I love collecting recipes as a past time and hobby. I have DVO and
about 6 other software programs. But, I want you to know that I love
yours over all the others for the ease of use and the features you
have. Thanks again for all your work in making such a great product.
- D. Andrews, May 2021
I just purchased your Home Cookin software and want to say a sincere
thanks for this wonderful, user-friendly, intuitive program. I was
about to give up looking when I happened upon your program. This
program blew the other super-hyped programs out of the kitchen. I
love the ease of downloading recipes from the Internet, with amazing
accuracy. It does everything I was looking for a recipe program to do
and more. The one thing that had bothered me was the lack of cloud
storage. I was pleasantly surprised to find that when I received my
purchased version, there was my cloud storage! I just wanted to tell
you how much I am enjoying your software and say a sincere thanks for
this wonderful program. - L. Turner, Mar 2021
I just purchased your software and want you to know that it does
everything I wanted! I was a programmer in my earlier days and I know it's
so important to make everything as simple as possible and easy to
use. You've done that well. - J. Sumara, Jan 2021
This is best recipe database I have ever found, and I have used it
for at least the past decade without so much as a bubble or
hiccup in all that time. - L. Gratton, Oct 2020
I just wanted to let you know that I am THRILLED to find something
with the functionality I wanted without a cloud requirement, a
monthly subscription, or tons of creepy data mining and ads. It's
simple, easy to use, and I'm super happy with it. It has been ages
since I've bought software because I actually liked it rather than
because I need something and my purchase was the least sh*tty option.
Thank you so much! - S. Gillooly, Sep 2020
I just want to say THANK YOU, very much for a great application. I
have been in the retail food businesses for a long time and enjoy
cooking, especially for family get togethers. Instantly I can adjust
from 6 servings to 12 or 3 servings. WOW. I like this application,
and will recommend to friends and family. - G. Mitchell, Apr
2020
I've been using Home Cookin for many, many years. I’ve never found a
better software. I usually confine myself to the recipe section, but
after reading your newsletter today, I clicked on the blog tab (that
I completely overlooked). Reading the blog is much easier than
surfing the internet cooking sites looking for appealing recipes. I
think it's a great feature! - D. Stark, Jun 2019
Home Cookin is by far the best program for collecting and storing
recipes. It's so forgiving and stable and has by far the best display
for a recipe, clean and uncluttered. Your web importer is just the
ants pants, beats MasterCook hands down. Thanks for a great program.
- J. Pullman, May 2019
I absolutely love Home Cookin and don’t know what I would do without
it! - B. Justice, Mar 2019
I really like your program. I like the fact that I can keep it as
simple and basic as I want electronically, and still have the option
to expand to other electronic means. - B. Okes, Mar 2019
Yours is the most practical and user-friendly of the many, many
products I have tried over the years. I hope you continue your good
work for many years to come. - D. Sansone, Feb 2019
We LOVE this software! It is totally perfect now that we can export
to the cloud and then pull it up on a tablet. That is what I have
been looking for, for many years. I can put my tablet on a stand in
the kitchen and cook to my heart's content. Keep up the good work! -
K. Warren, Oct 2018
I've been using Home Cookin for at least 7 years and LOVE how easy it
is to use and search for recipes. Whenever I have a question about
the software, I've emailed the developer (WAY COOL that you're
dealing directly with him) and he has always responded promptly and
patiently provides step-by-step guidance. I love that I can now view
all my recipes, just as I've organized them, on my mobile
devices/tablets. He has continued to improve the product and he
excels in taking care of his customers. - T. Fitzgerald, Aug
2018
I have been using a number of cooking programs for over 20 years.
Home Cookin is really good! I was able to very easily download a
recipe from the list of sites you have available. I have to say I am
addicted to this program already. - D. Pardo, Jan 2018
Your program is great - I have two homes and the cloud base storage
has been a blessing. I am able to retrieve favorite recipes on my
phone or Kindle if I forgot to bring my laptop. Thanks for a program
that works and is easy to use. I am finally cleaning my cookbook
shelf of all the scraps of paper recipes. - V. Bolton, Oct
2017
I love your software, it's the best on the market and so easy to use.
