After a year of fooling around with Living Cookbook, I still cannot use it. Unless you ARE VERY computer literate, which I am not, it’s a waste of money. Even my husband who is very computer wise, couldn’t work it out after I even printed out the tutorial.They say that it’s “easy to use.” That is a joke.
It is needlessly complicated, and one of those programs that some dope who doesn’t actually know how to cook thought up to make make money. They put their own crappy recipes on it, (Campbell’s Soup? Give me a break) and the inventory has their own inventory in no particular order – not by item or even alphabetical. Senseless.
Save your money.

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

The main problem with this program is this insane registration requirements and total lack of support. The registration is the same hassle as installing windows and the only support is through a forum where you have to register for that too. Also the inface is clunky and looks about 20 years old. None of the pieces really work together On the up side you can export stuff to a lot of different formats so when you get something better, as I am, you won;t need to reenter you recipies

I was unable to get this software to so much as install without generating a ‘fatal error’. I joined the ‘forum’, that this company calls its product support, and got no help, so I returned the software.

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.
