CDA Electronic Publishing's BOOK-ON-DISK collection is designed
to follow the natural path that you may take when planning a
meal, selecting wines, or putting together a travel itinerary.
Like a cookbook, this COOKBOOK-ON-DISK features complete recipes
from one or more leading chefs. But, unlike a cookbook, each
recipe in this collection is part of a growing base of thousands
of recipes, each cross-referenced by hundreds of planning terms
plus every ingredient in the recipe -- not four or five items
like some other products on the market.
To you, the cook, this means the ultimate in speed and
flexibility while planning a meal for family, friends and guests.
Each BOOK-ON-DISK is complete and ready to run. No additional
software is required. The following chapters provide detailed
directions to help you get the most out of this disk.
Each BOOK-ON-DISK is also part of a much larger collection that
can be merged and/or cross referenced as a whole, made possible
by your personal computer and CDA's library manager, Micro
Kitchen Companion.
This title, like all others in CDA's collection, is a special
set of text and data files. The accompanying integral program
lets you automatically work with the entries in these files --
the recipes -- in many useful ways. As with a book, you can
browse at your leisure, recipe by recipe, through an instant set
of five alphabetical indexes. But unlike a book, these indexes
change whenever you make changes to the recipes inside.
You can also leaf through this BOOK-ON-DISK, recipe by recipe.
But more often, you'll choose your own path by defining the
recipes you want using a virtually limitless combination of key
words, preparation time, and lists of ingredients.
And, you'll talk back to these books. Change them to suit your
needs. Enter dietary restrictions. Adjust for tempermental ovens.
Or instantly calculate the amount of each ingredient needed for
the number of servings you desire.
Other features let you print every recipe, and sets of recipes
on almost any printer, create simple shopping lists, and more.
The following chapters detail each of these uses. In writing
them, we have assumed that you know the principles and procedures
for your computer's operating system (DOS). We have also used the
convention of calling the complete set of recipes in this title a
"FILE". In fact, this set consists of seven or more computer
files, each with a particular purpose. We have designed the
program to let you work with a single name, however, and the rest
of the associated files will tag along.
The program on this disk, CBOOK is a comprehensive system
designed to work with one BOOK-ON-DISK at a time. As you work
with and enjoy your new BOOK-ON-DISK you may think of other uses
and ways of combining recipes, reorganizing, or editing not
covered in this program. You may also want to create your own
recipe disks, or cross-reference your own written or electronic
collection. If so, we would like to suggest that you try CDA's
advanced recipe and menu planning system, the Micro Kitchen
Companion.
MICRO KITCHEN COMPANION is a complete library manager for your
BOOK-ON-DISK collection. With it, you gain complete flexibility
and control over your collection. Create and store meals by name
for later retreival -- as a caterer might -- using a combination
of any of the thousands of recipes in our collection with as
little as one disk drive. Build your own recipe disks or
cross-references with advanced FASTRAC data entry techniques.
Instantly assemble detailed shopping lists, organized by store
aisles if you like, electronically. And, make full use of hard
disks, RAM disks, and other technical enhancements.
MICRO KITCHEN COMPANION ties your collection together and
provides complete freedom in expanding, moving and sharing your
recipes. It grows with you as your computer knowledge and
aquisitions grow, too.
This program is not copy protected, to allow you to install it
on a hard disk, and to make backups easily. We work hard to keep
the quality of these products high and to keep the price fair.
Please help us by using any copies for personal archive purposes
only, so that we can continue to produce an honest product at an
honest price, for your enjoyment.
