Home Cookin recipe software uses a simple tabbed interface with the familiar style of a traditional cookbook. Within minutes you will be adding your own recipes, preparing grocery lists, and planning your meals for the upcoming weeks. Each screen is optimized to make every operation as effortless as possible, while not getting bogged down with features you rarely use.

Most recipe organizers force you to "fill in the blanks" when adding new recipes. This limits flexibility and complicates recipe entry.

Home Cookin lets you enter recipes the way you want to. There are no ingredient limitations or complicated forms to fill out. Add as many notes as you wish for sources or ratings. Add a photo, check spelling, or resize the ingredients to better suit your family.

Information records let you organize your food glossaries, conversion charts, health recommendations, and other cooking tips. Create as many chapters as you wish, and organize your recipes into the chapters you want them in. With support for over 2 billion recipes, you will always have room for more recipes.

Use the Web Import to automatically extract a recipe from a web page link, including the photo. Many popular recipe sites are supported, with more coming soon. You can use any web browser you wish instead of being locked into a built-in browser. If you're on the go you can email the link to yourself and import the recipe when you get back home.

Easily import cooking tips and other simple text as informational records. Use the manual import feature to load unformatted recipes. Or copy and paste text between applications to handle complex formatting. If you are upgrading from other recipe software or sharing recipes with friends, Home Cookin supports a wide variety of recipe formats:

Locate duplicate recipes that are wasting space in your collection. The detailed analysis can match similar recipes even if they have different titles, misspelled words, or added notes. The duplicate manager lets you choose which recipes you want to keep.

Quickly search for recipes by title or for ingredients you have on hand. You can search your entire collection or limit the search to a specific chapter. If you're not sure what you're looking for, the simple cookbook format makes it easy to browse through your recipe collection.

Home Cookin can easily adjust recipe proportions when needed. Resize recipes temporarily if you have guests for dinner. Or resize them permanently so they better fit your family.

Print your recipes to a variety of index cards or full page sheets. Home Cookin supports single index cards and common Avery forms. Create a simple cookbook by placing printouts in a binder. Or put your favorite recipe cards in a small photo album for simple bridal or baby shower gifts.

Send your favorite recipes and grocery lists to your mobile devices, including the iPad and Kindle Fire tablets, or the Kindle eReader. Transfer the files by email or USB cable. If your device supports FTP, you can use the built-in FTP client for fast wireless transfers. No need to install iTunes or other software on your computer.

If you change computers often, you may want to install Home Cookin to a USB flash drive. You can easily access your recipes at an internet cafe, the local library, or a friends house. If you like to travel, put Home Cookin on your laptop or netbook. You can manage your recipes even if you do not have an internet connection.

When you need to make a better impression, create personalized cookbooks in a variety of sizes. The printer ready PDF file includes a title page and a full index. Send the PDF to a printer to create professional paperback or hardcover cookbooks. These make great gifts, or as fund raisers for school or church events.

You can easily export your recipes if you want to share them with friends or use them in other applications. Export recipes directly to email, or save them to a flash drive for sharing later. You can even export recipes by FTP to send them to your mobile devices. Home Cookin can export your recipes to many popular formats:

The meal calendar makes it easy to plan your upcoming meals. Find the recipes you want to make, then add them to the meal calendar. Assign meals to breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any other hour of the day. Add notes to your meal plan if you plan on eating out, or to show birthdays or other special occasions. You can even add notes to reference recipes in other cookbooks.

Add as many recipes or notes as you wish to a single day. You can plan meals days, weeks, or months in advance. You can even look back to see what you made for holiday dinners in past years. If your plans change you can move meals to new dates, or you can copy meals to additional days if you expect to have leftovers. When you are ready to prepare the meal, you can access or print the recipe quickly from the meal calendar.

Start a new grocery list, select the items you need, and print. A cost estimate is calculated as you select each item, so you'll know ahead of time how much you'll be spending on your groceries. The printed list is compact and sorted by store and location to make your shopping trip quick and easy.

It is easy to select the ingredients you need from your recipes. You can also select common extras like cereal, toothpaste, or paper products. Items you buy frequently can be added automatically when you start a new list. You can assign items to generic locations like produce or dairy, or exact aisle numbers. Locate items quickly using the Find feature.
