I've been using Mastercook for years and love it! It comes with many features
but it also is very easy to use. I received the 8.0 version for Christmas
yesterday but I haven't installed it yet. According to the box, it makes
importing web recipes easy which is a new feature for 8.0. I don't think it's
very expensive if you consider all the features it comes with.
