Makes organizing recipes a breeze November 24, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you have a Mac and want to organize your recipes this is the program for you. I ended up downloading this software online after reading reviews of this product and The Recipe Manager 3. Macgourmet received far more rave reviews on message boards online so I ultimately decided to purchase it and couldn't be more pleased. The biggest selling point is that the user interface is very simple to use. It makes it very easy to input recipes, calculate nutritional information, add a photo, make weekly menus, and even publish your own cookbook. I also like it because it makes it very easy to rate my recipes and add notes to myself. I find this to be a big plus because I would frequently want to recreate recipes, but would forget if I even liked them or what substitutions or additions I had made.
This software is especially fantastic if you're looking to save recipes from websites (though I also find it easy to enter recipes from cookbooks, magazines, and recipe cards as well). Currently you can download recipes from sites like FoodNetwork.com, Epicurious.com, and AllRecipes.com in one easy step. Even if a website is not supported, there is a "text clipping" feature that makes it easy to import the recipe without retyping the whole thing.
The only potential downside is that this software does not come with a preloaded library of recipes. This was a non-issue for me as I prefer to select and organize recipes myself, but could frustrate someone who expects to have all the recipes already included. However, as another reviewer mentioned, you can find many websites for download on their site as well as under the 'Featured' subhead in the software.
Overall, I have had this program for almost one year now and have been extremely pleased with the results. What minor glitches the software has had have easily been remedied by updates on the site. I expect more great versions of this product in the future and am particularly curious about a version that is iPhone/iPod Touch compatible.

Macgourmet Deluxe
I had recently purchased another software title to organize my recipes and then found MacGourmet Deluxe. The short learning curve and ease of use made tossing out other a no brainer. While not as simple as copy and paste the ability to import recipes from websites and other text documents is a winner in my book and is much easier than in any other product I've tried. The chef view is great if you work off a laptop while cooking. I definitely recommend!
Best Mac recipe software program on the market September 28, 2008

I purchased the original Advenio Mac Gourmet recipe software program and later added the upgrade features. Mac Gourmet is the best cooking software available for Macs as it offers nutritional analysis, recipe scaling, nutritional calculations, meal planning and the ability to print cookbooks.
The program also offers "Chef's View" which is an enlarged recipe easily read straight from the computer screen. I love this feature as my Mac is located in the kitchen. I can glance at the recipe while cooking instead of having to print the recipe out and then lay it down on the counter to cook with.
Mac Gourmet does not come with any pre-installed cookbooks but recipes can be easily imported at the Advenio recipe forum. Mac Gourmet also offers two easy ways to import recipes from web sites. Both work really well and there are additional free plug-ins for some of the well known recipe sites making the task of importing recipes a snap.
I am a longtime user of Mastercook (still the BEST recipe software programs for PCs) and have found the transition to Mac Gourmet very easy.
Overall, this is an excellent recipe software program.
