"BigOven is
gaining a justified eminence in the area of cooking and recipe
software and the Web site has just added a new arm to its
spectacular recipe service -- the
Leftover
Wizard ... BigOven makes an investment in the software
most desirable for both dedicated and casual cooks. (It
even prepares your grocery shopping lists for you!)"

"This is a truly great product"
I have worked in software for a long time and it's rare that
I see something that I get really excited about. Big Oven is
a great product. (No, I don't work there or know anyone at
the company, I paid for it with my credit card just like
everyone else) I'm a big cooking fan and I've looked at all
kinds of different recipe software programs. I LOVE this
product. It's extremely easy to use and a wonderful solution
for the issue of finding on-line recipes that you can easily
download, use and organize on your local drive. The
searches, tools, shopping list, and interface is nothing
short of brilliant. Buy it, buy it, buy it. |

"Great recipe software"
BigOven is a must have in any serious kitchen. Developers
are extremely friendly and are always adding customer
requested features to an already comprehensive software. The
choice for recipe software is overwhelming and I tried at
least a dozen of them. This is the best there is.

"A PRINCE of a
Program!!"
Thank you BigOven! In my search for the ultimate home meal
management program, I kissed a lot of toads!!
I think I downloaded or read reviews on every
recipe and or nutrition program known to the internet...but each
one was missing something. I just knew there HAD to
be a program for today's MOM, Thankfully BigOven came my way!
The layout is very professional...very cute and easy to manage
without having to read a lot of help files. They start you
out with several recipes and you can either download more with a
direct import screen from their website (over 100,000 recipes)
or ... I can use their cut and paste screen to import web
recipes and easily by a click tab each piece of information to
file itself in the right place. VERY SHARP... As a
mom I want to ensure the nutritional content is the very best. I
can edit and link calories, fat , carbs etc. with a click...
This way I can get accurate carbs fat and calories for even my
own recipes (and believe me you will be surprised at how much
little stuff adds up!
...Will love the feature that in a click helps
you increase the recipe to plan our you OMC day!! Its well worth
the registration fee I have a feeling when this really hits the
market the price will go WAY up. For those hardcore home
managers...you can develop your own tagging system in the key
words area this enables you to pull it up in a moments notice..
(example I just put all my 300 calories per serving dishes in .
I go to keywords and tag them level 1...bam can instantly plan a
day within my calorie requirements with all recipes that fit
that data.) Very COOL! I'm just now learning all the odds and
ends but I have to say next to my Kitchenaid this is going to be
my most favorite tool to aid my effort in providing the very
best for my family. Great blessing for sure! Totally worth the
download.
"Great
software with awesome features"
I bought
this when I was looking for software to organize food for a 3
week honeymoon-backpacking trip. The way it helps you organize
recipes & shopping lists is incredible - it saved our wedding
day! Since I bought it, the functionality has only gotten better
& better. I found a few minor bugs, but I reported them and they
were fixed right away - within a day or two. Also, I suggested a
couple of features in the areas that were just a little
difficult to use, and they implemented them! How's that for
service! :) ...the functionality is AWESOME - and easy to use!
"One of a Kind!"
I've tried many computer based recipe organizers
and have never seen anything that remotly compares to BigOven.
It all has a "Automatic" look and feel as you go through and use
the program and has many 1-step approaches to getting what you
want done. Drag-and-Drop support and add-a-recipe online to your
personal collection with a simple button click. Also another
wonderful thing I like about BigOven is that they actually read
your suggestions for program improvement on their website's
message board and although I'm sure is not guaranteed, they've
actually implemented a couple of mine in a matter of days. If
your the average busy-bee American out there who would like to
organize your life in the kitchen without spending 3 or 4 hours
a day doing it, then this program is definitely for you. Give it
a test drive and you won't be disappointed; I wasn't!