- B. Mollis, Oct 2017
I just bought Home Cookin, and am very glad that I did. I'm just
about to embark on an LCHF diet. I wanted to save all the recipes,
but also all the info which came with the course, and Home Cookin
allows me to do just that. Not only that, but I have tried other
software to try and save these recipes, but have only managed screen
imports with them. To my great surprise Home Cookin just imported
them using your web import feature. Brilliant. So, I am very glad
that I bought your software, because I couldn't have done it with
anything else as easily. - S. Lord, Apr 2017
I just wanted to write and tell you how much I LOVE this program. I
have been slogging through [dvo] Cook'n for about 2 years and finally
I had it with the 2 minute or longer wait for startup, difficulty and
time consuming printing, and random freeze-ups that seemed to come
with all the bells and whistles. 5 minutes into the free trial I was
in love with Home Cookin. Simple and easy to enter and organize
recipes. Seconds to print in any format I want. Ridiculously fast
uploads to the cloud backup and easy access from anywhere with
internet access. It does everything I need super simple and super
fast. Thank you! - S. Rasch, Nov 2016
Your software is just what I was looking for. It has many facets but
is simple in format and very easy to use. Most anyone can make use of
all of its features, without having to go through a lot of trial and
error. - D. Kurtzman, Sep 2016
Brilliant update, so clean and uncluttered, which is what drew me to
Home Cookin all those years ago. It amazes me how you can improve on
what I consider to be perfection, but you have - well done. I love
it! - R. Foster, Aug 2016
I love this software! It is far superior to the previous software I
was using. - J. Bruer, Aug 2016
I've been using Home Cookin for a long time and love it. Best recipe
program I've found and I've tried a bunch of them. I love the new
cloud backup feature even though I keep a backup on a flash drive as
well. - J. Krueger, Jul 2016
I just want to say that I LOVE this software. I have Living Cookbook,
Mastercook and am now trying to return [dvo] Cook'n. I was not happy
with any of these. Mastercook was so buggy, I stopped using it and
went on a search and luckily found Home Cookin. Thank you! - E.
Payne, Nov 2015
I've used Home Cookin for many years now and love it! It's the only
recipe program that I recommend to others. Thank you for continuously
making improvements. - J. Seaton, Oct 2015
I purchased your software and would recommend it over any on the
market. It is the best I could ever imagine after researching all
that is out there. - P. Cunningham, Sep 2015
I love the Home Cookin software. I have two other recipe programs.
Home Cookin instantly became my favorite. It is so easy to add new
recipes whether importing or manually copy and paste, it's quick and
simple. Love it! - T. Stevenson, Jul 2015
Thank you for the best recipe database I have ever used. It is a
fantastic product and the updates are a wonderful addition. I have
recommended your program to several of my friends and they also love
using it. - K. Cooke, Jun 2015
I love, love, love this recipe program. With every improvement it
gets better and better. I can't thank you enough for what you have
done to make such a miserable task so much more pleasant and down
right easy. Keep it coming! - J. Cummings, May 2015
I just wanted to let you know that you have the best recipe organizer
in the world. I am fully addicted! Every single bit of cooking thing
goes into my little ginger man. Household tips, cosmetics, garden
tips, saving tips... and cooking! - G. Schwab, May 2015
I particularly like its simplicity. I have tried almost every recipe
program around and have bought several. Most of them are too
complicated, try too hard, and are littered with things I don't want
or never use. Home Cookin is looking good! - J. Pullman, May
2015
Your program is the best one I've ever found. It's simple to use and
lots of fun. I use it every day and would never use any other. It's
refreshing to know that you take the time to communicate with your
users and address their concerns. Thank you. - K. Lucas, Mar
2015
We have had Home Cookin for a year now and have enjoyed it immensely.
The product is always improving. Any time we have had a problem or
need help understanding a procedure, Anthony is only an email away
and always has a quick reply. You can't go wrong with this product. -
J. Skinner, Feb 2015
I have used this recipe software for close to 10 years. Have not
found one to compete with Home Cookin to date. I love it! - W.
Geithman, Feb 2015
What impresses me most is the speed and stability of the program. I
was a Cook'n (DVO) user for years, but their software is buggy, and
despite all the bells and whistles it offers, I find you only use
certain ones, and the ones you use should work. Thanks again for
putting out a fine program. - P. Mazzone, Jan 2015
I have had several recipe programs and Home Cookin is by far the
best. This is the easiest and most complete cookbook program I have
ever had. - G. Lippincott, Sep 2014
I love, love, love this software, particularly the web and manual
imports. - C. Comstock, Sep 2014
Thank you for such a fantastic program. It is so easy to use with a
common sense way of entering recipes. The web import is super, and I
like that I can enter general information as well as recipes. Keep up
the great work. - M. Heer, Jul 2014
Thank you so much for your quick response especially on a Sunday! You
have provided excellent customer service and I will be sure to share
my experience with my friends. I have also used Living Cookbook for
several years and have a very difficult time finding what I am
looking for using their search feature. I have added almost 100
recipes to Home Cookin and have no difficulty finding what I am
looking for using your "find" feature. - Kris, Mar 2014
I absolutely love your Home Cookin Software. Before purchasing I
tested a number of other recipe software programs. Most of them were
flashier and seemed to have more bells and whistles, but they were so
much more difficult to work with, it was surprising. They weren't
nearly as flexible as Home Cookin. Or as incredibly easy to use. Over
the past year I added all our favorite family recipes to the program.
