Summary

PDA Cookbook, by WakefieldSoft, LLC, is a full electronic cookbook package.

Overview

Manufacturer: WakefieldSoft, LLC
Platform: Palm/Windows
Current Version: Palm: 4.3.0

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • interfaces with Handyshopper
  • Easy to enter recipes
  • Can make menus, shopping lists
  • Imports from Master Cook

Cons

  • The layout of the screen is a little small for using in the kitchen.

Why Did I Download/Buy This?

I wanted something on my PDA to hold my recipes so that I could look up ingredients no matter where I was. I also wanted to be able to push all the dishes I had selected into HandyShopper so that I could go shopping without having to retype anything.

How Do I Use This?

I keep all my recipes in Mastercook. Once a month or so, I export to PDACookbook. When I am doing menu planning away from my home, I can pop open PDACookbook to look up recipes. I also (infrequently) use it in the kitchen to check recipes I am making.
