Recipe Software - what do you use?

[maddy]

Chelsea, I have scanned one of my recipes to show you how I want them to all  look like.



The great thing is you can add the nutrition panel, web source, photos, author notes  etc.....it can be all customized by you.
When you view the recipe on your computer, and you add in the web source that the recipe came from, you can then click that and be directed straight to origin of that recipe site.

Also handy to access a recipe at a click of a mouse, and print a copy out if someone wants it

That looks great Maddy.  I really like what you are doing.  I'm not into doing online shopping lists and things like that, but I do look at my recipe file occasionally and think it would look nice jazzed up a bit (and uniform).

Well Maddy (and everyone else on here ) you have convinced me and I am going to be buying LC for myself for Mothers Day (just as an extra for me because I can lol) I think this will be wonderful for when my kids decide to leave home ONE day as well  Hopefully I will get the day on Sunday to just sit and play

Looks great maddy - I keep thinking that I should - but then again - I'll wait.  One day

  That's what I said for ages too Mr.T......but finally decided to go ahead and do it 
A little recipe entry every day, makes it an easier/enjoyable task.  Wish I could apply that theory to my monthly BAS statements though 

[faffa_70]

ROFL Maddy, advice taken, since I have only just finished the BAS and can totally relate  so a nice day playing tomorrow and then a recipe a day there after

Have fun Kathryn 

Oh, and the recipe transferring is way more fun!......with no ugly payments due to the government 

[faffa_70]

ROFLMAO - yes I always cringe when I hit that button waiting to see what it is going to be 

[maddy]

Faffa.....how did you go?  Did you end up purchasing/have a play with it?

[DeafThermie]

Living Cookbook software no longer on website to try the demo/trial? 

I searched high and low, with no luck! Was keen to try it out before buying!

Anyone recently had same problem or is it just me?

[faffa_70]

Oh I missed your reply Maddy ... I have it and I have to say I ADORE it  I spent a bit of time cleaning it up and setting it up in my play time and now I am in heaven

can't say the same for my pending BAS though 

DeafThermie I found a link for you so hope it works

Good to hear Kathryn!
It does take a little fiddling, but worth the time setting it up.
I find it's so easy now to copy a recipe straight off this forum/and others, then paste in my cook book straight away.
No more pieces of paper laying around with recipes everywhere!


For those wanting to use the demo version first.....you cant import a recipe with just the demo.
You will need to type it in to see the layout.
Once you purchase full version, you can then import to your hearts content!

just a quick question as i haven't read the entire thread yet and haven't foudn the answer yet - when you buy Living Cookbook do you download it or do you have a CD sent out to you? i really can't be bothered waiting for a CD lol

[faffa_70]

You can have either from memory Karen, I downloaded it cause I couldn't be bothered waiting either!!

[brazen20au]

ah thanks kathryn! when it was asking for my address i didn't want to go any further in case there was no download option!
