Recipe Keeper Plus

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffMarch 3, 2013The main problem with this program is its name, which implies an emphasis on recipe collection. Instead, Recipe Keeper Plus is a hodgepodge of options that include viewing recipes, playing games, and creating an annual budget. The recipe interface is functional but unappealing, with buttons to add, search, and modify entries and pull-down menus for recipes. It includes a basic Food Guide with suggested menus, and simple tools like a Menu Planner and Shopping List Manager. Import and export options are limited to one file type. You'll also find a journal, database of quotes, budget management tools, and other features that can be fun but are unrelated to cooking. While nothing is really wrong with Recipe Keeper Plus, nothing is really great about it either. There's a 15-day trial limitation. Anyone can use it, but recipe purists will want a more flexible application without the unnecessary add-ons.
