I tried out every OS X recipe program I could get my hands on and have finally decided that MacGourmet's the one to go with. Or whatever goofy nomenclature the developers use for letting me dream.Īnd no, I'm not sharing Bubbie's Brisket recipe.Īfter years and years using MasterCook, I finally got tired of being stuck in Classic every time I wanted to cook. Two kinds: What I need to restock from Step 1 because I'm running out and/or What I need to make recipes from Step 3 or Step 4. Step 4: Search for recipes you don't have with the ingredients you do. Step 3: Use Step 1 with Step 2 to find recipes you do have that use the ingredients you already have or (wait, it gets better) Step 2: Recipes: Add your own or grab off the web. (If I believe in it, the baking powder will work on the sheer force of my will! Wait, those raisins are HOW old?) I'll add dates myself, I'm not a total slacker. Step 1: Food: Add in the stuff you have (ooh, with a barcode scanner that uses your iSight camera and connects to an all-knowing database in the sky, I have a dream.) Expiration dates a must. The absolute all-time, full-on, crazy cool cooking app in the entire known universe! Now anyone with any common sense knows butterscotch filling is a main course and dog bones go with the after-dinner liquors. And you can get some bizarre results: based on my ingredients, I searched for a first course and dog bones appeared as #1 in the results followed by butterscotch filling. It works best with just a basic set of items. You have to remove items to winnow down the results.

Excellently cool, but you can bog it down by adding too much stuff like too many kinds of cheese, too many spices and condiments. I've also found a website: where you create an account, add in the stuff in your pantry and it will find recipes based on those ingredients. I'm not going to keep it, but I can see some potential there, it's just missing some deal breaking features and it feels like a work in progress.

This morning I downloaded and started playing with Pantry, a free app to track what's in your kitchen, create shopping lists, sync to the cloud and there's an iPhone app you can buy for 2.00 to download lists to your phone. I'm boosting recipes from everywhere to add to my repertoire and creating a family recipe collection so we don't fight about what goes in Bubbie's Brisket. I got MacGourmet as part of a bundle (Dec 2008) and it's become one of my favorite apps. Given that this is an editable field in recipes, it would be useful to search by this! Again, since the developers do not reply to emails, I'm not sure if there is a solution. This prevents comparison of recipes.įinally, I'm not really sure, but I couldn't find a way to create smart recipe lists based on preparation/cooking times. Also, command-~ normally switches windows, but this does not work in MacGourmet. For example, the default 'OK' button is often highlighted, but pressing 'return' on the keyboard does not click it, as expected under OS X. While this is more fiddly, this option prevents this confusion. Some other programs I have used also allow user-defined ingredients. Also, depending on the name of ingredients listed in different recipes, the shopping list can produce separate listings for flour, plain flour, and flour (plain), etc. Alternatively, user-defined page breaks would be helpful. The shopping lists could be formatted more intelligently, with page breaks at logical spots, such as between shops. The chef view really needs a split view to allow simultaneous viewing of ingredients and instructions. Not good when you have a handful of raw chicken. Many recipe instructions refer to the ingredients for quantities, but the chef view forces you to scroll up to the top. Perhaps a user-defined unit equivalence list would be useful, or at least a list of what MacGourmet's pre-defined conversions are. For example, if one recipe calls for 200 g of flour, and another for an ounce, the shopping list totals these to 201 g. The shopping list is often incapable of adding ingredients of different units correctly. Unfortunately, the developers haven't responded to emailed feedback, which always makes me wary of future development of a paid product.

A decent organisational tool, but there are several flaws.
