I love cookbooks. I love developing recipes. But today I&#8217;m not sharing a recipe. I&#8217;m sharing ABOUT recipes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been cooking and collecting since I was a child. I&#8217;ve been writing and publishing recipe books since 1990.\u00a0\u00a0I have an entire bookcase of cookbooks and recipes&#8211;not counting the untold files on my computer that have never been printed out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to find a more automated way of keeping track of them. I knew there had to be &#8220;an App for that&#8221;. I went looking. I tried all the free trials I could find. I downloaded the free iPhone\/ iPad ones. I paid for one that didn&#8217;t have a trial&#8211;both for Mac and iPad version. Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>My perfect app would be one that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>is designed for\u00a0<em>very easily<\/em>\u00a0adding my own recipes. (I don&#8217;t need a ton more recipes that don&#8217;t fit the way I cook. But I do need a FAST way to get my recipes in.)<\/li>\n<li>allows me to add my own categories. (I don&#8217;t prepare food traditionally, so I don&#8217;t organize by traditional categories.)<\/li>\n<li>allows me to customize the look and layout. (at least to some degree. Visuals are very important to me.)<\/li>\n<li>allows me to very easily pull together meal plans, for all meals (and, ideally, for me to be able to customize those meals.)<\/li>\n<li>works cross platform, with corresponding iPhone\/iPad app, so I can add recipes and meal plans to those and have them automatically all sync together, and so I can\u00a0prep food from my iPad in the kitchen. (Reading the recipe to me would be nice, but not a deal breaker.)<\/li>\n<li>includes a grocery list maker. This is not a deal breaker for me, since I mainly &#8220;cook&#8221; from our pantry, since we shop monthly from a natural food delivery. But it would be a nice, and probably expected, feature.<\/li>\n<li>includes nutritional information? This is not a deal breaker for me at all, but again it could be a nice feature for writing my recipe books.<\/li>\n<li>links back to original recipe, if online? Again, not a deal breaker, but nice to be able to go back to the source, especially for sharing with others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\">\nWhat&#8217;d I find?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Come back tomorrow and find out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a true foodie.
