BigOven Recipe Software, by Lakefront Software, Inc. is wonderful software for doing everything with recipes.
It's an impressive piece of software, and if you're into cooking like I am,you're going to want to check it out for yourself. The program makes it easy to enter your personal recipes. This is great for your own use, but it's also helpful for sharing your recipes with family and friends. The program is very easy-to-use and I think it's perfect for both new and experienced users.
One of my favorite features is the grocery list. Don't you hate it when you go to cook something and you're missing a couple key ingredients? Well, not with BigOven Recipe Software. All you do is drag and drop a recipe onto the grocery list and the program makes you a grocery list! Ahhh, but it gets even better. The program just doesn't give you any old list, it even sorts it for you by aisle of your store.
All of this, to me, would be worth the cost, but there's still more. The program makes it a snap to deal with quantity issues. Have a recipe that serves four, but today you have to serve 24? The program figures it out for you. You can mark recipes that you want to try, create meal plans, and get new recipes from the huge online database. Want to share your Grandma's banana bread recipe? You can doit online and do it easily.
I've looked at other recipe programs, but to me BigOven is the best.
For that reason, it's not only a Pick, but also a Dr. File Finder Favorite, and those are few and far between. So, if you like to cook, this is a program you owe it to yourself to try, and buy! My highest recommendation.
