Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

A very long time ago I used Mastercook and then switched over to Living Cook because their software was so much easier to utilize. Then came the day when LC disappeared and I had nearly 2K of recipes that I could not access. I read that Mastercook would convert those recipes so I bought it. Big mistake. You have to send your recipes to their customer service department if the conversion process didnt work. It didnt. What a pain!! Then came the problem of trying to simply print out a recipe onto a 5x8 card. The convoluted steps I had to go through for each recipe has completely soured me on Mastercook. The best I could do for printing is portrait and I prefer landscape. I have been so completely disgusted by this software that I no longer try to use it for collecting recipes. Why bother. I just use it for the recipes that do not have nutritional information. So I am once more looking for new software.

Great product accompanied with even better customer support. Questions are answered within 24 hours with links to on line solutions and then followed up with e-mails. Couldnt ask for more.

An excellent program that is very well done. It arrived faster that expected.

I have been looking for something to replace MyRecipeBox on my iPad as I need something that has cross platform support and synchs my cookbooks between devices. I had high hopes for this product, as it has been around for many years and people seem to love it. I was utterly dismayed when I installed Mastercook 15 on my PC and launched it. The UI looks like something from the 1990s. The graphics are horrendous. It is kludgy to use, and NOT intuitive AT ALL. One would think Home would take you to your library of cookbooks, allow you to add/look up a recipe, maybe show some recent recipes that were accessed/added. You know. Those things that are the MOST COMMON, REGULAR tasks that you would want to do. But no...it takes you to a screen with links to uncommon/one time activities such as download the iOS mobile app, import from previous versions, create a Group Cookbook, and tutorials. Seriously??

THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM OUT THERE FOR SAVING RECIPES AND COOKBOOKS. IT IS SO SIMPLE TOUSE AND GRABBING RECIPES ON THE WEB IS A BREEZE. I HAVE OWNED ALL MASTERCOOKS PROGRAMS SINCE THEY CAME OUT YEARS AND YEARS AGO. AND I HAVE OVER 1,300 COOKBOOKS SAVED RIGHT NOW TO THIS GREAT PROGRAM. IT IS SO EASY TO SEARCH TO FIND A RECIPE ONCE YOU HAVE SAVED IT AND IT IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO PRINT A GROCERY LIST. I LOVE TAKING A NICE READABLE PRINT LIST TO THE GROCERY STORE. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS GREAT PROGRAM. I LOVE IT!!

I have used MasterCook since I first found a CD at a bookstore many years ago. I have always liked this product and found it to be incredibly useful.

I used a couple different versions of this software. Wanted to upgrade to the version. This was the previous version at a great price. So I got this instead. Now I will work on getting all my family recipes in once place. No more books, cards and sheets of paper or post it notes flying around. I can even scan the original recipe and store the picture in the recipe too.

Since this Software Program was taken over by its new entity. It IS the MOST frigged up Program, Ive ever experienced.

I have used Mastercook for close to 20 years. Every few years I have looked around at other software to see if anything better is out there. I even tried a couple that sounded promising but in the end I have always come back to Mastercook. In my opinion this is what sets them apart:

Meets all my expectations! Love that you can enter recipes directly from the Internet.
