Hi,
I went down the same road. I found a couple of programs, shareware I think, but they all seem to be tediously complicated. As with all costing it's inputting the data that takes the time. I ended up just keeping a database of recipe references. My cookery book library is huge. I can't see the point of typing in recipes from a book.
I actually wrote a program to cost recipes. It had 1100 ingredients the prices of which had to be kept up to date to be of any use. It's a DOS prog but will run in Windows. Just ask.
Shareware sites for you to try.