Some were input manually, some were copied and pasted from Word
documents (sent by family members), others were imported from
websites. The software handled all of them easily without any
problems. - D. Stone, Dec 2013
I have been using your home cookin program for more years than I can
remember. Have given it to my friends as gifts. I absolutely love the
program. It is so easy to use. It is well organized and I know I can
find whatever I am looking for. - M. Borlak, Dec 2013
I have used Home Cookin for recipe storage for many years now. It is
very easy to use. Most of all it is easy to print out and share
recipes. It save lots of time trying to remember where I found that
recipe because I just store them in one place. - G. Stormer, Dec
2013
I love that I can enter ingredients and directions in a text format
and not have to tab to different spaces for quantity, measurement,
and ingredient. It is so much easier than any other recipe software
out there today! I love the way I can make as many categories as I
want and the way it prints out a recipe. Thank you for creating this
great way to keep my recipes. - K. Rizzo, Dec 2013
I just wanted to let you know how much I love this software! I looked
for a long time for a recipe program. Tried a bunch of them too.
Finally bought Home Cookin' and it just keeps getting better and
better! I love the ability to capture recipes from select websites. I
also use the make your own cookbook function to create gifts for
family and friends! Keep up the good work. I'm going to be a lifetime
customer. - D. Schneider, Dec 2013
Simple, clean and intuitive software. I began to research recipe
software and I downloaded several demos to try out. Of all the ones I
tried, I preferred the simplicity and ease of use of Home Cookin. It
does what I want without the extraneous features and complicated
instructions present in other programs. I've experienced virtually no
problems with this software in all the years I've used it but
occasionally I have had some questions. In each and every instance
when I contacted Mr. Watson for assistance, he has responded quickly
and helpfully. He takes justifiable pride in his work and he really
stands behind his products. - Lizellis, Feb 2013
Great job on the new version! After quite a few years this is still
the only software I recommend to people who want a recipe program.
It's well worth the cost! - D. Schwartz, Feb 2013
After days of testing various recipe programs, I chose Home Cookin
and I am THRILLED! How simple and amazingly convenient! Not too
complex, not full of stuff I don't want. - C. Dove, Feb 2013
I absolutely love the Home Cooking program. I have tried several
trial recipe programs and have bought a couple, much more expensive
than yours but they have way too much stuff that I personally don't
care for. They also are not always very user friendly. The ease of
use of Home Cookin is what attracted me to it. - J. Pszenny, Feb
2013
I purchased Home Cookin some time ago. I have looked at a few of the
others on the market, and the thing that's nice about yours is it's
utter simplicity. It loads really quickly and you don't have to use a
bunch of fields to paste things. - K. Schnaidt, Jan 2013
The Home Cookin software is exactly what I have been looking for.
Most of the programs are too complicated. I don't use or need all the
extra features. Your software does everything I need with no hassles.
- M. Murphy, Dec 2012
Easy to use. This software was just what I was looking for. I wanted
to be able to enter my own recipes in a simple format. A lot of
programs won't let you put in a range, such as 1/2 - 1 cup, but this
one will. The search feature is good. This program is very user
friendly. - S. Mathews, Sep 2012
Best software ever. I have been using this recipe software for years,
and it is by far the best one I found. I enthusiastically endorse
this product and encourage everyone to try it. - D. Liend, Apr
2012
Tried several different programs over the years for my personal
recipes, and this one is by far the best. The open format approach
makes it easy to add recipes and enter quantities without having to
use predetermined options. This also makes recipe entry much faster.
