Features:
  • Easy to Use Interface - Home Cooking uses a simple tabbed interface that is easy to operate while providing all the features you use most. Within minutes you will be adding your own recipes, preparing grocery lists, and planning your meals for the upcoming weeks. Each screen is optimized to make every operation as effortless as possible, while not getting bogged down with seldom used options. You will feel right at home with the familiar style of a traditional cookbook. You can create as many chapters as you wish, and organize your recipes into the chapters you want them in. Home Cookin will keep everything sorted alphabetically so you can quickly browse through your collection, and find your favorites easily.
  • Easy Recipe Entry - Most cooking programs force you to use a "fill in the blanks" approach when you add new recipes. This limits flexibility and complicates recipe entry. Many common recipe conventions such as "2 to 3 cups" are difficult to accomodate and make you reformat the recipe to fit the programs available fields.
  • Import and Export Capabilities - Thousands of free recipes can be found on web pages, newsgroups, and various mailing lists. You can easily add these to your collection by importing them into Home Cookin. Most standard formats are supported including: Mastercook, Meal-Master, Big-Oven, Cookbook Wizard, From Scratch, From My Kitchen, Living Cookbook, Now You're Cooking, Recipe Processor, and Computer Chef.
  • Meal Planning - The meal calendar makes it easy to plan your upcoming meals. Locate your desired recipes, then add them to the calendar. Add personal notes if you plan on eating out, want to indicate a holiday, or to reference recipes in other cookbooks. When you are ready to prepare the meal, you can access the recipe quickly from the meal calendar.
  • Grocery Management - The Home Cooking grocery manager will make quick work of preparing your grocery shopping lists. Start a new list, select the items you need, and print. A cost estimate is calculated as you select each item, so you'll know ahead of time how much you'll be spending on your groceries. The printed list is compact and sorted by store and location to make your shopping trip as easy as possible.

This software is very easy to use and I like the fact that I can sort my own recipes. I find the only thing it is missing so far is shortcuts for more fractions.
