CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This database-oriented application allows cooks to store, manage, print, and e-mail recipes, but the inability to import them won't suit some palates. Cooking Aficionado's straightforward interface lets you easily view and manage recipes. Unlike similar applications in the market, this freeware only provides one preloaded sample, and its inability to import recipe files from different formats is a big turnoff for some users. Additionally, you'll only be able to export the recipe files in one format: CA XML. Cooking Aficionado can be registered for free, though a "How to buy" statement in the help file might confuse some users. Sharing options like the ability to print and e-mail recipes is well appreciated. In testing, e-mailed recipes were quickly and accurately sent. This freeware application can be displayed both in English and Spanish. Cooking enthusiasts looking for an organizational utility can try Cooking Aficionado, but we'd guess they'd also want to sample more flexible applications.Publisher's description

Version: Cooking Aficionado 3.1
"perfectly simple and useful!"
Pros: This software is just what I was looking for. A simple, clean way to organize all my recipes without having to individually type each ingredient into seperate fields. I can just copy and paste from my saved MS Word files as well as from recipes online.
I like that I can create different catagories to organize them all too.
Perfect! No ads or useless bells and whistles. I like this simple little tool.

Version: Cooking Aficionado 3.1
Pros: Great program to organise recipes and their photos
Cons: Would like to be able to drag and drop images into the recipe picture window. Would also like to be able to export as HTML, including emailing in HTML format (that is, *including* the image).

Version: Cooking Aficionado 3.1
"Exactly what I was looking for..."
Pros: I love this program! Some of the things the last reviewer wrote were not true at all! You can create as many catagories as you want with this program. It is completely free and the thing I love the most is that you can just copy and paste recipes from other websites. I haven't tried importing recipes, but copying and pasting isn't hard to do. Also I haven't tried importing pictures, but I don't really need pictures with my recipes. I haven't experienced any problems with the program loading, and there was no spyware attached.
