 Mom Loved the Program January 1, 2003
25 out of 26 found this review helpful
I got this for my mom as a Christmas present. She was looking for a way for storing her recipes on the computer. She loves how simple the program is to setup and get started. She set up her own cookbook with chapters she wanted and started adding recipes with 30 minutes.
WOW!! Thanks, DVO July 10, 2002

I absolutely LOVE this product! I searched the internet, searched Amazon, searched everywhere I could think of to find the best interactive recipe program and this out-weighed all the others BY FAR! So, I spent my hard earned money and bought it...I am IN LOVE! I don't cook a meal without referring to this program first! I have added GOBS of recipes to it already and have a stack of things I still want to put. I also have plans to order everything they put out!
If pressed, I would have to say that my favorite featur is the WONDERFUL help you get from the folks over at DVO. When I wanted to buy this I e-mailed their support system FIRST to see what it could do and couldn't...they replied within 12 hours the first time...then my normal curious self kept replying with new questions and they would answer immediately!! I haven't had a question since buying the program, but I KNOW they would jump up to answer if I did!
GREAT GREAT GREAT! Is 5 stars enough?
 Pretty good cookbook August 11, 2002

Well this is my first computer cookbook, and I'm a bit impressed but not overly so. 1, I still have not figured out how to make a shopping list based on weekly menu planning (one of the main reasons I bought this program) 2, the recipes do not include simple dishes that dont require a trip to the spice aisle, I attempted to use their feature which tells you recipes to do with what ingrediants you have in your kitchen... yah right. I couldnt find that feature either. 3) the helpful hint videos are a joke, unless you have 2-3 hours to play cook and are really worried about clarifying butter, or how to make fluffy pastry dough. Oh and forget trying to print these recipes to any standard recipe card... nooo you have to buy their special recipe cards or print on a 8 1/2 x 11Now for the good things. The recipes I was able to try without a [$$$] grocery bill in spices were very good, and didnt require me in the kitchen forever. The photos are nice, and the selection of recipes isnt bad. I'm half tempted to write a software cookbook myself for idiots like me who want quick easy recipes without a lot of fluff. If this really such a difficult concept for cookbooks. We're not all cooking for sunday after meeting brunch, nor are we cooking for the church social all the time. Sometimes screaming kids want food and want it now... and parents want to feed wholesome nourishing, interesting food.

I have been using this program daily for the last 6 months. I have 7 books and hundreds of chapters. I have added over 3,000 recipes.Don is not the best for tech support. On my own, I figured that if you have a 'Windows' keyboard, there is a key in the bottom right of the type writter keyboard; it has an arrow and three lines, the first of which is highlighted. Wneh you are on the Internet, yuo can use this key to copy recipes and paste them in the software!...

HOME COOKS ONLY NEED APPLY. THE PROGRAM NEEDS REVAMPING BECAUSE THE TIPS (HOW TO CHOP AN ONION) DO NOT RECYCLE, SO THE DOZEN OR SO HINTS LIKE THAT ARE THE SUM TOTAL: IF YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HAND SLICING CABBAGE, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. THE RECIPES ARE FROM AVERAGE HOMEMAKERS' KITCHENS, SUCH AS A YOUNG NEIGHBOR. IF YOU HAVE ANY AMOUNT OF COOKING EXPERIENCE, OR HAVE EVER ENJOYED GOURMET RESTAURANTS, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE PROGRAM TO BUY. ONE RECIPE CALLED FOR CRUSHED SALTINE CRACKERS, AND BOTTLED SAUCE. YUKK! 'NUFF SAID!
