I would like some suggestions for cooking software for Windows. I am
currently on Win 2000 but will be moving to WinXP soon. It can be
shareware or commercial. I don't have complicated needs. It will be
used mainly for home cooking and just to keep track of things.

I just bought MasterCook and I really hate it. The interface is awful.
It's almost unusable.

Here's what I need it to do:

1. Scale a recipe without changing the original. If I ask it to double
the recipe, it would remember the original and indicate that this is a
double-size version.

2. Show ingredients in both volume (tsp, cup) and weight (ounces,
grams) units. Ideally, indicate which is the original.

3. Provide a usage log where I can enter the results of each time I
try the recipe. Keep track of these by date.

4. Allow me to rate each recipe and sort by rating.

5. User interface that is similar to the Windows standard. Not the
kludge that is MasterCook.

Thanks. Any suggestions or pointers appreciated.
