I love the software [Home Cookin]. I
am very tech savy, but so many of the other software for recipes
are clunky to use, even with tech skills. Yours is simple and easy.
I love it! - S. Barton, Feb 2012
I have enjoyed Home Cookin. I like it
better than [dvo] Cook'n. It is easier to add recipes to. - L.
Jessup, Feb 2012
Simple to use. I was looking for a
fairly simple program to organize my own recipes. I was tired of
searching through my recipe box, torn out recipes from newspapers
and recipes that friends have shared over the years. Home Cookin
filled the bill and has worked perfectly for my needs. - PeeJay,

I love, love, love this software and
really wish I'd found it five years ago. That's when I had the
bright idea of making a family cookbook with recipes that had been
handed down from our grandmothers on down. I compiled recipes and
tried several other software programs to format, but wasn't happy.
After finding your program, I have just sent off our cookbook for
printing and will have it in time for Christmas! I love that I can
copy recipes I find out on the internet and print recipe cards of
the ones I want. This software is so capable but so easy to use!
Thank you so much! Happy Customer. - J. Carolus, Nov 2011
I am now the proud owner of your
recipe organizer software. What I have seen of it so far is great.
Thanks for putting this all together, as I am enjoying it very much
so far. I also own software by DVO Cookn' but I will be using yours
in the future as I enjoy the ease with which I can use it. - D.
Andrews, Oct 2011
I have spent SO much money on other
programs, but was extremely disappointed when I started using them.
I came across your website while doing a google search and now wish
that I had done that sooner. Not only is your software absolutely
perfect for what I want, but I was very impressed with what you
said in your compare section. Nothing could be closer to the truth.
I was misled by the "features" finding that not only were they
things I did not need, they made it more confusing. If you want to
use this as a testimonial, please do. More people should consider
this product above ALL others! - M. Isabell, Sep 2011
What a great program! Years ago I had
a DOS shareware program called "Edna's Cookbook" with 1300
personally typed in recipes. With the new computer operating
systems over the years I was unable to access old family recipes.
Thanks to Home Cookin I can now enjoy the ease of use that my old
program had and the best of what Home Cookin has to offer. Home
Cookin has so many useful features that to name them all here would
take up a lot of space and would not do it justice. I have used
other recipe programs and never found one that allows you to
customize your recipe data base as well as Home Cookin. Mountain
Software support is in a class all it's own. My advice, "BUY IT
NOW", you will never regret it. - C. Willy , May 2011

Absolutely the best. I have been
using this recipe software for years. I chose it after researching
various other programs and have been very satisfied with it. It is
very easy to use (especially importing recipes from the internet).
I have found that most recipes found in magazines are also online,
just go get them and put into the Home Cooking program (including
the picture) in minutes. The recipes can be printed, and it even
allows you to make a cookbook. You can search within the program
based on titles, ingredients, etc. The best thing about the
software, is Anthony Watson, who answers every email quickly (even
small questions about how to do things). I have never seen better
support for any software. I cant imagine any better recipe software
than Home Cookin! - B. Vellturo, May 2011

After many years of collecting
recipes and particularly wanting to preserve special ones from past
family members, I experimented with several trial versions of
recipe software. I was not particularly pleased with any
considering the high price. How fortunate to have found Home
Cookin! This software is GREAT and I've recommended it to others
wanting to preserve their own recipes. It is EASY to use, easy to
upload photos, easy to categorize, easy to customize with my own
chapter titles. I even include Household Tips and Homemade
Remedies, Beauty Secrets, Cleaning tips and other such information
I want to find quickly when needed. I really do like this software
and want to print my own cookbook to share with family and friends
one year for Christmas. It is also easy to save to flash drive when
visiting others for whom I may want to cook or share. You will not
regret the purchase! - Ranchmama, May 2011

After researching many recipe
programs, I tried Home Cookin and immediately new it was for me. I
couldn't stand some of the other ones that you had to enter
ingredients in a little box. Typing was much quicker for me and
less irritating than lining up a box. I email recipes to my adult
children so they can pick up the ingredients on their way home. The
format is really easy and very simple to use. I can make my own
categories and edit anything whenever I want, including my own
notes to myself. You are not limited to someone who has probably
never cooked before and use their limited outline. Believe me if I
could figure this program out, any one can. - Cooknsew, May

Great cooking software. I imported
recipes that I had in other software and frequently now add my
favorites from web sites. It is so easy to import the recipe and
illustration. I think the greatest asset of this software is it's
simplicity. I have had several questions to ask and have received
answers quickly as another user has mentioned. I heartily recommend
you give this a try, you will be delighted. I have used several
products in the past and don't expect to change again. - R.

