Capture and Save Internet Recipes

Searching the internet for great recipes is fun...but what do you do when you find a good recipe? Most people print them and many people write them down but then you end up with a desk full of papers and no color ink left in your printer! To solve this problem, the big players in the recipe industry want you to create accounts on their websites. But then you have to ask yourself, "what website was I on when I found that really good crepe recipe? I have 15 accounts on 15 different websites and I can't remember where my favorite recipes are!" Cook'n Version 10 solves this problem once and for all!

When you find a great recipe on the internet simply click Capture and Cook'n will instantly import the recipe into your Cook'n Library, allowing you to then scale, print, and e-mail the recipe. Add internet recipes to your menus and make grocery shopping lists! Or, sync them with your mobile device (iPhone, iPad, or Android) for easy access in the kitchen! Cook'n puts internet recipes at your fingertips!
Synce Recipes with iPhone, iPad, and Android

The Cook'n Mobile Apps have been submitted to the Apple App Store and are waiting to be reviewed. When they become available some time in the next 30 days, those of you who own Cook'n Version 10 can sync your recipes with your mobile devices for easy access in the kitchen and grocery store.
Sync with the Cook'n Cloud

Backing up your recipes, synchronizing recipes between computers, and accessing your recipes from a remote location is easier than ever with the Cook'n Cloud service. When the mobile apps are released, the Cook'n Cloud service will go live and those of you who own Cook'n Version 10 will be able to create accounts and synchronize with the Cook'n Cloud!
Easy Upgrade

Since the file format for the Cook'n 10 recipe database has not changed, the upgrade process is simple and automatic!
Free Updates

In addition to receiving brand new software loaded with tons of new features, those who upgraded to Cook'n 10 last year received one free update after another. In fact, after 6 months, the number of new features, improvements, and enhancements were so significant that we sent out an e-mail entitled "50 Cool New Features" documenting them. Similarly, those who upgrade to Cook'n 10 now can look forward to many new features and free updates to come.
New Theme Pages

We made many improvements to all of the Cook'n themes and we added a new Page feature to display the text pages of those cookbook that contain both recipes AND text.

I have been a satisfied Cook'n customer since 1999, upgrading every time a new version came out. I have literally thousands of recipes entered into the recipe software and was looking forward to being able to make a family cookbook for Christmas presents. I ordered the recipe software from DVO directly and received it on December 5th. Version 10 does not install properly on my desktop computer at home, my son's new laptop, or my new desktop computer at work. I get an SQL error message, and Version 10 will not restore my huge .ck9 backup file...

***UPDATE***

I spoke at length with the company CEO last night (1/4/12), and he was able to resolve my installation and data file restoration issues. The company does stand behind their promises; however, they are overwhelmed by the perfect storm of circumstances:; Christmas holiday, new employees, employee illness, new product release and lots of customer service emails to answer.

The Cook'n product is definitely worth giving DVO the benefit of the doubt right now. I have changed my review from one star to five and encourage anyone who is having issues with Cook'n 10 to be patient.

I have used Cook'n for over a decade. I started using it to organize my recipes, but found the cookbooks on the Cook'n web site were wonderful too. I have upgraded my recipe software several times and Cook'n 10 is outstanding. The recipe software is not the only thing that is wonderful, the company as a whole are teriffic too. I had a downloading problem once that I couln't seem to figure out. The owner of the company, Dan Oaks, personally trouble shooted my problem live on my computer. That's what I call Integrity!! Also, be sure to sign up for the monthly newsleters! Dan and his wife Kathy show you how to cook a recipe on video. The bloopers at the end are hysterical!

I looked at more than 20 different organizer/cookbook programs, but none of them had all the features I was looking for - until I found Cook'n (v.10). I've only been using it for a short time, but so far, I absolutely LOVE it. I have a couple of favorite features. First, there's the option to capture recipes from the internet, including any photos shown. Then there's the option to add my own photo to any recipe. Since my goal is to have a photo with every recipe in the book, this is great. There are also various themes and other customizations to apply, whether to individual recipes or the entire cookbook and I appreciate that too.

Not only can you create your own cookbook(s), it even comes with a complete cookbook from the developer.

As for the company - they're great. When I first tried to use the recipe software, I couldn't get the print option to work. I submited a question to the company and I received a response very quickly. The representative kept in touch with me until it resolved and even offered to use a remote desktop option to take care of it for me. It turned out that my computer system was compromised, so it didn't come to that. However, once I got everything straightened out in my system, the program worked like a charm!

Try it. You won't be disappointed!
