"I have used Home Cookin
for at least two years. Prior to discovering this product
I used another one. Home Cookin is terrific! I have
written a recipe column for a local magazine and have all
my recipes on your software. Thanks for all the hard
work. I recommend this whole heartedly." - J. Wilson -
Apr 2010 "I have lots of cookbook software. I have Big Oven and Cook'n to name a couple of the more well known ones, plus several smaller programs. Some I bought before yours and some after....I just like to try software and am always looking for something better you know? Well today I was thinking about all the software I have tried and the fact that I always come back to yours. It is simple to use and easy to add recipes to. I like the index and I especially like the shopping list. The others all have something great going for them but overall I think I like yours the best as I always keep coming back to it." - M. Agloro - Apr 2010 "Thanks for building this software. After buying a number of fairly expensive recipe programs, I do like this the best for the flexibility." - J. Krueger - Mar 2010 "Home Cooking is great. It's probably the best cooking software of all and I have 20 programs. I just deep six the last one, Big Oven." - A. Shepard - Jun 2009 "I found no other program that equals it for ease of use and portability." - D. Stark - Mar 2009 "This recipe program is the first one I've ever discovered that works for me... As far as I'm concerned, this is the easiest and best recipe program ever. All the others I've tried, maybe 10 of them over the years, require tedious entry of each ingredient into separate fields, an effort I simply don't have patience for. And there's the added benefit that I can carry the recipes with me on a USB stick when I visit my second residence. THANKS to the developer for coming up with such a useful software." - T. Colvin - Feb 2009, (BitsDuJour Daily Deals) "My wife and I have spent approximately $300 over the years trying to find a good recipe database before finding Home Cookin. We especially liked that we could copy and paste from old programs. No retyping all the work we did over the years. That's worth a million dollars to me. Love making PDF recipe books with it, so easy. And my wife carries it on a thumbdrive everytime she goes to a friend's house. Whatever you do, don't even THINK of buying anything else, especially one where it requires a CD to be inserted to run. Those kinds are slow as molasses and if you lose the CD, you have lost everything you did previously. Home Cookin is lightning fast, it has pure speed, and it's idiot proof to use." - D. Roper - Feb 2009, (TedCo Software Daily Deals) "After researching and testing several different software cookbooks I find yours to make the most sense, be the least overwhelming, and I love that it is not preloaded with lots of recipes. I already have stacks of recipes cut out that I will never cook! Kudos to you for developing a user friendly no-nonsense program that includes a grocery list for real people" - A. Meche - Jan 2009 "Thank you so much for your time and patience. I do so appreciate all you have done. Your business will go far with such great customer service. Not many places are so helpful after your purchase, but you have always been. Thank you for great customer service." - C. Kipp - Jan 2009 "Thanks for your quick reply and for a great product. I looked around before purchasing this software and it is by far the best I've seen. Nice and easy and not cluttered, exactly what I want." - S. Erback - Jan 2009, (erbackfineart.com) "I have really enjoyed the Home Cookin software and I just received the CD. The program makes it so easy to add recipes from other places and so many can just be cut and pasted. At last I can put them all in one spot. The software is not only easy to use but is reasonably priced." - B. Thomas - Dec 2008 "I've looked at many recipe software products and find yours to be the easiest and most flexible when it comes to storing my own recipes and not having to import someone else's cook books. Thanks for meeting my needs." - S. Lain - Nov 2008 "Thank You so much for Home Cookin'. Ever since I downloaded my first version (3.0 I believe) I have accessed it to find or store some recipe almost daily. I searched for years for a decent recipe database to no avail until yours." - D. Hoppe - Nov 2008 "I have been using Home Cookin for quite a few months now and I like the ease of use it offers. I tried several others and they just don't make the grade for me." - E. Shaw - Oct 2008 "I simply love this program. I've had several cookbook programs over the years and find Home Cookin to be the most user friendly, easy and versatile program I've ever had. I can do everything I want to do - print recipes, enter my own recipes, copy and paste recipes from other sources and email recipes. Keep up the good work!" - L. Markwald - Sep 2008 "Thank you so much for your reply and the fact that Home Cookin will work on Vista. I especially appreciate not having to pay a large amount to have it do so. Many of the cookbook creators are pricing themselves out of the market with their "Vista Updates". Out of about 7 different computer cookbooks (I collect the cookbooks and recipes), only 3 will work on Vista." - B. Beers - Aug 2008 "A brief note to let you know I absolutely love the Home Cookin software. I had been looking at so many other versions