I have been a user of your Home
Cookin software ever since you released it. I can't fully describe
how happy I am and how invaluable this program is. The simplicity
of interaction along with the final output is what makes this
program what it is. - D. Lowe, May 2011
After reviewing several recipe
programs I chose Home Cookin because the format was the easiest to
figure out. I had extremely limited knowledge of computers, except
I could type very well. My goal for buying a computer and learning
how to use it was to put my recipes on it for future use. This
program serves all my needs and exceeded my expectations. I have
raved about your program to all my friends and figured out how to
use it right away. Believe me this is the first time I could do
this with anything on a computer. You think in simple and basic
terms for a novice to figure out that's a gift on your part as a
programmer. - L. Tipton, May 2011
I have used Home Cookin for years,
after trying a number of cooking databases. The program is
terrific, technical support is super. For those budding cooks out
there. Take my word for it and give it a shot. - J. Wilson, May
2011
I have been a very happy user of Home
Cookin for several years. I was looking for software that would
allow me to quickly and easily enter the hundreds of recipes that
are scribbled on index cards and scraps of paper, then just as
easily find those recipes when I wanted them again. Most products I
found wanted to sell me their recipes first and if I insisted on
adding a few of my own, they might allow that too (at a premium
price!). Home Cookin comes with plenty of pre-entered recipes, but
the strength of the program is the ease with which I can make my
own entries. I don't think there is another product out there that
can touch the quality for this price. I haven't had any problems
with the software, but when I have contacted Mountain Software with
questions, they have always been very prompt and helpful with
answers. Upgrades have always had useful improvements and have been
easy and seamless to install. I have recommended Home Cookin to all
the serious cooks I know. - M. Shuck, May 2011
Great Software! I just purchased a
copy of Home Cookin' software and am in love with it. I had been
using Matilda cookbook software but it lacked what I consider to be
basic functionality, e.g, Matilda does not permit me to print out a
page of 4 recipe cards on card stock....the only way I could do
that with Matilda is to print out one recipe card at a time on
regular paper (ugh!!). So, here I am organizing my recipe card
file, which probably has hundreds of recipes clipped out and
scratched on every sort of paper..and I'm using Home Cookin' to do
it with ease. Thanks for this great product. - S. Kreisher, May
2011
I love this program! The best
cookbook software I've ever used. - J. LaFountain, Mar 2011
I really love my Home Cookin program.
Even a computer illiterate like me finds it easy and fun. - F.
Grimaldi, Feb 2011
I love your program. Ease of adding
recipes and photographs. Ease of categorization. Adding ingredients
to the grocery list via the recipe, such a brain saver. And boy do
I love the grocery list! I would lose my mind if I didn't have it.
In fact, my mini-laptop is a permanent fixture in the kitchen. When
we use the last of something, one click adds it to the list for us.
I'm hoping to pare down the amount of cookbooks I have by
constantly adding the best recipes to your program as I cook them.
Thanks for such an affordable and practical program. I continually
tell friends about it and hope they are smart enough to order it! -
R. Griffith, Jan 2011
I have been using your Home Cooking
software for a few years now and enjoy using it immensely. It does
everything I want a recipe file to do, and more. Thanks for a great
product - K. Grund, Jan 2011
I purchased your recipe organizer and
just love it. It is everything that you said it would be. I have
not run into one single recipe that I could not add to this program
easily including pictures. I love the simplicity of it. This
program is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, thank you,
thank you! Keep up the good work. - J. Cummings, Jan 2011
Congratulations on 18 years of
success! Keep up the great work. There are many, many recipe
programs out there, both apps and desktop and yours is still the
very best! - A. Meche, Jan 2011
Love the product [Home Cookin]! I
tried several other cookbook programs but yours is simple to use
and I can make grocery lists. - S. Falls, Dec 2010
User Friendly. This is a software for
you to put in your own recipes. Exactly what I was looking for.
Left side is for ingredients and the right side is your
instructions for the recipe. You create your own index, chapters,
as many as you want and you can even put a photo with the recipe.
Very user friendly. Everything is right there. Click this, type in
what you want. Click that, type in what you want. You can copy and
paste a recipe and photo from any website and paste it in your
cookbook. I have NO patience for computers and this was extremely
easy to do. Customer Service, via email is the best. Every question
I asked was answered promptly. I cannot say enough about the
service that goes with this software. I am having so much fun
putting in my recipes through this software. You gotta get this
software! - Lori, Oct 2010
(Review from Amazon.com)
I am thoroughly enjoying the Home
Cookin' software. Prior to finding it through web searches, I had
found other programs and had come close to purchasing another one,
but then I decided on yours because of the simplicity of it to
organize my recipes literally to be at my fingertips! - J.
Postell, Sep 2010
Just wanted to pass on some praise
for a great piece of software. I have used Home Cookin since it was
first released. It is the best and easiest recipe storage software
I have had the pleasure of using. Keep up the great work and thank
you for the greatest user friendly software out there. - D.
Lowe, Sep 2010
Thank you so much for the quick
response! I love your software...I'm so glad I bought it and I have
referred it to numerous people and encouraged them to buy it. I
really rely on this software now to make meals easier and keep the
meal budget in line. Thank you very much for a great product! -

