You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
The calculating of the nutrition was very good. The ability to convert recipe units would be very helpful.
Cons:
Too many parts of the program would never be used. Too many steps in using the different parts of the program.
Review:

I liked the idea of creating, organizing, and printing a recipe to use. The idea of a program to customize and store it for future use would be ideal. However, this program disappointed me, as I could not seem to get how it would help me. I wanted a program to use for my recipes and add new ones to get to quickly.

It had many factors incorporated into it that would not benefit an average cook. To use the program daily or weekly would constitute so much work that one would avoid using the whole program. It seemed that I was working on the recipes rather than printing or viewing to use it. The graphics were dull and would not encourage one to work further into working with the program.

I liked where one could copy the recipes from the internet but seemed too many steps to make it really useful.

The calculating the nutrition of a recipe was good. The ability to convert recipe units was very useful. It could help with the information for people that had special diets.

The helpful training of the program was a bit confusing and not easy to follow. It just seemed too many steps to be useful for an average computer person.

In conclusion, the program was not useful as a cookbook.

Conclusion:

The program was not a useful as a cookbook. I would rather have a program that would let me use it quickly and efficiently.