from others, and I'm thrilled that I decided on yours. To be able to import/export/paste etc., is so nice. The ability to create new categories and duplicate recipes is so great. I thank you so very much....you've created a wonderful product!" - L. Augustin - Aug 2008 "I would just like to take this opportunity to say, Well done. I have been looking for a recipe organizer software for a while and finally I have found one that delivers what it promises! I especially like how I can use pictures from my picture files when creating a recipe and it works! Others say that you can do it, but they don't work!" - P. Buchanan - Jul 2008 "I checked out a number of other software products.. tested them etc... and yours [Home Cookin] seems to be the simplest... has the features... resizing, etc. as other more expensive and complex versions." - L. Penrose - Jul 2008 "I really love Home Cookin. I use the grocery list for all kinds of shopping, not just for groceries; put all my recipes into the program so I don't have to look through lots of little boxes to find what I need; and I made a special cookbook for my Mom for Mother's Day. She loved it." - C. Belton - Jul 2008 "Thanks sooo much, this is my 3rd program and this one is sooo easy. I just love it!" - C. Woodward - Jun 2008 "I just wanted to let you know how much I love Home Cookin and Milestones. They do most everything I want, quickly, no fuss, easy to use! I even bought Home Cookin for a friend of mine who is a fabulous cook, but not much of a computer techie, and she just loves it, too!" - M. Ashelford - Apr 2008 "If you'd like to have a comfortable replacement of a greasy and floured cookbook, make sure to have a copy of Home Cookin on your hard drive!" - 3D2F.COM Review - Jul 2008 "I was very happy to find your Home Cookin software. I downloaded the free trial and knew within minutes of trying it out that this was the kind of program I have been looking for. I've tried others that were so difficult to use." - S. Merrill - Mar 2008 "I have used several different recipe systems and my present system [Home Cookin] is the best. The mechanics are simple and not time consuming." - J. Unsworth, Feb 2008 "Your program was the very best, most adaptable in it's simplicity, of all the programs I sampled!" - C. Moodie, Feb 2008 "I have all my recipes typed in Word and [Home Cookin] allows me to import from that format without retyping. I have been looking for this for 2 or 3 years and had not been able to locate one that allowed easy import from Word or Works." - Dolly - Jan 2008 "Your cookbook software is the best that I have found. It is quite easy to navigate and use." - F. Gromley, Sep 2007 "Home Cookin is a no-brainer to use while still being powerful and fully featured." - Australian Computer Trader, Jun 2007 "One of the major reasons I chose your program was the import feature. I've tried many different programs and none have performed that function like yours. None even came close. It almost doesn't matter what format it is. So easy, it's scary." - S. Dears, May 2007 Home Cookin vs. Cookbook Wizard - Associated Content Review, May 2007 "This software is very easy to use and I like the fact that I can sort my own recipes." - T. Gudek, May 2007 (4 stars, Amazon.com) "I knew this was the program I wanted 5 minutes after I downloaded the trial. Thanks for making it so easy to use. The essential basics are covered and I have the flexibility to make it fit my needs." - V. Liebegott, Apr 2007. "Thank you so much for all your help on this matter. The customer service was most excellent. Thanks for remembering the customer." - C. Kipp, Apr 2007. "I just wanted to let you know how happy I am to have found this program. I have a lot of recipes that needed to be organized and since I downloaded [Home Cookin] I have made short work of doing a good portion of them. I have scanned a lot of them and this program is so easy to use that it's a treat." - T. Wildy, Feb 2007. "I have looked at other programs and find Home Cookin the simplest and easiest to use. I especially like the free form units entry in the recipe section." - I. Walsh, Oct 2006. "I have bought every cookbook program out there, and all the whistles and bells they have on them, makes them so annoying to use. But Home Cookin is fast, fun and easy to use." - S. Chase, Sep 2006. "I purchased Home Cookin this month and just have to write and tell you how much I am enjoying it. It does everything I wanted recipe software to do, and more, but haven't been able to find until now." - C. Lindsey, Jun 2006. "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the program! Was a frustrated DVO [Cook'n] customer, it is deleted off my computer and the only one I have now is Home Cookin! I was so frustrated with programs until I found yours." - K. Jones, Apr 2006 "I've had Master Cook for a few years but gave up adding recipes because there were so many steps. I tried yours for only an hour and immediately knew I had to buy it! It's so much easier to add or copy recipes than Master Cook." - C. Lemanowicz, Feb 2006 "Over the years of my searching for a program that does exactly what I want it to, and with ease, yours is still by far the only one I have purchased. Thanks again for your awesome support and continuous upgrading of a program that seems perfect as it is. You have made a great product greater. WOW." - V. Phillips, Jan 2006 "You have an excellent