You can combine the searching ability of Mangia! with recipe files to create your own cookbooks, say for all broccoli recipes, French desserts, or your Aunt Mildred’s favorites (as dutifully noted in your Ratings records). The procedure is straightforward:
• Choosing New on the File menu, create a new recipe file named after your cookbook-to-be.
• Use either of the Recipe Finders, together with the Recipe Browser, to find recipes that "fit" the cookbook.
• Copy and Paste the recipe titles you select into your file; Mangia will link the recipe references to the originals.
• With the recipe file's window frontmost, choose Print from the File menu. Select Print Recipes (as opposed to Print List of Recipes).
To create a cookbook on a theme, you can describe the theme using one of the Recipe Finders. Say it's "Chinese salads." Into the Nationality area of either Recipe Finder, type "Chinese.” In the Recipe Browser, check List Matches Only, make sure that the Course tabs are up, and click on Chinese. There are your Chinese salads.
If you want to collect your favorite recipes, when you find a recipe that you want to remember, open the recipe to edit its Ratings. Create a new checkbox Rating (select the last item on the Pick Rating pop-up menu) and call it <Your Name Here>'s Favorite. Adding that Rating to any recipe (then, of course, checking the box) will mark it for later. You'll only need to include that Rating in the Full Recipe Finder, and you'll get back all the recipes that you marked (assuming that the files containing them are checked off in the Recipe Browser—click on Pick Cookbooks to make sure).
