Summary: High quality product
Review: I bought this software because it advertised that Cook'n for Diabetics is included. I couldn't wait to get it. When I loaded it, the only menus for diabetics were for children with juvenile diabetes. HUGE DIFFERENCE! So I was left to sort and sift through the recipes, just like I did before I had the software. So then I read the disk. It says "this disk contains recipes from Cook'n blah blah blah....." so you aren't even getting the full version of the cookbooks they advertise you to be getting, just excerpts. The nerve! What a waste of time, postage, and disk space. I guess I will be taking advantage of the 30-day money back guarantee, which is the only thing I like about this product.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I found the Organizer feature of Cook N Collection to be great. I wanted a simple but powerful way to electronically organize & store my family ecipes, which I can now do. Recipes are so easy to enter, I did about 100 in 10 hours. A Drop down list of measures and ingredients allows speed typing. Free form text fields are very flexible to elaborate on ingredients. Option exists to select & display within recipe a "preferred brand" for any ingredient. Easy to link or imbed one recipe within another (frosting to cake) and copy recipe into multiple categories (lasagna is a main dish and also a pasta dish). Once recipe is entered, program calculates nutritional information. Allows you to combine multiple recipes together into "meals" to do full range of menu planning and preparation of grocery list. CD has hundreds of recipes already in it, but the organizing feature alone for your own recipes is worth the $$.

Review: I installed this on my computer and my wife's laptop without a problem. Both machines have Windows XP on them and everything works great.

I've tried others but I like Cook'n best. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Works on Windows 98 but no dice on XP
Review: The program worked fine when I installed it on a Dell computer with Windows 98. Soon after, I got a new Dell with Windows XP and have not been able to get the program to work. It keeps locking up. I emailed DVO for assistance but have not received an answer.
If you order this program, keep your receipts - you may need to send it back!
