^C^1DISKETTE COOKBOOK
^Cfrom
^CVanilla Software
One of the uses proposed for personal computers during the home computer
craze a few years ago was storing recipes. This craze fizzled after a while,
and most people seemed to be satisfied keeping recipes the old-fashioned way,
on paper cards and cookbooks.
Well, Vanilla Software is trying to bring back the concept of computerized
cooking with a series of disks full of recipes, and a user-friendly program to
present them. We have arranged with them to present a sampler from this
series. If reader response to this is favorable, you may see more recipe
samplers in future issues.
The Diskette Cookbook presenter has built-in instructions to help the user
make the most of it. It contains lots of powerful features to let you find
the recipe you want, adjust quantities to suit your needs, and generate a
shopping list. Information is also included on how you can purchase the full
Diskette Cookbook series, including the Cookbook Plus program, which allows
you to enter your own recipes.
Some of the recipes included this issue are Louisiana-style dishes from the
Southern Legacies cookbook. Our state's Cajun cuisine has become very popular
all over lately, and these recipes will let you sample gumbo, jambalaya, and
other red-hot dishes. Thank goodness we've got the local fire station right
across the street from our offices; you might need to extinguish a blaze in
your belly after tasting this food.
Also included is a sampler from the Any Time's a Party cookbook, containing
recipes for all occasions. This month it's time to get ready for St. Patrick's
Day with some Irish delights.
Note: Due to technical reasons, there is no Copyit option for this program,
so you will have to use DOS to transfer it to another disk.
To run this program outside BIG BLUE DISK, type ^1CB^0.
