Summary: how did you get it to work with XP?
Review: I agree, it's a great software, but after having updated to XP I have been unable to load the software. If you were successful, could you please let me know if there are any tricks? Sierra told me it was not compatiable with XP and there were no plans to update.

Summary: MasterCook is an excellent program...
Review: I am a housewife and I also have a small catering service. I received this at my wedding shower a few weeks ago. I was very disorganized and often could not find the recipe I was looking for among my stacks of cookbooks and recipe boxes. I still mostly use my own recipes but this has been good for organizing my things and I have found some dishes in here that I really like to make at home. I definitely recommend this product for anyone.

Review: I bought this for my mother to get her recipes in order. It is an amazing piece of software!!! The searches, the ingredient list, the nutrition info, ingredient linking...all just very nice. Now, if only they could make it recognize voice so I could be done typing in recipes!!!
A++++

Review: I have Master Cook 5.0 and am very satisfied with this comprehensive software so I upgraded to Master Cook 6.0. The search feature is MUCH faster! I love the videos and the ability to create a shopping list. There is also a web-based newsgroup to assist with technical support, share recipes, talk about the software, etc... Wonderful stuff!!BTW - Usually Amazon.com is cheaper than buying directly from the product websites. I was about to purchase this software from Amazon, but something told me to check the Sierra Home website for a purchase price. Sierra is selling this product for ... and also has a place to click to find the ... rebate. Total ... -- so in this case, you can get it cheaper by buying directly from the Sierra website.

Summary: Mastercook - The bottom line.
Review: I just bought Mastercook, The Complete Suite, Featuring Betty Crocker Recipes, and I love it. I've just spent the last 2 hours.. pouring through the recipes.. figuring out how to work the program. It gives you your own favories.. your own cookbook, it has 26 cookbooks already.. just to start. I love that it'll give the nutritional values and let you edit the recipes so that you can add notes.. I like to substitute ingredients sometimes, so that's a great feature. I also love that it has a grocery list. You can just pick out your menu for the week, then with a click.. you've just made out your shopping list.. So Cool.. :) Thank you Mastercook and Sierra..

Review: I was disappointed to learn that this product will not work on Windows XP. As I looked into the matter, I discovered that Sierra is discontinuing their MasterCook line. Very disappointing.

Summary: It's good for beginners
Review: I'm new to cooking so I wanted to buy some cookbooks that would show me the basics as well as give me some variety to choose from. I would have had to buy several books that would have amounted to a lot of money. This software is great because it has so many recipes to choose from and they are so easy to find. This is a really wise investment for a beginer cook because it puts so much valuable information right at your fingertips. The only thing I would have changed is the organization. It can be a bit confusing when you first start using the software. Once you're used to it you'll find the information is worth the effort you have to make at the beginning navigating around. Also, for those who do not want to have 1000 cookbooks hanging aroung their kitchen, this works out really well. Everything is stored in your computer. There is no clutter.
