This Mac application enables you to keep your favorite recipes in one place. This way, you won't need to search the Web or cuisine books for the cooking instructions of a dish. Recipe Box provides you with an easy way to import cooking directions from various websites, lets you create shopping lists, allows you to email recipes to your friends, and much more.
The program comes with a user-friendly interface, a comprehensive help guide, and an integrated search tool for immediately finding recipes. Furthermore, this utility lets you create as many cooking books as you like and export and print cooking instructions.
I like the fact that the application also gives you access to a measurement conversion guide. This tool might prove to be of good use when importing recipes from online sources and wish to convert the measurement units.
You can sort your recipes into groups based on their type (appetizers, side dish, dessert, etc.) and add meal courses categories if necessary. Once you complete your cooking book alterations, you can back up your recipes to your local directories.
In my testing, the application worked perfectly. Recipe Box was very simple to handle, offered me dozens of useful features, and didn't slow down the performance of my Mac.
So, I think it's worth buying Recipe Box if you're looking for a simple and efficient way to manage your cooking instructions.
