    Did not realize this was an older version. Program did not function correctly at times due to the MS Vista operation system. Returned it to Amazon for credit.


    1 out of 5 stars Not worth it at all   January 7, 2009

    I thought this product you could create your own recipes. All it is is a overpriced recipe book. I would not recommend it to anyone.

    Installed this program on a VISTA 64 system, after setting VISTA to run the program in XP compatibility mode everything works very well. I love the self-completing features for ingredients when entering recipes.
    I have never really understood why so many people seem to have problems with VISTA. I have installed it on all three of my XP machines with no real issues other than reading the instructions and following them. This software is no different. If you are loading a pre-VISTA program on a VISTA machine and are having problems, try the compatibility mode as instructed by Microsoft!
    DUH!!

    I have the version of this software previous to V8 and plan to upgrade to 8 for the new features.

    Despite what all the information claims, this program is not fully functional with Windows Vista. If you go to the company's website, they admit this right away and tell you only there most recent, $80 program runs with Vista, and downloading that will fix all your problems. A complete bait-and-switch on what, from everything I've read and seen, is horrible software in the first place.


    4 out of 5 stars it seems to help but there are some obstacles   August 30, 2008

    As a working mom on maternity leave, I was trying to use this to automate my current process- about 50 recipes get used from a couple of books and a lot of single pages torn from magazines, monthly I make a meal plan and weekly I revise it and put together a grocery list. The headaches are in finding the recipes, determining the grocery list, and minorly in setting up the monthly plan to keep from having spaghetti every night. I have started entering my recipes and have about 32 in- I consider it drudgery, but the software is somewhat helpful. Iam now playing with how it generates a grocery list, and I am thinking the software is trying to be too smart- trying to determine what size of a container I need to buy rather than what was written on the recipe, and I certainly dont want to be told brand names- I just want a SIMPLE grocery list, and would prefer to eliminate the brand names- seems like advertising I dont need. I plan to keep fiddling with this product and get as much use out of it that I can. Overall, I think its a good product if there arent better recipe programs out there yet.
