Jessica Foust from TopTenREVIEWS shows how recipe software and online recipe sites can help you get organized, create cookbooks, even find out the nutritional facts of your own recipes.
The holidays are right around the corner. To get prepared for the big Thanksgiving Feast and other holiday parties, recipe and cookbook software will give you the tools to create culinary masterpieces. If you cook and use a computer this software can save you time and help you create a lasting archive of recipes from a variety of sources. But you can take it further by planning elaborate meals, grocery shopping, choosing recipes based on nutrition and special diet needs, estimating your food bill, and publishing your own cookbook.
TopTenREVIEWS has tested and rated the current recipe and cookbook products based on how well the recipes are organized, customization features like the ability to upload your own recipes and pictures, menu planner, and ease of use. The online recipe sites are rated on how many recipes they have, organization, culinary appeal, and their community which lets other cooks like you leave input. After reviewing the software, TopTenREVIEWS recommends these top products as the best in recipe and cookbook software and online sites.
