Living Cookbook makes it easy to enter your recipes. You can type them in, scan them (using the OCR software that came with your scanner) or copy them from the Internet. The software also makes it easy to transfer your recipe collection from other recipe management programs such as MasterCook, Meal-Master and BigOven.
| 
You can print your recipes on any paper size supported by your printer. This includes US Letter, A4, index cards (3x5, 4x6 and 5x9) and many more. You can even print on Avery 5389 (two perforated 4x6 cards on an 8.5x11 sheet) and Avery 5388 (three perforated 3x5 cards on an 8.5x11 sheet).
| | 
The meal planning calendar lets you drag and drop your recipes onto the calendar. You can view your meal plans by day, week or month. Creating a shopping list for a meal plan is as simple as clicking on the appropriate days and selecting "Add to Grocery List" from the Action menu.
| 
Living Cookbook lets you calculate nutrition for any recipe, ingredient, menu or meal plan. You can customize your display to show over 150 different nutrients including calories, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and more. You can even calculate Weight Watchers Points.
| | 
Living Cookbook makes it easy to publish your own cookbook complete with table of contents, pagination and index. You can preview and print your cookbook directly from Living Cookbook or export it as a Microsoft Word (DOCX) document for additional editing.
| 
Living Cookbook can create shopping lists organized by grocery aisle. Just add your ingredients, recipes, menus and meal plans and the software will do the rest. It even knows how to convert units that you cook with (e.g. "10 Tbs minced garlic") into units that you shop for (e.g. "1 head garlic"). If you enter the prices of your most commonly shopped-for ingredients, Living Cookbook can calculate the total cost of your grocery list as well as subtotals for each store.
| | 
Living Cookbook has a built-in web browser that makes it easy to save links to your favorite recipe websites. It even has a built-in RSS feed reader so you can subscribe to "recipe of the day" and other cooking-related RSS feeds.

I've been using Mastercook for a number of years now but since switching over to Windows 7 have found it useless since there was an incompatibility with the copying feature from the internet. To solve my problem I started exploring other digital cookbooks. Out of about four to five different product title trials, the Living Cookbook excelled in every category I was looking for.
I don't use the menu features or the shopping list or nutrition info, though if I did I would not be disappointed for it has a great grasp on what is needed in those areas. The areas I do use the cookbook for are storing recipes both personal ones as well as ones found online. Importing from Mastercook was a snap so I didn't have to lose the many hours spent in the past with existing recipes. Copying from the internet for new recipes is just as easy, you highlight the recipe on the webpage, copy, paste and select the sections (i.e. ingredients, procedure, servings, etc). It even allows you to paste photos and add reviews.
The layout and design are very intuitive and also gives you a section for reference additions. Don't remember how to care for your cast iron pan, find it on the internet and paste it in your reference section. Highly recommended.

So far, I like the product. I had a very old product (from Expert Software) that was no longer supported and recently got a new computer. I was worried that I would lose all of my old recipes. This was the only software that I researched that would import the recipes properly. I successfully (and easily) got them all transferred over! I haven't used many of the other features yet, but am thrilled that I now have a product that will continue to be supported in the future through other computer upgrades later on.

I have only had limited time to work with the Living Cookbook so am still feeling my way around it.

So far, so good. Easy to use and compatible with Windows Vista. Good assortment of recipes and easy to add my own. Easy to move recipes from one place to another. Still have not tried importing recipes from Internet sites. That will be a test of whether or not the product is excellent, but so far, very happy.
