Rick

Were you able to import it from another program or did you enter it by hand? If so how did you do it? I have a ton of scanned recipes and that is what I am really looking to do and be able to edit

Thanks

I copied from my files and under actions there is a capture recipe function.  Open it and paste.  Then you can edit it and add any info you want .

Observation.  By copy and paste I have been able to almost seemlessly capture my recipes off this forum to the program with the capture recipe function.

Looks like this might need to be a WIKI.

 

[shooterrick]

Well once I become more familiar with this program I will certainly consider a wiki. 

 

[scarbelly]

Well gang I think we have found a winner. Both Rick and I have been working with this software for a couple of days and with his finds and mine I think this is going to be a great program for SMF users. I am contacting the tech team to get some clarification and to ask them if they have a WIKI format we can use for you but this is one powerful program for sure.   Stand by for a couple of days and we should have a pretty good review for you

I'm pretty stuck on my old DOS based recipe program, but would like to hear features.  In particular, does it have the ability to embed pictures?

I think I remember hearing that it did dietary analysis of recipes.  I have used a windows program called Mastercook that claimed to do that also.  It was okay as far as it went, but required that you enter your ingredients in a particular form to get recognized in the nutrition database.

This does allow you to embed photos and does the dietary annalysis based on the huge database it has. If your ingredient is not in the database, you can add it as I did today for several items. It takes only a couple of minutes to add an ingretinet including the search time on the internet.

As far as Mastercook, this program allows you to import your recipes directly into the database,    Both Rick and I are using formats that are not supported to the import is slightly more cumbersome but very easy and fast.   Below is a recipe with the dietary info for your review

Andouille Sausage and Cornbread  Stuffing

3 Tbsp butter
3 cups celery chopped
2 cups onion chopped
8  links Andouille Sausage  chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
1 cup Green onion chopped
8 cups Corn bread crumbs dried in the oven
2-3  cups chicken stock or canned chicken broth

1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter.

2. Add the celery and onion to the pan and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes.

3. Stir in the sausage, thyme, sage and green onions and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

4. Stir in the cornbread and about half of the stock. Mix well. Add additional stock until the stuffing is moist but not wet. The stuffing should be moist enough to stick together when mounded on a large spoon.

5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Generously grease a shallow casserole or baking dish with butter.

7. Loosely spoon the stuffing into the dish.

8. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

9. Remove the foil to let the top brown and bake an additional 20-25 minutes.