- cj543oregon, Apr 2012
I have enjoyed Home Cookin. I like it better than [dvo] Cook'n. It is
easier to add recipes to. - L. Jessup, Feb 2012
I love, love, love this software and really wish I'd found it five
years ago. That's when I had the bright idea of making a family
cookbook with recipes that had been handed down from our grandmothers
on down. I compiled recipes and tried several other software programs
to format, but wasn't happy. After finding your program, I have just
sent off our cookbook for printing and will have it in time for
Christmas! I love that I can copy recipes I find out on the internet
and print recipe cards of the ones I want. This software is so
capable but so easy to use! Thank you so much! Happy Customer. -
J. Carolus, Nov 2011
I have spent SO much money on other programs, but was extremely
disappointed when I started using them. I came across your website
while doing a google search and now wish that I had done that sooner.
Not only is your software absolutely perfect for what I want, but I
was very impressed with what you said in your compare section. I was
misled by the "features" finding that not only were they things I did
not need, they made it more confusing. If you want to use this as a
testimonial, please do. More people should consider this product
above ALL others! - M. Isabell, Sep 2011
What a great program! Years ago I had a DOS shareware program called
"Edna's Cookbook" with 1300 personally typed in recipes. With the new
computer operating systems over the years I was unable to access old
family recipes. Thanks to Home Cookin I can now enjoy the ease of use
that my old program had and the best of what Home Cookin has to
offer. Home Cookin has so many useful features that to name them all
here would take up a lot of space and would not do it justice. I have
used other recipe programs and never found one that allows you to
customize your recipe data base as well as Home Cookin. Mountain
Software support is in a class all it's own. - C. Willy , May
2011
Absolutely the best. I have been using this recipe software for
years. I chose it after researching various other programs and have
been very satisfied with it. I have never seen better support for any
software. I can't imagine any better recipe software than Home
Cookin! - B. Vellturo, May 2011
After many years of collecting recipes and particularly wanting to
preserve special ones from past family members, I experimented with
several trial versions of recipe software. I was not particularly
pleased with any considering the high price. How fortunate to have
found Home Cookin! This software is GREAT and I've recommended it to
others wanting to preserve their own recipes. - Ranchmama, May
2011
After researching many recipe programs, I tried Home Cookin and
immediately knew it was for me. I couldn't stand some of the other
ones that you had to enter ingredients in a little box. Typing was
much quicker for me and less irritating than lining up a box. I email
recipes to my adult children so they can pick up the ingredients on
their way home. The format is really easy and very simple to use. -
Cooknsew, May 2011
Great cooking software. I imported recipes that I had in other
software and frequently now add my favorites from web sites. It is so
easy to import the recipe and illustration. I think the greatest
asset of this software is it's simplicity. I have had several
questions to ask and have received answers quickly as another user
has mentioned. I have used several recipe products in the past and
don't expect to change again. - R. Morley, May 2011
I have been a user of your Home Cookin software ever since you
released it. I can't fully describe how happy I am and how invaluable
this program is. The simplicity of interaction along with the final
output is what makes this program what it is. - D. Lowe, May
2011
I have been a very happy user of Home Cookin for several years. I was
looking for software that would allow me to quickly and easily enter
the hundreds of recipes that are scribbled on index cards and scraps
of paper, then just as easily find those recipes when I wanted them
again. Most products I found wanted to sell me their recipes first
and if I insisted on adding a few of my own, they might allow that
too (at a premium price!). Home Cookin comes with plenty of
pre-entered recipes, but the strength of the program is the ease with
which I can make my own entries. I don't think there is another
product out there that can touch the quality for this price. - M.
Shuck, May 2011
I love this program! The best cookbook software I've ever used. -
J. LaFountain, Mar 2011
I really love my Home Cookin program. Even a computer illiterate like
me finds it easy and fun. - F. Grimaldi, Feb 2011
Home Cookin' is the best software I've ever used. It does its job in
a remarkably user-friendly manner, has tremendous flexibility in
formatting, and is fast-fast-fast! Highly recommended. - Heraldo,
Jun 2010
Thanks for building this software. After buying a number of fairly
expensive recipe programs, I do like this the best for the
flexibility. - J. Krueger, Mar 2010
Home Cooking is great. It's probably the best cooking software of all
and I have 20 programs. I just deep six the last one, Big Oven. -
A. Shepard, Jun 2009
This recipe program is the first one I've ever discovered that works
for me. As far as I'm concerned, this is the easiest and best recipe
program ever. All the others I've tried, maybe 10 of them over the
years, require tedious entry of each ingredient into separate fields,
an effort I simply don't have patience for. And there's the added
benefit that I can carry the recipes with me on a USB stick when I
visit my second residence. THANKS to the developer for coming up with
such a useful software. - T. Colvin, Feb 2009
My wife and I have spent approximately $300 over the years trying to
find a good recipe database before finding Home Cookin. We especially
liked that we could copy and paste from old programs. No retyping all
the work we did over the years. That's worth a million dollars to me.
