Publisher's description of Electronic Recipe Manager
From For Your Information Technologies:Electronic Recipe Manager is a user-friendly recipe management program, distributed with more than 3,000 recipes. Users can add recipes into the database easily; store drink, food, and other recipe types; import and export recipes to share with other users; store drink and food ingredients in separate cabinets; search with an advanced search engine by title, ingredient, category, or any combination of database fields; use searches based on cabinet items, only returning recipes in which you have all ingredients on hand; provide an itemized shopping list of all ingredients, including total quantities of each ingredient needed for all recipes in a recipe group or menu; and preview, print, and save any recipe or recipe group as a text file, or as standard rich text, which can be loaded into many word processors. Its coolest feature is you can tell it what ingredients are in your cabinet (check off list) and it will find all of the recipes you can make, using only those ingredients. This works for both food and drink recipes.
Version 4.0 can resize all screens, has hyperlink help throughout the software, and will auto update any new changes.

Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
"$7.50 and easy to use! Try this one.."
Pros: The price is right, it's easy to use, easy to learn. No problems with the download. Since the price was so low I just went ahead and purchased the registration. I received a quick replay with the registration number. Contacted support with a question and received a quick response. It was deffinately worth the price. Adding new recipes from websites, etc are easy. Just highlight and click. Adding pictures is simple. No problem to do a copy and paste to share recipes from the program to a website. Give this program a try.
Cons: Not really an issue, but this is not as "glam" as some if the pricier programs. Also felt the manual could have had a little more information. I still feel it is a very good program and worth trying.

"I'm Impressed So Far - This Does Everything I Need..."
Summary: After downloading numerous organizers for my recipes, I'm happy that I've finally picked one that actually does what it claims. Entering the recipes is really easy and there's lots of features I haven't even adventured into trying yet. The price i... read more >>

"Just what I was looking for."
Summary: As far as the interface goes, it's old school application, but that's what you get from a small company. In any case, the app works great, has awesome features, and is very fast. I really like it.

Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
"Lacks nutrient analysis. Crude interface."
Pros: Competent management of text-based recipe database. Several useful (albeit quirky) methods for searching through recipes.
Cons: ERM cannot analyze nutrient content of recipes, so if you are controlling your diet in some fashion and need to know fat percentage, carbs, etc., this software won't do it for you. This for me was the deal-killer.
Also, although I'm not an aesthetic type, I found the user interface to be a bit crude. Not a serious problem, but doesn't help that the software is ugly in addition to not handling a basic and necessary feature (nutrient analysis) of any recipe management tool.

"You have to at least try this 1 feature"
Summary: If you like to host parties, try the cabinet search feature...it rocks! You just tell the software what ingredients (alcohol, juices, etc) and it tells you all of the drinks you can make! How cool is that!
