I'm hunting for FREE recipe software, or try before buy - shareware.
What do you use to save and catalog recipes?
My current method of saving recipes, is to use Windows Notepad and save recipe as text file. I then save them in the appropriate folder, i.e. Poultry, Seafood, Soup-Chowders, etc.
The problem is my recipe collection is growing, and I want to add features like:
- images of the food, or the finished dish.
- hyperlink to other recipes or "how to" info,
- search capabilities
I used to use NYC "Now Your Cooking" software,
h t t p: / / w w w .ffts.com/info.htm (remove spaces)
even registered it, but that hard drive crashed and I stopped using it, about 3 or 4 years ago. NYC takes a serious commitment to use it properly, and has a ton of features.
I want something pretty simple, sort of a note system that allows pictures, and the few features I mentioned above.
I'm playing with TreeDBNotes-Free, and it may be the solution, but so far haven't found a way to import the several hundred recipes. Not sure the free version even allows that kind of import.
