Living Cookbook is a comprehensive cookbook and recipe organizing program with emphasis on nutritional analysis. Its language is technical, but you will be able to accomplish just about anything when it comes to archiving recipes.

The recipe manager is divided into 10 different sections, click between the tabs to access each section. You can use Recipe, Ingredients, Procedure, Nutrition, Tips, Reviews, Techniques, Media, Author and Capture. Use this section to add a recipe or edit a recipe after you have made it.

Other features include a meal planning calendar, cookbook publishing, nutritional analysis, menus, an ingredient database, a pantry, grocery lists, Web integration, a reference library, a powerful search engine, an integrated spell-checker, and the ability to import and to export, to clone recipes, to customize recipe views, to backup, and to restore. It comes with more than 1,000 free recipes, a help file, tutorials, and demo animation.

Even kitchen novices will feel like master chefs after using the encyclopedic Living Cookbook. A battery of recipes is here, of course, offering detailed ingredients, instructions, and even images. An integrated calendar is helpful for menu planning, too. But most notable is the comprehensive glossary offering up insight into arcane cooking terms and data. You even can edit entries if your kitchen tests reveal necessary tweaks or tips. Printing and sharing tools also are handy.

For the money this is the best around. It is easy to use, I start with a cookbook, make a chapter in it and then sub the chapter into different parts(i.e. chicken, pork, fish or meat). Coping a recipe is fast. Capture, paste and use the side bar to highlight the different parts of the recipe and save. You can go back in and edit cooking times, ingredients, procedures and photos any time you want. The software uses all type of photo files. A few I have you can only use one type of file. The tutorials are great and so easy. I am one of those people that prints out the whole tutorial so I can go through it before I try things. The help files are great. Oh!!! the money I would have saved. You can add techniques to show how to do what you want and link to the recipe. I decorate cakes and this just makes it easier. You can use the 30 day free trial to see if you like this software. After going through the tutotials I bought it the next day. I am not sorry and hope you give it a try. You will love it.
