Download/HomepageCuisine is a database program for storing and
organizing recipes. It enables you to quickly type
in any cherished family favourites, or those tempting ones in
magazines that you cut out and
then lose. Also you can import recipes in Meal Master format. It
has a simple Windows interface, and the features include a neat
little meal planner, which allows you to select all the recipes
for a meal, and then produce a shopping list which can be printed
out.
You can organize all your recipes into cookbooks, and each one
has categories, which can be
either your own choice such as "Mexican" or the default
list. This means you can find a recipe
with ease, no matter how big the data base gets. All the
functions are clear and easy to
understand, in plain English, with a good Help facility.
Cuisine has a couple of shortcomings. Firstly it is American -
the most used measurement is a
cup, which makes it fairly useless for any other country in the
world. Secondly it is boring.
One of the real pleasures of a cookbook is the colour pictures of
how the dish should look when
you have finished, both for the sheer aesthetic pleasure and to
guide you when preparing it.
However Cuisine is sold as a database, not a cookbook, so for
American cooks with lots of
drawers stuffed with magazine cut-outs, it is a useful and well
designed little programme.
After 30 days of free evaluation the programme will nag you
incessantly to buy it or delete it,
which is after all only fair.
