Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

Im not as enthusiastic about this program as so many others here. It looks very rudimentary compared to similar programs. It works, but the way it is set up it looks like something from the early 90s, which is pretty much the stone age for software. I had a problem where the program became corrupted somehow. It was working fine one day and wouldnt boot the next and I hadnt done anything in the meantime. Luckily I had only started to use it, but I would be very annoyed if I had a lot of recipes loaded already. Tech support did answer me and told me to delete it and reload which I had already done. When I asked if they knew why this happened because I didnt want to lose recipes again they blamed me for not waiting until talking to them first. Huh? I did exactly the same thing they told me to do and lost the recipes. I thought their response was a bit snippy, but at least they did answer me in a timely manner. I would not buy this program again though.

The gift was well received .

I am so happy to be returning to MasterCook. The program is easy to use, has everything I need, and the customer service is prompt. I needed help converting my recipe files from another recipe program to MasterCook. Pam Erickson, from customer service, has been very patient and her directions have been easy to follow.

This offers more possibilities and learning than previous versions. It is quite easy to use. I use it to store and share many old family favorites.

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.

I found absolutely nothing new about and in some ways, its more difficult to make even the most basic changes to recipes.

24 5-star reviews? Clearly paid reviews. You can tell from the verbiage.

This program allows you to share a group cookbook. My program doesnt work. Heres the response to my problem from the Technical Support supervisor:

This Computerized format for organizing my recipes for my family has proven to be very effective. I have looked into it, and most companies want you to purchase several copies for resale to others for a profit, but I have just been interested in putting some old recipes from my family together in a format that would allow me to print them out and put in a binder of my choice, and create as many as 1 or more without having to sign a contract for 100 or more for publishing. Very easy to navigate within formats provided and can plug nutritional information and other pertinent information on each recipe. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a small version or prototype without publishing. Very Nice ..
