Apple Grrl

An internet buddy of mine, Amy, turned me on to MacGourmet. I downloaded it, tried it, and used it so much right away that I bought it. I am in love with this inexpensive, easy to use little program! Thanks, Amy!

MacGourmet is a recipe managing software, but it goes the extra mile. It integrates with Safari and uses Mac Services to let you pull in recipes from the web as you surf (this has been my hands down favorite feature so far). It also calculates the nutritional value of your recipe if you grab the Nutrition plug in, prints out shopping lists, lets you make notes on each recipe, add photos and rank each recipe. It also lets you add wine notes and more.

I’m recently a red wine addict, so the wine notes have been fun. I also am an amateur gourmet who loves to cook and briefly owned their own catering business. I have a lot of recipes. A. Lot. The chance to organize them on my MacBook and toss the massive wooden recipe box the size of a Buick is making my honey very happy. It might take a while to get them all entered in using my spare time, but in they will go.

Amy wrote a comprehensive review of MacGourmet for Epinions, which is how I discovered this little gem of a program. I give it two thumbs up for people who want to organize their cooking life. My only complaint so far is that is does not integrate with FireFox, my browser of choice, but that is Mozilla’s issue, not MacGourmet’s. FireFox won’t accept Mac services yet for some reason.
