 I need recipe writing info, help! I would like to put all of my recipes on a disk or program. I do not know how I can do this efficiently and also professionaly. Right now I have them in microsoft word. I know that their has to be an easier way. Can anyone tell me of a program or some software I can get to make this possible. Thank you very much. I am willing to share my many many recipes with whomever wants them  |

 I personally would stick to WORD! I know it takes longer, but I haven't found a program that really gives you the room you need for most recipes.... and you are locked into their format, so if you want to say, give instructions for a dipping sauce to go with that chicken, you need to open a new recipe file and can't attatch the 2..... So if you find one that is super great and gives you lots of freedom, let me know! |

 Try http://www.resortsoftware.com/ That will help you to nest rscipes. I found that this particular program doesn't work for my needs, but it might work for yours. I am going to check out Mastercook 6.0. Thanks!

| A note on Mastercook. It lets you put a previously written recipe as an ingredient. For example: Basil Scallion Frittata with a Bell Pepper Italian Sausage Sauce. Type the Sauce recipe first (lets you access it for other recipes and ingredient searches this way). Then when typing in the Frittata recipe type in the "1" "batch" "name of sauce". If you are using the nutritional calculations (beware--they can be off) and the grocery list features, it combines ingredients from both recipes. I have to say I have most of my recipes on it and am happy with the functions (I have problems with emailing on it...) I also have all the B&B recipes on it, good, standardized printings --now if it would only do plate diagrams...

| I also use it as a quick guide to finding which recipe book or magazine a particular article or recipe (that I know I will want 3 weeks from now) is. I type in the recipe name, attribute it to Gourmet, July '98. And there you go--I run into my library and know exactly where to find it instead of having to flip through who knows how many books or magazines.

| Wow, I have been searching hard for the perfect program for my recipes, and finally discovered one today. Check it out: http://www.primasoft.com/rpo.htm If this isn't your cup of tea, take a look at www.culinary.com . They have a link called 'software' towards the bottom of the main page, and that will hook you up with dozens of other options. Good luck!

| Are you familiar with Access? It's a bit daunting if you aren't but once you have the confidence to learn it it's really quite simple. I'm in the process of designing my own database too. Access is the best option, offering you more flexibility than any other program. If you are serious about your recipes, it might be worth a look... |
