SC - recipe spreadsheet

[Morgainthe@aol.com]

There is  a nifty program called cooking companion by nutridata systems that has
a  mundane database of recipes, but the infinite  capacity to enter your own
recipes, by point and click then type in the directions. It has  an  incredibly
conplete database  of  ingredients  and you  can aadd your own as well. When you
have the  recipes you want, you drag  the name  of the recipe over  to the
shopping list, it lists all  the ingredients and automatically totals  up the
amounts of each ingredient. You can  resize the recipes to serve up  to 999
people. If you are  feeling really perverse, you can  makean  entry for
bukenade  for250, nget quite an  ingredient list complete with the nutritional
breakdown for the total calories for the whole batch and the  calories for 1
serving!  I find  it way more versitile than meal master which seems  to have
quite a large following but a more  cumbersomeinterface.
