Best Recipe Organization
I have used several recipe organizations over the years including Microkitchen Companion, Living Cookbook, and MasterCook. All of these were top rated at one time, but are now defunct.
I had recently been using CookList since it has a pantry inventory feature that helps in menu planning and allows you to easily make use of what’s on hand to be used up. Overall, Cook’n is best for organizing and collecting recipes into several cookbooks and categorizing for cross referencing.
The ability to convert MasterCook files to Cook’n quickly was amazing. I also like the ability to sync between all devices since I use both a desktop and my phone. I have finally been able to free up counter space since I no longer need binders and cards with recipe printouts.
As others have mentioned, I received exceptional customer service support through email, but the indexed video library allows the user to easily learn about the extensive features too numerous to describe here.

FIXED-AI not always accurate
UPDATE! The fix is great! It’s back working like it should. Now just train those elves to better interpret when a recipe has variations! I’m still copying, cutting and pasting variations to a recipe into the Notes section! That’s a pain to do! If the recipe is handwritten, it really messes up the amounts and units. I’m still doing a lot of proofreading and correcting those Elf BooBoo’s!!!
I’ve scanned in over 800 recipes and lately I’ve noticed a lot of inaccurate information created by the “EI”-Elf intelligence! Ingredients left out or altered in such a way as to refer to something else!
Or simply ingredients or specific directions just left out!
It also gets totally confused and refuses to complete the recipe if it’s confronted with variations as in “3 different ways to change up the flavors!”
I’ve to totally proofread the recipes before moving on to the next recipe for accuracy!

Great Program
I am new to Cook’n. I moved my Mastercook recipes over to Cook’n because Mastercook was closing down. I had trouble figuring the process out so I emailed them and Pam promptly got back with me. She was GREAT! She walked me through each step and the transfer went through perfectly. I am just learning how to use the program, but so far I am very pleased. It will be great having my recipes on both my computer and IPhone. Thanks Pam for all of the help you gave me!
