For all my hand written recipes, I just simply added them into Cozi.
There is also a part to link a recipe from the internet right onto the Cozi recipe page. So, I began adding all those recipes I have stored on by copy and pasting all the info from the recipe on the site to my Cozi recipe box. brilliant, I thought so I began planning meals.Īlong with the meal planning there is a "recipe box" where I can compile recipes and then simply drag the recipe over to the appropriate day I plan to make that recipe. So, in checking it out further on my computer, a few weeks ago, I found an area for meal planning. I already was familiar with the app a little bit because I had it on my phone.
I recently got a new laptop and on that laptop there was an app downloaded called the Cozi Family Organizer. That was working really pretty well for me in keeping the recipes organized.įor the recipes we used a lot, I would print them out in 4圆 card size and kept them tidy in a little box.įast forward to this challenge.

My recipes software software#
This hall of fame post shares some tips from readers on how they use various software programs, both free and paid, to organize their recipes. Not optimal but workable.It is easier to do this now than ever, since you can easily take your laptop or IPad into your kitchen with you (like the picture above) to use while you cook, so you can follow the recipe without ever having to print it out. That way, if something goes south I can buy MasterCook and still have all of my recipes. fdx and fdxz files from my laptop to my desktop. I’m going to keep using Living Cookbook, but whenever I add a recipe I will export. fdxz format and use cb2cb to convert it to the latest MasterCook. I can export my Living Cookbook database to an. But the question, again is what about the accessibility of my data in the event of a problem? MasterCook allows you to import a Living Cookbook database by using a third-party program called cb2cb (that is CookBook to Cookbook). Really, I don’t want to spend the money for a new program when I like Living Cookbook so much.
My recipes software trial#
That leaves MasterCook, which does not provide a trial version, but does seem to have a pretty straightforward user interface.
Both support the import of Living Cookbook data, but I didn’t like the look and feel of either and I didn’t like the format of either for printing recipes. Based on suggestions from folks in my kitchen appliances and pressure cooker Yahoo groups, I downloaded trial versions of both Paprika and Cook’n. I worry about the accessibility of my data should something happen to the software or should my laptop give it up.
I would periodically check the web site to see if there were any updates, but there were none.
My recipes software update#
However, Living Cookbook hasn’t issued an update since 2014 when it released Living Cookbook 2015. I like the format the program uses to print out the recipes and I like the way I can search on any number of criteria. When I was first thinking about computerizing my recipes the most popular recipe software was MasterCook, But at the time it was between owners and not supported, so I went with Living Cookbook. I have been using the Living Cookbook recipe software for some years now. My recipe software dilemma Posted: Janu| Author: Mike Christie | Filed under: Cooking, Recipes, Web/Tech | Leave a comment
