What is Computer Cuisine?

Computer Cuisine is a Macintosh™ file for use with FileMaker® Pro, by Claris® Corporation.  This template will allow you to conveniently view, print, sort, file, organize and save your cooking recipes.  It’s features include a well designed layout that makes adding, viewing, sorting, finding and printing a snap.  In addition to the simple layout, Computer Cuisine allows you to add an infinite number of your own recipes to the existing ones.  This will allow your recipe database to grow and grow!

Buttons are added to the bottom of the layout for added convenience.  For example, you can sort all of your recipes with the click of your mouse.  Computer Cuisine will then alphabetically sort your recipes by the type of food;  much like any normal cookbook you may own.  And with the extensive search capabilities already built into the program, you will now be able to search through all of the entered recipes with the touch of a button! You don't even have to know the exact name of the recipe, or ingredient.

Computer Cuisine also makes printing your recipes a snap!  With the simple "Print" button placed at the bottom of the layout, you can print your recipes in one stroke.  Also, you don't have to worry about recipes that are too long, or take up too much space.  There are scroll bars that are placed at the end of both the "Ingredients" and the "Method" boxes that will allow you to enter in an enormous amount of text.  However, this text will not be "cropped" when printed.  Computer Cuisine will use the full paper size of (8 1/2 "x 11") for printing, to ensure an adequate amount of printing space.