product and you offer exceptional service." - D. Racine, Jan 2006 "I also own a few other recipe software programs but have always had the best time with Home Cookin. The program is easy, it's clean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure things out and it really does a good job of grocery planning." - L. Pfusch, Jan 2006 "Thanks for making my life so much easier. Yours is one of the pieces of software I could NOT do without." - K. Bridgeman, Nov 2005 "I love your software not only because of the ease in using it, but for your conscientious support." - M. Heimo, Oct 2005 "All of my recipes were in Meal Master. Then I purchased MasterCook and really didn't do much with it. Now I have a reason to keep my recipes organized. Home Cookin makes it a whole lot less work!" - C. Tonelli, Feb 2005 "The program is superb. I will never use Mastercook again." - K. Burnett "I downloaded a trial version and fell in love with it. It's soooo easy to use!!" - A. Wolff "I really like Home Cookin, and like the tech support even more! I would happily recommend Mountain Software programs to others." - P. Tweton "I LOVE my Home Cookin Software!! I also purchased Mastercook and, while I am impressed with the nutritional information that Mastercook provides, Home Cookin is by far more user friendly and does not require that recipe ingredients be input individually. Your software is a great value for the money." - E. Cole "I'm just as impressed with your customer service as I am with your cooking software. It is, hands down, the best I've used (and I have about seven other programs, some big, brand names)." - R. Kirby "This is probably the most frequently used application on my computer next to my Internet Browser." - N. Blundell "Over the last 1-1/2 years, I have purchased every piece of Cookbook/Recipe software I could find. Without reservation or exception I can tell you that Home Cookin is absolutely THE BEST! Many of the other programs come in fancier packages, have fancier designed interfaces, even offer features that Home Cookin does not. And without exception, they are limited, inflexible, unnecessarily difficult to use, obtuse, and just generally a big pain in the kazoo!" - T. Rayburn "Your Home Cookin software is as good or better than Sierra's [Mastercook]. The one outstanding difference was that yours is a more functional tool. It doesn't have all the fluff and extras that actually get in the way." - D. Lowe "I have MasterCook but it is so complicated that I seldom use it! Yours is just what I've been looking for!" - C. Ezovski "Home Cookin is the best recipe software that I have come across and I have tried quite a few. It is the most user friendly software I have used. Thank you for creating something so simple for others to use. If I had to use some of the other programs, I would be better off sticking with my 3 x 5 notecards and scraps of paper." - A. Cahill "I downloaded about every demo/shareware/freeware I could find and yours was by far the best/easiest to use, without once having to check help files. Including the much more familiar Meal Master and Master Cook names." - B. Vellturo "I've been using Mastercook for some time but because of the strict format requirements, it becomes extremely cumbersome to convert and store these recipes. Home Cookin solves that problem." - S. Schwartz "I had looked at many versions of recipe and cooking software, but was not satisfied with any of them, till I found yours. Absolutely the easiest to use, simplest to use for a neophyte computer operator that gave me any and all options for the best price. Thank you so much for a wonderful tool." - S. Maciejko "You've done a terrific job of creating a recipe database program that is flexible and easy to use. I feel sorry for all the folks who are struggling with rigid programs." - B. Ide "I downloaded just about every 4 and 5 star recipe program I could find. All lost out to Home Cookin. All the rest were simply too hard to use, requiring you to jump through hoops just to enter or import a recipe." - H. Lewis "It's exactly what I was looking for -- a program that is easy to use without a gazillion features that I will never use." - M. Anthony "Home Cookin is the recipe software I've been looking for! It has ALL the features I need and is very easy to use. Your software comes closer to exactly meeting my needs than any other software I have ever acquired." - P. Hayes "I love the program more and more each day, as it gives the control to make the chapters the way I want and the meal planner that is so easy to change." - D. Bertelsen "I have tried several different cooking programs and yours is the best. It's so easy to use, easy to find what I want, I can't see why anyone would want to use any other recipe program!" - K. Wilhelm "I'm surprised that the other recipe programs have not followed in your footsteps! What I like the most about Home Cookin is the fact that I can import all kinds of recipes whether they are formatted or not....saves me a lot of typing!" - Yvonne "I'm very impressed with the ease of the import recipe function. It is the easiest and fastest way of importing undefined text I've used." - S. Bertrand "Thank you for your prompt service and this wonderful program. I've been looking for a user friendly recipe program for a long time. The other ones I've tried were filling in blanks and that just doesn't do it for me!" - E. Humphries |
