COOKING SOFTWARE
I have used a number of cooking software and the new Big Oven

>But, it does not support volume-to-weight unit conversions. One of the things that sold me on Living Cookbook (and other software may have this) is the Capture function. You can copy a recipe from a website, or any other document, paste it into the software, then just highlight the various portions of text (title, ingredients, procedure, etc) and it feeds the info into the recipe and formats it. This saved a TON of time for us, because all of our recipes (hundreds of them) were in a Word document. And it's also great because if we get a recipe from Allrecipes.com or Epicurious.com that we want to keep, it just takes a few seconds to capture it. |

Can BigOven also do that ? Yes, BigOven allows exactly this via its "Screen Import" feature.

I'll install it and give it a try. I've been using Home Cooking because it's simple to import to but I've kind of outgrown it. I don't think you can directly import the files but it can export in MM or MC formats then I can import to move my recipes. -- Pete Romfh, Telecom Geek & Amateur Gourmet. promfh at hal dash pc dot org |

It already knows the conversion factors between weight and volume units for hundreds of ingredients. You can for example have the ingredients in volume units in the recipe and add them to the shopping list in weight units. Mite http://www.shopncook.com |

There's no demo to try so I can't say how the software works, but from the web site it looks like they are much more into selling additional recipe packages at $20 a pop than in developing cooking software. But then pretty much anything would be better than MasterCook. -- Hitachi HB-A101 bread machine, 1 pound Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (01/10/05) |

I don't have time right now to reinstall the software and play with it, but if you are serious about making changes to the software, I will when I get some free time. We can have the discussion offline so as not to clog up this newsgroup. Is that email address real? If you are interested, there is a fairly detailed explanation of what I think is needed in the volume to weight conversion area in the message board for BigOven. http://www.bigoven.com/bbs/shwmessag...&MessageID=730 >Mite (author of Shop'NCook) >http://www.shopncook.com -- Hitachi HB-A101 bread machine, 1 pound Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (01/10/05) |

I guess it probably does, given what you say, but it would be nice to have it confirmed or otherwise from the horse's mouth. :-) (Or maybe someone else here in r.f.c has tried it under XP SP2 and can comment?)

Phred, Shop'NCook is supported on Windows 98/NT4/2000 and Mac OS X. XP is not listed because we haven't yet tested it on it. I expect it to work there too since Java ports well to Windows XP, but there could be of course some unexpected troubles. Sorry I cannot give you a more definite answer. BTW, http://www.rufenacht.com/shopncook/ is the correct page. Mite http://www.shopncook.com |

Maybe someone here who has tried it on XP will give us the benefit of their experience sometime. As said before, my guess is that it will work okay -- given that it works on both Windows 98 (and ME?) and NT4/2K. Cheers, Phred. -- LID |
