RecipeMaster

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffMarch 22, 2006This nicely designed program stores recipes and allows you to share them via e-mail. RecipeMaster's well-organized interface displays recipe categories on the left with entries displayed on the right. You'll first have to open Cookbook Manager to choose one of the two preloaded cookbooks to see recipes. You'll find five folders: Categories, Ingredients, Country, Recipes, and Favorites. A simple but effective search tool is offered. Recipes can be imported and exported in several formats and, with configuration, can be sent via e-mail. You can add or modify categories, ingredients, and units of measurement, but the program lacks features such as a meal planner or shopping-list manager commonly found in similar applications. At first, it seems as if the promised Favourite Wines, MealMaker, and Conversion features weren't included in the program, because you have to maximize the window to see those icons. Still, RecipeMaster has most of the basics down and it's offered free of charge.
