It can be done without typing. I use ScanSoft OmniPage to make a doc and out
it into Master Cook in which I can search on any ingredient.

Yes if you find on let me know, too. Joe keeps thinking he'll find a
program that'll pick up 'all the chicken' recipes or 'all the recipes that
contain peanuts' in case he can't remember the recipe's name but knows it
had certain ingredients... but AFAIK that'd need each recipe to be typed
into a form and not just scanned, so there's noway in hades I'm going to
do that. So I stay with my printouts and recipe piles.

Boy, do we have recipes! We both cook, so it can be dangerous in our
kitchen. We don't have a relational data base for them. Frank keeps them
sorted into categories on CDRWs and uses a spread sheet so we know where
they are. The spread sheet helps because we also have a ton of Cuisine
and Bon Appetit issues that have things we want but haven't yet scanned.
If you find something I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Sorry about the o/t posting. It's much more comforting ro get
recommendations
from people you know - friends, even if you've never met them.

Ann's recipe database dates from the days of Win 3.11, & it's a work of
art to
keep it running under XP. Can anyone suggest a good current package?
We're
happy with freeware, shareware or commercial. The only problem with
commercial
is whether one that's available to you is readily available over here.

TIA, & apologies again for going o/t.