The Best Recipe Software Ever. Home
Cookin' is the best software I've ever used. It does its job in a
remarkably user-friendly manner, has tremendous flexibility in
formatting, and is fast-fast-fast! Highly recommended. -

I have used Home Cookin for at least
two years. Prior to discovering this product I used another one.
Home Cookin is terrific! I have written a recipe column for a local
magazine and have all my recipes on your software. Thanks for all
the hard work. I recommend this whole heartedly. - J. Wilson,
Apr 2010
I have lots of cookbook software. I
have Big Oven and Cook'n to name a couple of the more well known
ones, plus several smaller programs. Some I bought before yours and
some after....I just like to try software and am always looking for
something better you know? Well today I was thinking about all the
software I have tried and the fact that I always come back to
yours. It is simple to use and easy to add recipes to. I like the
index and I especially like the shopping list. The others all have
something great going for them but overall I think I like yours the
best as I always keep coming back to it. - M. Agloro, Apr
2010
Thanks for building this software.
After buying a number of fairly expensive recipe programs, I do
like this the best for the flexibility. - J. Krueger, Mar
2010
Home Cooking is great. It's probably
the best cooking software of all and I have 20 programs. I just
deep six the last one, Big Oven. - A. Shepard, Jun 2009
I found no other program that equals
it for ease of use and portability. - D. Stark, Mar 2009
This recipe program is the first one
I've ever discovered that works for me... As far as I'm concerned,
this is the easiest and best recipe program ever. All the others
I've tried, maybe 10 of them over the years, require tedious entry
of each ingredient into separate fields, an effort I simply don't
have patience for. And there's the added benefit that I can carry
the recipes with me on a USB stick when I visit my second
residence. THANKS to the developer for coming up with such a useful
software. - T. Colvin, Feb 2009, (BitsDuJour Daily Deals)
My wife and I have spent
approximately $300 over the years trying to find a good recipe
database before finding Home Cookin. We especially liked that we
could copy and paste from old programs. No retyping all the work we
did over the years. That's worth a million dollars to me. Love
making PDF recipe books with it, so easy. And my wife carries it on
a thumbdrive everytime she goes to a friend's house. Whatever you
do, don't even THINK of buying anything else, especially one where
it requires a CD to be inserted to run. Those kinds are slow as
molasses and if you lose the CD, you have lost everything you did
previously. Home Cookin is lightning fast, it has pure speed, and
it's idiot proof to use. - D. Roper, Feb 2009
After researching and testing several
different software cookbooks I find yours to make the most sense,
be the least overwhelming, and I love that it is not preloaded with
lots of recipes. I already have stacks of recipes cut out that I
will never cook! Kudos to you for developing a user friendly
no-nonsense program that includes a grocery list for real people. -
A. Meche, Jan 2009
Thanks for your quick reply and for a
great product. I looked around before purchasing this software and
it is by far the best I've seen. Nice and easy and not cluttered,
exactly what I want. - S. Erback, Jan 2009
