features yet, but am having a great time loading in recipes from my cookbooks and magazines.
