Search by Prep Time

akaelo — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:14:13 GMT

When I am deciding what to cook, the first two things I think about are how much time I have and what I have on hand. I like that I am able to easily find recipes that use a particular main ingredient, but I really need to be able to filter based on how much time I have to prepare a recipe. I'd really like to make much better use of the Prep Time & Cook Time data that's hidden under ratings. Right now I have a work around that uses tags - I have tags called <15 prep, <30 prep, etc. that I check off for each recipe. This is cumbersome and annoying though, considering the timing information is already entered for many recipes that I import!

So far I like the software! I'm looking forward to future improvements. Thanks in advance

Importing from Now You're Cooking

Is it possible to easily import recipes from Now You're Cooking? If so, can I import an entire cookbook rather than one recipe at a time?

Thanks!

One recipe - multiple recipe boxes

DigbyDave — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:44:39 GMT

Chocolate cookies - hmm the Chocolate recipe box or Cookie recipe box? Linking a single recipe to multiple recipe boxes. Is it possible without duplication? Guess not as each recipe box is it's own DB.

Spell Check

DigbyDave — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:08:03 GMT

Looking through the forum of feature requests it seems that people have been asking for spell check for over 2 years. Why hasn't it happened yet? It can't be that difficult. I even have spell check while typing this with the browser I am using. There are plenty of PD spell check engines out there that could be incorporated. Other than that, I love the program - just thought of another thing, right mouse click support for highlighted text - the new standard in selecting text for copy/paste/cut maybe lookup etc. And a section break in the method area maybe like the header line in ingredients so that sections of prep can be separated.

Why can't we add videos we like on BiGOven to our page like we can the photos and recipies...you know like adding them to our favorites list?

Re: App for G1 Phone with Android?

I've been a MasterCook user for about 10 years, but the software that gets the Android app first will be my choice. I'm on a T-mobile MyTouch.

Lost custom tags after an update.

I did the update to the recent version, where I need to uninstall and then install the recent version. After that I lost all of my custom tags. I did a backup but it is only for recipes, please add the settings and custom items to this backup process. It is not fun to try to find all of the custom tags and then create them.

Export Menus

Love, love, love the program. One feature that would be very beneficial for me is to be able to export the calendar so I can import into outlook or google calendar programs. Thanks

Printing a recipe

rrosenwald — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:28:07 GMT

It would be nice if there were a PRINT IMMEDIATELY feature that simply printed the current recipe on the default printer. Right now it is Print->Preview and Print->Print Preview->Print->Printer dialog. It is a 5 step process to print a recipe.

DASH Diet support

antsybunch — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:01:22 GMT

I would really be able to use BigOven a lot more in my houshold if it supported DASH Diet menu planning. In this lifestyle/diet I often need to add a large number of individual plain whole foods to my menues. I realize that your purpose is to make shopping list for the recipes but it would be EXTREMELY helpful if I could also add individual items like, "8 grape tomatoes" or "1 small peach" to my menu. When I am planning so very many produce items in my menues, the fact that I can only schedule recipes per-se makes the menu feature all but useless to me. As a busy mother of 9, I don't have time to plan my menues on Big Oven just to have to revamp the entire thing in order to add my individual items and portions.

Items that I would need to enter individually in my menu would include: produce items, dairy items (milk, yogurt, and some cheeses), whole grains (like hot cereals) etc. I also use measured quantities of things like dry cereals and such.
