Mastercook and Now You're Cooking seem to be the one's most folks here use.

I just ordered the Living Cookbook after comparing the features to
Mastercook and Now You're Cooking. I believe it had a few extra
features that the others did not. For those of you who use NYC or MC,
I'd be curious to know the following:

1. Are fractions such as 1/3, 2/3 , etc. available? I understand the
more common fractions such as 1/4 and 1/2 are included.

2. Is is possible to include both volume and weight measurements in
specific recipes?

The Living Cookbook has a 30 or 60 day money back guarantee and I did
go thru the online tutorial, so I hope not to be disappointed.

Thanks,
Ginny

I can only speak about NYC as I've never used MC; but I use fractions
all the time in my recipes. NYC lets you toggle between displaying
meaures as fractions and displaying them as decimals. You can add both
volume and weight measurements as well, although depending on how you
do it, it may mess up nutritional analysis and/or your shopping list.
I typically use whatever measurement the stuff is sold by (usually
weight) in the main measurement field and put the other measurement
either after the ingredient in parenthesis, or in the prep field if
there's no room there.

Yes. All fractions are converted and converted to decimal, scaled,
etc.

When you post recipes to the BigOven.com shared recipe archive (where
other cooks can find, rate and import recipes with each other -- see
http://www.bigoven.com/find.htm), the fractions are posted in text form
with a decimal equivalent.

BigOven allows you to enter weight or volume measures. At present, it
doesn't automatically convert volume to weight based upon ingredients,
but does let you link up nutritional items to get nutritional content.
About 300 pre-linked relationships are included in the basic program,
so you can get the gram weight immediately for those.

I can testify to NYC - I had MasterCook for ages, but decided to demo
NYC and fell in love with it. Easiest import/export feature I can
imagine (and, yes, I demo'd Meal Master way back when).

I can't answer your question. I am getting desparate trying to respond
