Wow! I've just subscribed to the free version and loaded up my 5 free books and I can already see that the yearly price (approximately the price of a cookbook) seems very reasonable cconsidering that it may enable me to get more use out of the books I already own. I also appreciate the reviews of recipes by others...thanks for sharing!

I agree Jamberie did my menu plan from the books I had listed. One huge benefit is being able to add the maazines, i have heaps but never cook from them because I cant remeber whats from what etc.

Hally how did you find me?  what is your user name?

[Jude59]

This is very confronting.... I have now got 76 recipe books listed on my bookshelf and I haven't finished yet..... A lot are ebooks but all the same... looking like an addiction!

Jude, love this.  well worth the money.  Only problem is that i have a lot of books by Australians.  Many of these are not listed. the only ones listed are those with very good publicity people behind them , like stephanie , maggie and Neil Perry.   Still good value. The Dish magazine,  that  I love is there and would be worth it just for that.Alyce Quick fix is also under Thermomix.

[Jude59]

I have got years and years of Dish magazine.  one of my absolute favourites and another NZ one called Cuisine.  Thankfully most of them are digital now as well ... so much easier to find and keep tidy    most of my books and mags are up now.... 87 cookbooks - haven't counted the magazines yet.

hot here today so just put books on.  Up to 77.  I have also physically organised them in alphabetical order,  by author.  Certainly took my mind off the Heat.

We are having crispy pan Tacos from a Donna Hay book, soooooo easy

Would never have searched 50 odd books to get the recipe

My NEW YEARV challenge Is easy with this site

 

[Emme]

I will have to have a look at this site, it may help me to use my books more. 
Chookie, do you subscribe to the Dish magazine?

Yes,  this is my fav. Mag.

Love this website, saves so much time when you can't remember where you saw a recipe. I like the idea that you can link to some online blogs (e.g. Smitten kitchen) as well as magazines. I get gourmet traveller and can never find the recipe I'm looking for.

I agree that some books aren't indexed yet. I've done a few for them - good fun but quite time consuming as they are (rightly) very exacting with indexing requirements.

[CreamPuff63]

I've accessed the site and downloaded 5 books. I'm still deciding how this can benefit me cos usually I know from what book I can access a fave recipe from. Would this be of more benefit to me if say I had an excess if eggplants and wanted a recipe to use them up?

I gather its not going to be that useful if I have my iPad with me at the shop and need to know quantities, its all got to be worked out prior.

Like cookie I do buy Australian more so and haven't gone further to see what books are and aren't available. Bit disappointed that aust woman's weekly is not there and seems to be more US and then UK based. I suppose its not recognised yet that these convicts can cook, and herein lies the annoyance that more aust mags aren't listed 

I'm still sitting on the fence and I would really like to hear your opinions from those who think its a great thing and those who think its not worth it. $25 is not much to outlay, but it is if you are never going to use it.

I would be a millionaire if everyone who went on my website paid me a small fee before they were convinced it was a good or a bad thing

I have also downloaded  my 5 books and will see how it goes.  I am like you CP so far I can remember what book the recipe is in. That will probably change though.    As for my magazines I have stapled little notes on the front cover indicating what recipes I use.  Will be interested to hear other opinions also

CP and Emme,  seems to me at this stage, that it depends on how many books and magazines you have, how much cooking you do, and how often you make a particular dish or like to try new things.  Also a lot of my Australian recipe book are not in their library.  I have put 77 on so far and there are probably 150 more that it will accept. 
I haven't used it yet to find a recipe,  but the programme is very well set up and easy to use.  I think you are wise to wait for more feed back.
