Rating: Summary: This is a great DOS application Review: This is the worst software I've seen. The interface looks like a DOS application. I'm sure it would have been a killer app 15 years ago but by today's standards it is very weak.There are a lot of recipes to be sure but I can't even recommend the content. When you consider there are other programs out there that have tons of food photos to go with the recipes, video clips, nutritional information, etc. a text-based database of recipes just doesn't compare...even if it is very large. I browsed the Casserole category and found 40 some odd thousand casserole recipes which is great (in an overwhelming way)...but the only way to navigate through them all was to click Next and Previous! I guess I could see the 40 thousandth one some time next week if all I did between now and then was click the Next button 40,000 times. I typed in some food names and searched by ingredient with similar results. Thousands of matches found...Next and Previous buttons to browse them all. ??? The software does not adjust serving sizes, plan menus, analyze nutritional value, e-mail recipes, etc. I guess I might recommend this to someone who was looking for a long lost recipe...but you can search for that for free right now using a thing called "the Internet." I can't see why anyone would recommend this software. But...that's just my opinion. I've tried some of the others like MasterCook and Cook'n. I prefer Cook'n but I'd recommend anything other than this.
