I've never tried Micro CookBook, so I can't really make a comparison between
MasterCook and Micro Cookbook. But, I use MasterCook and highly recommend
it. When I first purchased MasterCook, I was a little disappointed by their
lack of vegan recipes, until I found their web site. MasterCook's web site
has six or seven vegetarian/vegan "cookbooks" that can be downloaded. There
are also plenty of low-fat non-vegetarian cookbooks. Each have over 100
recipes. You can also contribute recipes and cookbooks to their site. I
even think you can download a trial version of MasterCook. Sorry, I don't
have their URL here at work, but I found it using a Lycos search. Another
nice feature of MasterCook is you can add your own recipes and it will
automatically provide a nutritional analysis complete with Fat, Calorie,
Protein and RDA levels. All the recipes already in MasterCook provide
similar data. There are loads of other features I don't use like meal
planning and shopping lists. MasterCook is probably the most expensive PC
cookbook, but it's well worth it.
On another topic, I just moved to Atlanta. I'd appreciate recommendations
on restaurants offering vegan fare, especially in the Midtown area.
