Summary: Wow
Comment: There is more to MasterCook than just recipes. I started using MC to create weekly mealplans. I was amazed when I found out that I could set up a listing of everything in my pantry or fridge in a list and the program would subtract everthing that I already had from my shopping list. It also does nutritional analysis. All I can say is WOW!

Summary: Impressive Application
Comment: Having been forced by health issues to watch the nutritional value of the food I eat, I am already finding that this product makes that job a whole lot easier. There is a lifetime supply of new recipes to try included with the program, but the biggest advantage to me is the breakdown of sodium, fat, cholesterol, sugar and other nutrients included with each recipe and the program's ability to extrapolate this information from recipes I enter myself.
In a household of two, there isn't much need to make a recipe that serves 50, but with MasterCook's ability to scale a recipe, a smaller version of the recipe can be prepared with ease, allowing the recipes to be used in suitable proportions. This product is worth far more than I paid for it!

Summary: Not great software
Comment: I have had both the 7.0 and 8.0 versions of this software, and was duly unimpressed with both. It is loaded with LOUSY recipes, the search function is awkward, the software runs slowly, backups are unreliable and, the thing that irritated me most, the nutritional analysis of recipes was always WAY off. Either it didn't recognize half the ingredients in the recipe or it was just plain old unable to calculate the values. I thought that perhaps the 8.0 version would have worked out the bugs from 7.0, but I was wrong. I just purchased Cook'n software and so far it appears to be far superior.

Summary: mastercook deluxe 8.0
Comment: This is a horrible program,it is not user friendly. For a recipe program pictures are very helpful. Whoever thought picture weren't necessary for a recipe was an idiot. I wish I had known this before purchasing this product. Waste of time and money

Summary: It isn't just software, it is a hobby!
Comment: I've been using Mastercook software for about six years. This is the 4th version I've purchased. I'm totally pleased with 8.0, and have had no problems upgrading the previous versions and integrating the old cookbook collections into the newer program. What I like best about this program is that I can enter the ingredient "scallops" and pull up dozens of recipes and select one based on what is in my pantry. (I've never had much luck planning meals in advance). I do not find the software buggy or difficult to use at all. I've also used it to load recipes onto my Dell Axim PDA (handy when at the grocery store). I've had no difficulty printing recipes onto paper or index cards. After you try a recipe, you can annotate it with comments. Better yet, I even take digital photos of some dishes (like the Christmas duck I made) and add them to the recipes. To the extent there are recipes in the collection that are not appealing, simply delete them! I like having a growing family cookbook which I can print for my kids someday!
