Hi-
As far as I'm concerned, recipes are not the reason to purchase
Mastercook...most of the recipes in it look terrible, IMHO whether vegan
or not. In fact I deleted most of them!
The reason for getting the software (and it's definately a bargain at
only $30) is that it organizes recipes, gives you nutritional
information, and has a wonderful search feature. Basically, if I have
tofu, green beans, and peppers in the house but I'm not sure what I want
to fix, I can enter those three ingredients in and all the recipes with
those ingredients will come up.
It's also GREAT for parties! You can create a menu of everything you
want to serve, print out all the recipes at one time, generate how much
it will cost, nutritional analysis of the whole thing, etc. I use this
everytime I give a party and enter notes into the menu about what was
liked, what was leftover, etc.
You can also generate grocery lists from the recipes you want to make,
there is a wine-list, meus for the month,....can you tell I love it?
Basically, every time I cook something new, I enter it into Mastercook.
I don't ever have to go searching through zillions of magazines looking
for that one particular recipe from a couple of years ago. Plus, there
are lots of recipes on the web in Mastercook format, and it's super easy
to import.
Give it a try, it's located at:

Next to Quicken, it's the best, most useful software I own! No, I don't
have anything to do with the company, I'm just a VERY satisfied
customer!
