CNET Editors' review
Despite a few limitations, Recipe Manager has some nice features to organize your recipe collection. Navigation is easy with the well-designed interface. You can choose to view a list of all recipes or only those from a particular cuisine or category, and the search tools are simple and effective. Select an individual recipe to view tabs displaying ingredients, directions, and other information, or view the more appealing HTML format, which also is used for printing. Although less than 20 recipes are included, they're a nice mix of healthful dishes with nutrition information. A wizard makes it easy to add recipes and nutritional information, and sort them into categories. Recipe Manager also includes an extensive database of nutritional information for both brand and nonbrand foods. The only downside is that import and export is restricted to one file type. Any health-conscious cook will appreciate what this freeware recipe organizer offers.

"Looks great, like it will do what I was looking for"
Version: Recipe Manager 1.2
Pros
On first look through, it seems this is going to what I am looking for. Nutritional information for recipes. Just what I need for the cooking website I am planning.
Cons
I haven't had an opportunity to check it out really well. So far, no cons.
Summary
I am a life long cook and love recipes, those I get from others and the ones I make up myself. I was a caterer for a few years. I have fibromyalgia and am limited in what I can do. I am planning a cooking website for sometime next year. Am currently working on a holiday site that has Christmas recipes and will have recipes for other holidays when complete. I would love to put more nutrition information on the recipes I do myself and those that people give me. I get lots of recipes from the internet, but, like most cooks, I never saw a recipe I couldn't change. That changes the nutrition of the recipes. I will enjoy using the Recipe Manager as I write recipes for my websites. Thank you!

"Maybe if it were better I would buy it."
Version: Recipe Manager 1.2
Pros
This is really good except for one little quirk. The program is very easy to work and it does all that it says it does.
Cons
My only thing I can find that I am going to delete the program off my computer is for what I need it won't work because with all my recipes I need to use fractions and it wont let you, you have to use decimals and it justs takes to long to enter it that way.

Beautiful interface, tons of nutritional data come with the program.
Cons
Can't import or export in any common file format. Won't recommend until you can.
