(T)hanks for putting out an recipe management application for OS X that finally has it right. I registered within 20 minutes of demoing A Cooks Books. Great work! - Eric, a registered user

This piece of software rocks! I have imported my Mastercook recipes into A Cook's Books with no problem at all. I have downloaded two other recipe programs and this one in my opinion IS the best. I highly recommend it! - (Comments borrowed from VersionTracker)

What you have here is the best...combination of features in a recipe program I have seen. The scaling is way better than anything else out there...The nutrition database and ability to edit it, along with the flexibility of printing recipes or not with the shopping list really adds to the overall usablility of the program in a professional setting. - A registered user and elder care home operator.

I totally forgot Mastercook after 6 years of use. - A registered user.

This is great! I have been searching for recipe management software for Mac OS X for months. All of the others that I have found ...all fall flat, even with the basic stuff. I think they spent too much effort trying to make cutsey user interfaces making their programs difficult to use in the process. Your approach, a very straight forward, very Mac OS X like interface is refreshing. - Andrew, Personel Chef and registered user.

This remains the BEST shareware program I have EVER purchased. You are incredibly dedicated. Many thanks and best wishes. - A registered user.

I purchased A Cook's Books almost immediately after trying it out. The software is easy-to-use with a great interface that makes it quick, easy, and almost painless to enter recipes. Thank you for actually using the Mac OS X interface (instead of creating your own as so many others do). - A registered user.

GREAT!...Tony responds so quickly to problems, its almost like living next door. If I have a problem, I just holler over the hedge, and Tony answers! This is a Great replacement for MasterCook for Mac, on its way to becoming Most Excellent. - A registered user. (Comments borrowed from VersionTracker)

I just wanted to say thanks for the continual improvements you're making to this product. I love it. Thanks for the great product! - A registered user.

Thank you, Tony for such a quick response...I am so excited about this program...I was able to transfer all my recipes from MasterCook - so easy! - A registered user.

I'm am now using your software pretty intensively and have a couple of wishes...You've solved both of my issues in just a few hours - yikes! - A registered user.

Don't worry about "beta" designation. It's a beta program because the author keeps adding new features and making the program better, not because it's in at an "experiment on users" level.... The interface simplicity is nice after dealing with MC. I don't see any downside to this program and look forward to it becoming better and better - (Comments borrowed from VersionTracker)

Excellent Cooking app. No more classic. The only reason for me to use classic ( to use MasterCook ) is finally is gone! The developer is EXTREMELY responsive with help! - A registered user (Comments borrowed from VersionTracker)

Marvelous.
It's become my iTunes for cooking. Very simple and fun to use. Very committed developer, responsive ... It imports MasterCook files (which are all over the web), most of the other programs available don't seem to be able to do that (at least I wasn't able to get them to). You can't beat the price (and I'm happy to support at the beta stage, esp. when I'll get the 1.0 and beyond at no extra charge). - A registered user. (Comments borrowed from VersionTracker)

I can't actually believe that (A Cook's Books) is still a beta, given how much it can do in such a clean, uncluttered interface. - A registered user from England.

I absolutely love your software!!  I spent a week downloading and trying out different recipe software.  None compare! - A registered user.

I'm using it more than MasterCook - A registered user.

This is the best cookbook software I have been able to find for MAC OS X - A registered user.

Appreciate your great customer support. - A registered user.

This program is anthropomorphic (to use a favorite word of Jobs') in its simplicity. That means it will be easily and frequently used. - A registered user. (Comments borrowed from VersionTracker)

Your minimalist approach is superior. - A registered user.

I REALLY like the separate ingredient slots in your app. It makes the shopping list feature actually functional. - A registered user.

(A Cook's Books is)...a nice Cocoa application with a clean and simple interface. You priced it nicely also. - A registered user.

I am REALLY loving your app... been spending a little time every evening entering recipes (have about 50 entered so far... still quite a ways to go!). This is going to be a wonderful tool for me. And, fyi, you've designed the app so that data entry is very easy and intuitive. - A registered user.

Even though I already have two other recipe management software packages, neither of which I have started using, I really like the interface and features of your software.

I think I will try the Chinese Pie. It looks good. - A registered user.

I especially appreciate the attention you give to adding many attributes to a recipe like author, book source, etc.

I downloaded your program a few days ago and I think it's an outstanding piece of software. - A registered user from Germany
