- I'm looking for software to maintain a recipe data base and am looking
- for recommendations (or anti-recommendations). Things that are important
- to me are :
- searching for recipes based on ingredients (eg. I feel like making
- something with jalapeno peppers in it, and have it pop up a list),
- searching for recipes based on time (eg. I get home late and want to
- find what I can make in 15 minutes or less),
- has room for lots of my own recipes.
- imports from other files easily (ie. can I grab stuff from the net and stuff it in there?)
-
- I don't care if it comes with many recipes to start with.
- Nor do I care if it can scale recipes from 1 to 999 people (I can do
- arithmetic!)
-
- I am running DOS with Windows 3.1, and have seen several possible
- products, unfortunately most of them are not windows based. The ones
- I am considering (only because they are available here) are:
- Micro Kitchen Companion
- Micro Cookbook
- and some other one with a similar name I can't remember
-
- any comments for or against, or further recommendations would be
- appreciated.
