Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

I did not purchase this program from Amazon but directly from MasterCook because of a sale not offered by Amazon. In that sense I am a verified buyer. The MasterCook software gets good reviews from almost every reviewer. It is truly full featured and has many templates and lots of recipes included.

Ive used MasterCook for many years and find it a terrific program to maintain my recipe collection. During holidays, its menu capabilities and shopping lists help me organize. A must buy.

love it, now I can work on my own cookbook

Premise of this software is great. However, the first year I had this all of the recipes I had hand typed into a cookbook that I created disappeared one day. Frustrating, but I figured ok - lets give this another go, it was an unfortunate mistake. Another years worth of recipes and today it happened again. I updated the program, opened it up and saw that my recipes were intact.... until I added one new recipe. Then, all of the recipes are gone and the new one I added was not even there. A completely empty cookbook again. Found the file, tried restoring to a previous version - nothing. Whoever creates this program has no idea how to design software - avoid like the plague.

I used MasterCook for years as a very happy cook. I think my original version was MasterCook 5. I saved ALL my grandmothers recipes on it. When this version came out it wiped every recipe I had saved for about 20 years from the storage unit. I am very sad. These can never be replaced I WOULD SUGGEST NO ONE BUYS THIS PROGRAM SINCE THEY DO NOT SAVE YOUR RECIPES. There was no respect for my years of work and the importance of saving the family treasures.

Love this program! Customer support is awesome, very quick to answer questions, and helpful!

Still trying to figure it out. Made the switch from Living Cookbook, since it seems to be a dead product. The nutritional database is poor. They use the USDA nutritional database, but the user is unable to manually update it - you have to wait for Mastercook to send an update, or buy the latest version.

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:

I used an earlier version for years, not sure I like the upgraded version as well, still like the nutritional part when i add my own recipies.

I have been using MasterCook for many years. My recent experience has been with the support team. I purchased MasterCook 15 and was also learning to use Windows 10. There were several issues I couldnt resolve on my own or with the written instructions. I contacted the support team through email and am infinitely satisfied with the help I received. Response was immediate and the person assigned to me stuck with me until all
