Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.Publisher's description

Version: Living Cookbook 2008 2.0.51
Pros: Capture recipes from internet, keep an inventory so you know when to re-stock
Cons: Could do with the tutorials expanded a little.
Summary: I think this is the best cookery programme I could ever hope for. I have been looking for a programme for a long time now and here it is (I hope, just started using it but I have bought it)

Version: Living Cookbook 2008 2.0.51
"Downloaded a few hours ago and what a dissappoint"
Pros: ????????????
Cons: Was looking for healthy recipes. Am I missing something? Searched for chicken breast and nothing came up. Tried vegetarian and had the same result. Seems good for the meat and potatoes type. Moving on...

Version: Living Cookbook 2008 2.0.51
"my search is finally over, I did the trial then ordered"
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
