Customer Reviews

Great product from a great company.
I've been very pleased with my Cook'n software so far. Browsing recipes is quick, and I especially like the search feature where you type in ingredients and it finds all the matching recipes. I also like looking through the pictures of the Betty Crocker recipes. It's helpful to see how a dish will look before making it. The menus and shopping list features are fun because it will tell you what you need to buy, although the pricing information doesn't seem quite accurate. I was also delighted to find that there are additional recipe sets that are available from the company for download or on CD. They have lots of cooking related stuff, and are very friendly and helpful, based on the response to some questions I emailed to them.

Not a good program if you want to add your own recipes
I was very disappointed when I tried to add my own recipes -- the only reason I bought the software. If you do not add chapters in alphabetical order, you cannot alphabetize later. The "enter" key does not advance to the next box when adding ingredients, you must use the arrow keys which is time consuming and annoying. I was unable to abbreviate words like tablespoon, teaspoon or pound. I purchased this software to replace 5 year old software -- think I'll go back to the old stuff, it's much better suited to my needs.

Nice program, easy too
I'm not a computer person, but I received this from my husband for Christmas and I really like it. The Betty Crocker recipes are nice (pictures too), and I'm also using it to keep my own recipes on the computer.

The program is nice and straightforward, and the recipes are organized into cookbooks and chapters. Adding recipes is easy because it will fill in the ingredients as you type, so it goes fast. I had a few questions at first, but their tech support was great (I spoke to a real person!) I also like the printing options, although they need to add a print preview feature.

Once I learned the basics, I was surprised at how much flexibility there is. You can add ingredients, do shopping lists, menus, and even plan out 6-months or more. Overall, I recommend it especially if you have tons of recipe cards and scraps of paper all over the place!
