Mastercook support site

[KrisD]

Hi All,

Here is the link to the knowledge base (http://support2.vugames.com/vug/search.aspx) for Mastercook.

This takes you to a general support page, and you have to select your mastercook version from the product drop-down menu. (sorry there's no elegant way for me to post a direct link)

There is also a great group at yahoo groups, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MastercookDiscussion, that is a great place to find answers to problems you might be having withyour Mastercook.

:help: Can anyone tell me how to import recipes from the board into my mastercook program?

This is from a previous post, hope it helps! You might also try the MC help file for more detailed help if this doesn't answer your question.


When you find a recipe on the page you want to import into MC, one at a time you highlight the title and click the "Title" box, then highlight the ingredients and click the "Ingredients" box, and so on, even importing a picture with it if you so choose. When you are done you click the "add to recipe list" and it adds the recipe to the import list. When you are done on the 'net, you click the "list" link and click the "save to mastercook" button and it opens mc8 and asks you where you want to put the recipes, puts them there all ready in the proper format AND with the internet hyperlink in the proper source space, so no more "where did I get this recipe from?".

Icing, I just got version 8 and here's how I figured out how to add ingredients. I don't know if it's the best or only way, but it worked for me.
Click on Tools then Ingredient List. Then click New and type in the name of the item. I found I had to fill in both the Serving Size and Is equal to Weight boxes to get it to calculate correctly. I think it's for stuff like peanut butter where it says serving size 2 TBS (32g), you put 2tbs in the Serving size and 32 grams in the Is equal to weight. Though I've tried just putting 32 g in the serving size box it didn't work right until I put 32 grams in the is equal to weight box too. Then fill in the calories, fat, etc.
Another thing to look out for is when you have a recipe that calls for a can of something. I've found it can use different can sizes so I've been putting in the actual ounces in the can to get it to come out right.

If you click in a row for an ingredient in a recipe then click Ingredient and then Ingredient Analysis it will give you the breakdown for that ingredient for the serving size. That way you can check if you've got approx the right amount.

does anyone know if mastercook runs on a mac?

[mahjong]

It says it requires Windows® 98/ME/XP.

Is Mastercook still a valid program? Do you have to purchase it. The link given in one of the post does not go to MCook. Help. Thanks.

They keep on updating it and you can still get it. It's from Sierra.