Love making PDF recipe books with it, so easy. And my wife carries it
on a thumbdrive everytime she goes to a friend's house. Home Cookin
is lightning fast, it has pure speed, and it's idiot proof to use. -
D. Roper, Feb 2009
After researching and testing several different software cookbooks I
find yours to make the most sense, be the least overwhelming, and I
love that it is not preloaded with lots of recipes. I already have
stacks of recipes cut out that I will never cook! Kudos to you for
developing a user friendly no-nonsense program that includes a
grocery list for real people. - A. Meche, Jan 2009
I looked around before purchasing this software and it is by far the
best I've seen. Nice and easy and not cluttered, exactly what I want.
- S. Erback, Jan 2009
I've looked at many recipe software products and find yours to be the
easiest and most flexible when it comes to storing my own recipes and
not having to import someone else's cook books. Thanks for meeting my
needs. - S. Lain, Nov 2008
Thank You so much for Home Cookin'. Ever since I downloaded my first
version (3.0 I believe) I have accessed it to find or store some
recipe almost daily. I searched for years for a decent recipe
database to no avail until yours. - D. Hoppe, Nov 2008
I simply love this program. I've had several cookbook programs over
the years and find Home Cookin to be the most user friendly, easy and
versatile program I've ever had. I can do everything I want to do -
print recipes, enter my own recipes, copy and paste recipes from
other sources and email recipes. Keep up the good work! - L.
Markwald, Sep 2008
I have been looking for a recipe organizer software for a while and
finally I have found one that delivers what it promises! - P.
Buchanan, Jul 2008
I was very happy to find your Home Cookin software. I downloaded the
free trial and knew within minutes of trying it out that this was the
kind of program I have been looking for. I've tried others that were
so difficult to use. - S. Merrill, Mar 2008
I knew this was the program I wanted 5 minutes after I downloaded the
trial. Thanks for making it so easy to use. The essential basics are
covered and I have the flexibility to make it fit my needs. - V.
Liebegott, Apr 2007.
I have looked at other programs and find Home Cookin the simplest and
easiest to use. I especially like the free form units entry in the
recipe section. - I. Walsh, Oct 2006.
I have bought every cookbook program out there, and all the whistles
and bells they have on them, makes them so annoying to use. But Home
Cookin is fast, fun and easy to use. - S. Chase, Sep 2006.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the program! Was a frustrated DVO [Cook'n] customer,
it is deleted off my computer and the only one I have now is Home
Cookin! I was so frustrated with programs until I found yours. -
K. Jones, Apr 2006
I've had Master Cook for a few years but gave up adding recipes
because there were so many steps. I tried yours for only an hour and
immediately knew I had to buy it! It's so much easier to add or copy
recipes than Master Cook. - C. Lemanowicz, Feb 2006
I also own a few other recipe software programs but have always had
the best time with Home Cookin. The program is easy, it's clean, it
doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure things out and it really
does a good job of grocery planning. - L. Pfusch, Jan 2006
Over the last 1-1/2 years, I have purchased every piece of
Cookbook/Recipe software I could find. Without reservation or
exception I can tell you that Home Cookin is absolutely THE BEST!
Many of the other programs come in fancier packages, have fancier
designed interfaces, even offer features that Home Cookin does
not. And without exception, they are limited, inflexible,
unnecessarily difficult to use, obtuse, and just generally a big pain
in the kazoo! - T. Rayburn
Home Cookin is the best recipe software that I have come across and I
have tried quite a few. It is the most user friendly software I have
used. Thank you for creating something so simple for others to use. -
A. Cahill
I had looked at many versions of recipe and cooking software, but was
not satisfied with any of them, till I found yours. Absolutely the
easiest to use, simplest to use for a neophyte computer operator that
gave me any and all options for the best price. Thank you so much for
a wonderful tool. - S. Maciejko
It's exactly what I was looking for -- a program that is easy to use
without a gazillion features that I will never use. - M.
Anthony
Home Cookin is the recipe software I've been looking for! It has ALL
the features I need and is very easy to use. Your software comes
closer to exactly meeting my needs than any other software I have
ever acquired. - P. Hayes
I have tried several different cooking programs and yours is the
best. It's so easy to use, easy to find what I want, I can't see why
anyone would want to use any other recipe program! - K.
Wilhelm
