Best recipe management software programs?

[healthy1]

I would like to know what recipe management software everyone likes best. I am doing the trial version of Living Cookbook, but what about Cook'n and other programs out there? What is your favorite recipe software and why? Thanks!

I've used Cooking Aficionado for the past 4 years because I like the freedom it gives me. I can enter whatever I want into whatever field I want, create categories, upload pictures. It's simple. It's also a free download.

The things that other programs have that this one doesn't have (and I don't miss) are things like nutritional calculators and complex categorizing systems.

I love Mastercook. I have been using it for years now.

I'm a Living Cookbook fan, though I don't use all the features! I love the ease with which it works!

Another Mastercook fan here. I've also used it to produce many Cookbooks.

I definitely want to be able to print cookbooks one day. If anyone has a picture or two of how their cookbooks turn out I'd love to see them! So far Living Cookbook seems to satisy what I'm looking for, but if I come across something it can't do that I'm looking for I might have to see if Mastercook has a trial version. Thanks for the posts. Keep them coming!

Same here.

Here's another vote for MasterCook. Not only do I keep my recipes in it, but I use it as a general nutrition tracker. Each day, I enter everything I've eaten as one big "recipe," and then I print out my nutritional information for the day. Helps me keep track of my sodium, potassium, and calcium.

Cheers,
