    RE: Big Oven for Mac

    We're always adding new features to the site, and though Ruby On Rails is a terrific framework, we use ASP.NET and the Microsoft app platform at present.  We plan to add several new features to the site over the coming year, though for competitive reasons, we won't be detailing them until they hit beta, as is our policy.

    Mac marketshare does continue to climb, which is great news, but it's still considerably in the single digits (e.g., this article suggests they were only seeing 3% or so of worldwide market share shipments last July, and since it has come up from many years past, they have a far smaller cumulative installed base.  However, the beloved Mac does continue to climb in market share, which is great to see).  Basically, while we really do love the Mac from a user standpoint, we're taking a wait-and-see approach for now, but could certainly see some dedicated development on it should the installed base share continue to climb very rapidly... but it'd need to go considerably north of where it is today.

    Re: RE: Big Oven for Mac

    Add me to the evergrowing list of Mac users who would LOVE to use Big Oven.  I was always a PC user and had recently found Big Oven after years of being happy with Mastercook.  The my PC died (again) and I finally decided to join the other team.  Only to find that my recently purchased gem of a cooking program wouldn't work!!!  I hope you will please start working on this soon! 
    thanks and happy holidays -

    Re: RE: Big Oven for Mac

    In theory, yes, it should run just fine.  However, this is an untested (and unsupported) configuration.  Note that www.bigoven.com is fully accessible from the Mac, though, and we do plan to add more and more power to the website over time.

    Re: RE: Big Oven for Mac question about mastercook?

     No Bob, we haven't.  (Sorry, but BigOven running on Windows emulators on the Mac is not a technically supported configuration; we cannot offer tech support on this usage, but other users have reported that it works just fine on Crossover for the Mac.)
