1000's of Free Recipes for Download!
Do you have the Deluxe Edition?
You can enjoy all these additional recipe boxes for
free!
BigOven InspiredCooking(tm) Deluxe
Customers: The recipe boxes in the first grid below are already included on your CD-ROM.
However, if you've purchased the Electronic Software Delivery (ESD)
version, we do not include all 70Mb of recipe boxes in your initial
download, just to keep download sizes smaller.
Recipe collections are stored in files called
"recipe boxes", and the core recipe box file has a .CRB
file extension.
Important: Be sure to save
these to the right folder so BigOven can find them!
BigOven is picky
about where recipe boxes must be located on your PC. (This is for performance
reasons, so BigOven doesn't have to scan your entire drive to build a list
of your available recipe boxes for you.)
Here's how to save them to the right location
when you add new recipe boxes to your PC:
- First, make sure that BigOven or BigOven
InspiredCooking Deluxe is installed, but not currently running.
- Look for your "My BigOven Recipes" folder. By default, it is
created in your "Shared Documents" folder; the full path to this
location is usually C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\All Users\Documents\My
BigOven Recipes for Windows XP. In Vista, it is
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My BigOven Recipes
- Take a moment to inspect the "RBox" subfolder
of your "My BigOven Recipes" folder that you found in the step above.
Note that for every recipe box, it contains a folder with the name of the recipe box, then the
recipe box file itself with a CRB extension, and a folder called
"Pictures". This is how all recipe boxes must be saved to your PC
for BigOven to be able to work with them. They are all at the same
"level", or depth, in the directory.
By building your own collection of recipe boxes,
you will always have quick and easy access to them, even when you're not
online. In BigOven, there is absolutely no limit to the
number of recipes that you can have in any single recipe box, unlike many
other programs. And BigOven's powerful searching makes finding
what you're looking for easy and fast.
To jumpstart your collection, check out the ready-to-import
recipes below.

Get all these recipes as a single download:
All
Deluxe Recipe Boxes (62Mb)
OR download individually (recipe boxes vary from 2-10Mb):
How to install these recipe boxes: Remember, first
exit out of BigOven for Windows. Then, simply download the
.zip file below, and extract the contents to your "My BigOven Recipes\RBox"
directory. The extraction process will unzip a ".CRB" file
(containing the recipes) and also create a "Pictures" subfolder under
that directory. (Running an earlier
operating system than Windows XP? Need an unzip utility?
You can try
WinZip for free.) |
