This is a software for you to put in your own recipes. Exactly what I was looking for. Left side is for ingredients and the right side is your instructions for the recipe. You create your own index, chapters, as many as you want and you can even put a photo with the recipe. Very user friendly. Everything is right there. Click this, type in what you want. Click that, type in what you want. You can copy and paste a recipe and photo from any website and paste it in your cookbook. I have NO patience for computers and this was extremely easy to do. Customer Service, via email is the best. Every question I asked was answered promptly.I cannot say enough about the service that goes with this software. I am having so much fun putting in my recipes through this software. You gotta get this software!

This software is very easy to use and I like the fact that I can sort my own recipes. I find the only thing it is missing so far is shortcuts for more fractions.

After many years of collecting recipes and particularly wanting to preserve special ones from past family members, I experimented with several trial versions of recipe software. I was not particularly pleased with any considering the high price. How fortunate to have found Home Cooking though I first I thought it might not be suitable considering the reasonable price! How wrong I was. This software is GREAT and I've recommended it to others wanting to preserve their own recipes. It is EASY to use, easy to upload PHOTOS, easy to CATEGORIZE, easy to CUSTOMIZE with my own chapter titles. I even include Household Tips & Homemade Remedies, Beauty Secrets, Cleaning tips and other such information I want to find quickly when needed. I really do like this software and want to print my own cookbook to share with family & friends one year for Christmas. It is also easy to save to flash drive when visiting others for whom I may want to cook or share. You will not regret the purchase!
