Plan. Cook. Enjoy

So what would you rather have – a small box stuffed with pieces of paper that is, well, mostly in order and where, after some frantic looking, you’ll be able find what you wanted? Or a nice, tidy, well organized, easily searchable file? That’s a trick question, right?

Get rid of the box.
Think of MacGourmet Deluxe as the iTunes for recipes. Enter a recipe and you have instant access to all the information about ingredients, directions, preparations, notes, nutritional values – even a picture. Just try and put that on a 3 x 5” card! When you need to find your favorite recipe, you won’t have to thumb through a bunch of cards. With the search function in MacGourmet Deluxe, finding your favorite dish is a click away.

Chef, Cook, Foodie. Which one are you?
With MacGourmet Deluxe, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a pro or just love to eat and entertain. All your recipes and everything pertaining to them are all right at your fingertips. MacGourmet Deluxe allows you to add steps to your recipes – details, images, tags and highlighting – even merging selected steps. You can scale recipe amounts based on the size of the meal you want to make. For planning family meals or a special sit-down dinner, use the Mealplan feature to outline and organize your meals. Simply drag and drop a recipe from your files to the day you select. Don’t worry about writing out a shopping list – a simple click will give you a printable list of everything you need.

Beyond the basics.
MacGourmet Deluxe takes you beyond the kitchen. The Nutritional Database included in MacGourmet Deluxe will keep you up-to-date on the nutritional value and details of all your recipes. MacGourmet Deluxe also helps you to quickly and easily build up your recipe collection. With its powerful import function, you can centralize the recipes you’ve collected from multiple recipe sites. Select from over 40 supported sites, such as Epicurious.com, AllRecipes.com, Bonappetit.com or CooksIllustrated.com, to name just a few, then use MacGourmet Deluxe’s Import Recipe from Web Page feature, and your recipe – pictures, directions and ingredients – is directly imported into your collection – all without ever typing one word. And if you own MacJournal, you can take advantage of the integration between MacGourmet Deluxe and MacJournal and post your recipe to your own blog account.

If you cook, you love to share.
People who cook just naturally love to share their creations. That’s why we’ve included a Cookbook Builder in MacGourmet Deluxe. This robust feature puts the production of a real cookbook right at your fingertips. Create a cover, a table of contents and divider pages; insert pictures and format the pages and the size of the book. Turn it into a PDF that’s publication and print ready so you can send it to the printer of your choice. What a great gift!

Wait! There’s more!
MacGourmet Deluxe comes filled with hundreds of recipes from places like the National Chicken Cooking Contest and the National Beef Cook-Off, to name a few. You can add to those recipes by visiting the macgourmet.com web site to download recipe packs such as, Pork: The Other White Meat, which are sample recipes from The National Pork Council. Yep, you guessed it – Mariner worked with the developer of MacGourmet and with his help we created MacGourmet Deluxe, which has all the extra features not available in MacGourmet, such as Nutritional Analysis, the Cookbook Builder and Meal Plan.

Make notes about your favorite wine!
MacGourmet’s Wine Notes feature allows you to catalog information such as winery, region, sub-region, vintage and style of your favorite wine. Record all your tasting and winery notes. Add a picture and the cellar information and-just like that-you’ll have more than just a memory of that wonderful glass of wine.
