I have used Handy Cookbook successfully for years Today as I am starting my prep
for Thanksgiving , it has balked at every
turn I can pull up a recipe but can’t do
anything such as edit, print, copy, send to
email or anything I am frantic as all of our
family recipes are here and no where else

Best Ever Cook Book !!!
This is a great little cook book that allows you to store all your favourite recipes & cocktails. I have purchased numerous other cook books in the past and this is by far my favourite. Even does a google search for a picture to place upon your recipe. You will see what I mean once you purchase this book :))
Att dev !!! Only one issue !!!
When adding 1/2, 1/4 measurements when writing a recipe there is an errorShow lessSteve R1
Over a year and I still use it every week
I was looking for a blank slate that I could mold to my own style. I file recipes oddly - by genre, ingredient, holidat and daypart (crazy but it works). and I have my own shorthand for ingredients and measurements. so, any app that forced me into a box was no good.
and, I wanted easy backups and flex ability to share/output.
I tried a bunch and they all failed.
this is simply one of the best apps I have - it does exactly what it promises, extends my recipes easily back to other formats, ties the PC in if that's how I want to load/edut a recipe. easy to backup, edit and update.
I took 4 thick paper files of recipes - pulled the very best (my go-to list) and loaded them. I also load new, untried recipes on the fly and delete them when they stink - update them with my alterations.
I liberally add notes to everything. now, we add photos.
this has made me a better home cook and everything is accessible when I travel.
freaking amazing.Show lessChris Mead
Handy Cookbook
I love the cookbook, but just tried to add a recipe and when I tap to add ingredient, nothing happens. I am unable to add any ingredients. I don’t see how to get any support on this question. I was able to add steps. Please help!IreneElis
It WAS Great for Chefs
This app was great, I’ve used it since version 1.0 I think. With iOS 13 onwards it won’t even open… and I now have no way to recover my recipes from a decade of professional kitchen work.
Such a disappointment to lose recipes I’ve picked up from people like Gordon Ramsey, Pierre Kaufman, and Marco Pierre White firsthand.
======= Original Review ======
As a chef I love to have a recipe book always to hand. And have been looking for an easy to use app since I got my iPhone last year. This 1 really does the trick
My only complaint would be I'd like it to deal with larger numbers of servings (some of my recipes start at 40-50 people!) and that I need a way to back this up, I'd hate to think of the hours I'd lose (since I've copied all my cookbooks into it!!)
Thanks again for a brilliant and simple app!Show lessSkywalker_Dark79
Good tool but lacks sharing
I use this app constantly on 2 different iPads. I have family recipes on both but the app doesn’t allow sharing. Recipes reside on each individual device instead of in the cloud where you’d be able to log on and see them on any device. This why I rated it at 3 stars, other than that it would be 5 stars.Show lessheartycooking
What happened?
I LOVED this app until I purchased my new iPad. Now I too have a problem with my fractions. What gives?!! Extremely annoying but I have over 1,000 recipes in this app. Until this happened, I would have given this a 5 plus rating. Please help us out Carlo with a bug fix.fellowitalian
Something happened
I do looove this app. But, lately it won’t let me add recipes on my iPhone or iPad. I’ve tried emailing Carlos; but, I don’t think he’s received them because I’ve had no response. What I have on my app works beautifully, but, I need to add more recipes. I hope he will find a way to show me how to fix it!Show lesscsb18
Like the app, but the latest version has a bug.
The latest version doesn’t work properly on the iPhone 8.When I enter a recipe, the fractional amounts are not placed into the recipe properly. It requires going into edit each of the entries to get it correct. This is the case whether I type in the entries or use voice dictation.
When you go into edit the entry, there is some weird syntax that shows up. The fractional quantities for teaspoons, cup, etc. are not there.Show lesssrb102
