Default Recipe software

Any advice on recipe software for Windows?
I looked at MasterCook v.9.0. Had some bad reviews though.
Thanks,
Joe

I've tried a couple of different programs and haven't been satisfied with any of them. That was a few years back now so they've probably improved some. But it comes down to a word processor being the most friendly, portable, most compatible and cheapest.

All opinion of course.

Thanks for the reply, phatch.
I just downloaded Recipe Software
30 day free trial
I'll try it out and post the results.

An opinion shared by at least one other person on this forum. I've got more than a thousand recipes on the 'puter, and can find any of them with a simple search on an ingredient, author, date, time, etc., even in zipped and compressed files.

Plus it makes wending recipes to friends or place like the forum very simple - no need to convert formats. It's a simple copy and paste job, or less depending on where the recipe's going.
