I’ve always loved to cook. Unfortunately, I’m one of those people who only likes to cook with really fresh ingredients and I only end up cooking about once a month. That results in me buying alot of ingredients over and over and over, which costs me money, which makes me cook less. A vicious downward spiral.
However, I still like to collect recipes in hopes that one day I’ll have my gourmet kitchen and all the utensils and equipment for cooking that I’ll ever need. In the meantime, I have the need to really start categorizing and storing these recipes that I’ve been collecting. I went searching today for OSX software that was developed to do just that and I was surprised when I found out how many packages there are out there for recipe organization.
They all have different features and all are quite cheap, weighing in at about 25$ or so. As a ‘woot!’ bonus, they all have free downloads to try ‘em out, so I figured I’d do just that. After they run out, I’ll see which one I like the most and buy it.
So here’s the competitors for Haji’s Recipe Software Cookoff!
I’ll be reviewing them based on these features:
- Interface
- iPod/iPhone export
- Website recipe import
- Shopping lists
- Search capabilities
- Printing Options
- Website Export
- Fullscreen view for cooking
- Nutritional values
- Meal planning
- Price
As an added bonus to my quest for recipe goodness, I came upon three other little gems: BarGenieMac, Netflix Freak and BeerAlchemy.
I’ll post my reviews up in a few weeks.
