Editor's review of Cook'n Recipe Organizer 6.998

5.0 stars

Whether you want to catalog your own recipes or gain access to a database of existing culinary delights, Cook'n Recipe Organizercan take care of the job. The interface is logically arranged and features menus, a planning tool, shopping lists, and large icons for recipes. The only problem we had with the program's design is you must create a cookbook and separate chapters to begin adding your own recipes. If you're looking for a new meal to prepare, the program comes with a large list of built-in recipes, ranging from holiday fare to dishes for diabetics. We especially liked the abilities to quickly calculate calories and nutritional information for all recipes in the database, as well as automatically generate a shopping list for a particular dish. We can see how both professional chefs and home-cooking hobbyists can benefit from what Cook'n Recipe Organizer has to offer.

"Very bad, cheap"

by marceloguerron on May 11, 2006

Pros: nothing

Cons: Cons: Skip over this for your recipe organizer. The GUI is bulky and not very intuitive. Windows within the program also 'disappear' completely if you make the mistake of minimizing them and that is with a 1280x1024 resolution too!!! I had to exit and re-open to find the windows again. It also comes riddled with options to buy all their CDs and DVDs and whatnot. Not even worth getting, as a freebie

"Half of what is advertized doesn't work..."

by ChelseaCarter29 on June 1, 2005

Cons: I needed to reformat my computer and was psyched that Cook'n had a backup feature... so I created their "backup file," reformated... and guess what - the backup feature doesn't even work, but it DOES shut down the program if you try to browse after the so-called backup! How convenient! All that time entering recipes into a difficult interface wasted...

"Great Interface, Very Easy to Use"

by subaruprincess on April 24, 2006

Pros: Very easy to organize recipes. Pretty much idiot-proof. Much better than other programs I've tried. Comes with quite a few recipe samples from their collection. Best recipe program I've used.

Cons: You have to order the CD version to get pictures of the included recipes. The separate collections which can be purchased online operate the same way. If you download them after purchase, they won't include pics. Only the CD version does. Only supports .BMP file format. A bit frustrating to have to convert my JPG to BMP format.

"Useful for the provided recipes, but the free download is limited in its use."

by cyates312 on September 4, 2005

Pros: This seems like a pretty useful program with lots of recipes already included.

Cons: The free download will only let you enter 4 or 5 of your own recipes and then you need to enter a password and purchase the full product (at a discount, at least.).

"Don't Bother, horrible GUI and disappearing windows"
