 Awarded with "5 stars Editor's choice!"
 
CookWare Deluxe Recipe Software for Mac or PC makes collecting and organizing recipes really easy.  Simply drag recipes from your Web browser or Word Processor directly into CookWare Deluxe, categorize it and you're finished! (What is drag and drop?)
 = Key Feature
Categorizing recipes makes it easier to group them together, easier to find, easier to create Menus. When you drop your recipes into CookWare Deluxe Recipe Software it automatically reformats ("cleans it up") stray characters and changes quantity abbreviations according to your preferences to make your collection of recipes consistent. 64 quadrillion recipes can be added to CookWare Deluxe. You can also add details such as a photo, substitutions, its source, notes, what beverage is a good accompaniment, etc.
 It's easy to get organized with the built-in Calendar to plan your meals. Plan for the Day, Week, Month in any given Year. Print the recipe titles as a Calendar to hang on the refrigerator, then print the recipes with an optional Shopping list.
Shopping lists are assembled simply by checkmarking the items you need, add non-food items, combine items, delete them, whatever you like. The list bunches similar items together so it's easier to combine items. To simplify your life the Shopping List organizes your list further by sorting the Store, Department and Aisle of where you would like to buy your items. Shopping/Market lists can be printed, emailed (maybe emailed to your spouse for pick-up on the way home) or saved to your iPod.
 Recipes and Market lists can be saved in simple HTML so they're easy to read on an iPod. CookWare Deluxe also works beautifully with Apples® new iPhone, now you can take your Recipes and Market lists to work, to the Market or to show your friends a great recipe - whatever! Imagine you're at home using CookWare Deluxe looking at a recipe for tonight's meal... now you have the ability to send the required list of ingredients to your spouse to get on the way home. Doesn't that make life a little more simple! (not just iPhone, this can work for any phone that accepts email).
 CookWare Deluxe can even make iPod Cookbooks. Imagine how fun it would be to create your own electronic cookbook with a table of contents! (Share them, give them away) iPod Cookbooks are made up of multiple individual recipes all hyper-linked together with a table of contents. Here are Instructions to integrate your iPod with CookWare Deluxe 4.2.
Your recipes can be displayed as Cookbooks or by Category or Alphabetically in The Recipe Browser to make them very easy to organize and group. Groups can be saved and recalled later using the "Menu Sets" feature. Using the amazing power and functionality of The Recipe Browser you can put together a menu really fast.
Create your own printed cookbooks with print templates you design. Create a cookbook to fit a 3-ring binder in a matter of seconds, simply by loading the recipes you want in your cookbook, then selecting the Create and Print Cookbook function - that's it! Imagine being able to give a family heirloom cookbook that's so simple to make to your kids, family or friends.
Finding recipes is really easy, with the powerful Recipe Finder - after all, it doesn't make much sense to have a great recipe collection and not be able to find the right one when you need it.
Any searches you perform can be saved so they can be performed again at a later date with the "My Searches" feature. You can find recipes by using a combination of typed words and pop-up menus. It's simple and fast! Cookware Deluxe comes with great recipes, but it gives you the option to search only the recipes you've entered.
 Learn why CookWare Deluxe does not include Nutritional Information... |
 CookWare Deluxe Recipe Software can actually save you money on your food bill.
Here's how...
1] Supermarkets compete with one another by luring customers into their stores with the use of coupons or "Bonus Buys". Sometimes they are so discounted they are known as "lost leaders" meaning they might actually lose money on the item. You can take advantage of these savings by looking through your local newspaper and selecting only the items you need, that are on sale, then going from one store to the next selecting only the items you need. Then enter them into CookWare Deluxe's Shopping List which will organize them by Store, Department and Aisle. That way, you can save time and money. This is a perfectly legitimate way to shop for groceries; supermarkets love to see customers use coupons because it gives them an idea of what people want, and how well their advertising is working. It's a win-win for everyone.
2] Studies have shown that shopping for a week's worth of groceries at one time rather than shopping two or three times a week will save a significant amount of money. CookWare Deluxe is designed to help you do just that. By using its Meal Planning Calendar combined with its Shopping List you can save a tremendous amount of time, money and energy.

You might wonder... If DigitalFriedChicken has been creating CookWare Deluxe for 14 years why is it only at version 4.2?
Here's why... CookWare Deluxe used to be called just "CookWare", but its name was in conflict with another product. This caused some confusion, so it's name was changed from CookWare to CookWare Deluxe. At the time of the name change, CookWare was up to version 7.9. Without the name change CookWare Deluxe would currently be at version 12.8 |

Recipes don't even need to be printed, you can email them with just a click or exchange them with another CookWare Deluxe user or post them (in HTML format) to the internet or put them on a iPod. If you do want to print, choose one of these formats - Standard, Standard without Photo, 6 x 4 Cards, 3-ring Binder, Large Print and Custom Templates.
CookWare Deluxe Recipe Software is cross-platform. This opens the door to being able to exchange recipes with any other CookWare Deluxe user. Maybe you have friends, family or even kids at college homesick and wanting grandma's recipes, but they use a PC and you don't; with CookWare Deluxe you can exchange recipes seamlessly without any loss of information. CookWare Deluxe Recipe Software uses a sophisticated recipe comparison that synchronizes recipes between computers without the use of additional software. You'll appreciate the handy guides for Food Pairing, Quantity Conversions, Cooking Temperatures and more. Browse Web resources right from within CookWare Deluxe recipe software. The ability to export a single recipe or multiple recipes in three formats offers a lot of flexibility by being able to print your recipes in a Word Processor using the Text export or export in a Excel format or post to the Internet using the HTML format. CookWare Deluxe now Imports MasterCook recipes. (MXP and MX2 files.)  Dictionaries in many languages are available for CookWare Deluxe. Dictionaries in the following languages: Dutch, French, Italian, German, Portuguese (Brazil) Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish, Swedish, Swiss German, English (UK), English (US). These Dictionaries check the spelling of text entered, it doesn't change the software to that particular language. Since most of the world understands some English, many users can understand the titles, headings and navigate layouts easily, but feel more comfortable using their native language to fill-in the blanks. These Dictionaries allow you to check your entries and Learn words that are not in the Main Dictionary. |
