Excel/Word Recipe template

Thread Starter 
Just like the title implies, I'm looking for a standard reciple template to use inputing my recipes on to the computer. I have a huge stack of papers/napkins/order checks/etc.. with recipes written down from all the past restaurants I've worked at. I don't want to misplace them so I thought getting them on the computer would be a good idea.

Thanks in advance.

- Mike


P.S. I hope this is the right sub-forum. If not, feel free to move it.

I've not seen one for Excel. I have one at home in MS Works. I'll have to check if it is actually Works, or if it is Word.

I have one that my students use. I can email you the template (Word) when I get back to school on Monday. PM me with your email address and I will forward.

I would be interested in that template as well if it wouldn't be too much trouble (am I overstepping?). My husband recently told me I need to start saving all my recipes on the computer instead of scribbling them on the back of order lists or emailing them to my mother in law for safe keeping. LOL

Also a program called MasterCook. It's pretty inexpensive. What I use both at home and at work.

templates

I'll send you one in excel but like mentioned before your better off getting mastercook its about $12 with out any bells or whistles and can scale recipes, do nutrition and costing very easily (im not on my home computer now)

even easier to work with than cheftech a $600 program

go to a dept store with the discount racks of old computer programs and they will normally have some version even if its with a cookbook for some diet or something just get it and install it you see how easy it is

Or, you can just order MasterCook from amazon.com. For its price, it's a **** good program.

The Microsoft Office site has templates - I've downloaded them for Access recipes so there must be some for Word/Excel; http://office.microsoft.com IIRC, follow the Download links.

I use Pro Chef Plus by UtilitySoft....a program written by a chef for a chef to use....and quite inexpensive as well....it exports easily into mastercook, word, excel, etc. Has the occasional bug in it, but updates are free for it and they are constantly coming out. Can download your order guide into it from your purveyors as well and do inventory on it. Quite handy little program.

master-cook

Master cook is my chose as well. It also sits in your tool bar and lets you pull recipes of the web with ease.

I'd love a copy of that, Jim if the offer is still available.  I'll PM you my email address.

There are several Excel Recipe Templates created for chefs at the Chef's Resources site.  They include a tutorial on how to make the recipe scalable, as well as working as a costing template.

Hi Jim,

 

Could you please send me a copy of the word template. I have been looking for one EVERYWHERE online! My grandma would like to put together some recipes and use up some of that spare time :)

 

Thanks in advance
