Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Version reviewed: Living Cookbook 2008 2.0.51

Even kitchen novices will feel like master chefs after using the encyclopedic Living Cookbook. A battery of recipes is here, of course, offering detailed ingredients, instructions, and even images. An integrated calendar is helpful for menu planning, too. But most notable is the comprehensive glossary offering up insight into arcane cooking terms and data. You even can edit entries if your kitchen tests reveal necessary tweaks or tips. Printing and sharing tools also are handy. Anyone looking to sharpen their culinary chops will find Living Cookbook an excellent resource.

"my search is finally over, I did the trial then ordered"

by debbiekerr on May 12, 2009

Pros: more features than my old program; trial virtually full version; full version is HALF price of what an 'upgrade' to Cook 'n would have cost - and I believe this has more features - the trial download for Cook 'n didn't allow me to test, only 'browse'

Cons: one license per computer not great, but considering the price and features, a small price to pay - plus I'll want all my recipes in one place anyway.

Summary: more features than I was hoping for, at a reasonable price

"Poor licensing"

by maine-moose on March 9, 2009

Pros: It is a great product with lots of good features

Cons: licensing stinks. The company is clearly very concerned about piracy (to be clear I don't blame them) but the license is tied to a specific PC, and who has only 1 PC these days?

Summary: I'd buy it if licensing were more "user friendly"/trusting.

"Not crazy about it."

by ElizDet on March 5, 2009

Pros: It has lots of working features like most recipe programs I tried.

Cons: It has you type in the ingredients by putting it into boxes. I find that too much work and awkward for me. So didn't buy it.

"Worked poorly"

by mesters1 on January 2, 2009

Pros: I liked the format and was excited to start using the product. The screens made sense and were logical.

Cons: Everytime I tried to enter information, up pops an error message. Since I was using the trial version I was unable to address the problem at the website.

Summary: If the trial version works poorly why would I want to take a chance on the purchased product. I was really disipointed.
