MacGourmet News

Ten recipe managers entered the arena, and MacGourmet came out the victor.

Andy Affleck, a self described "long-time home cook and collector of cookbooks" writing "with that background and from the perspective of a cooking hobbyist" chose MacGorumet as his everyday recipe app in a recent TidBITS article.

MacGourmet is my top pick, and it's the program I found myself using on a daily basis. I recommend it for anyone, especially people who want to import recipes from Web sites.

He had lots of nice things to say, starting with:

MacGourmet has a beautiful, intuitive interface that made learning my way around easy and fast.

and moving onto the web import:

Of all the programs tested, MacGourmet fared the best at importing recipes from the Web. Every recipe I tried from a wide variety of Web sites and email messages imported nearly flawlessly.

He did have some issues with the just released Nutrition 1.0, but like MacGourmet itself, I plan to streamline and optimize Nutrition based on what you, the users, want, so you can bet you'll see improvements over time.

And don't expect any "laurels sitting" in the future. There are still some great things coming, like meal planning, a new and improved shopping list, and more so stay tuned.
