Key Gourmet for Windows by SoftKey International: Is there a program that I can purchase where I can transfer my recipes from his computer to a new program.

Greetings...just in case you are the owner of a 64 bit edition of Windows 7 I have successfully imported my recipes from Key Gourmet into Living Cookbook 2011. I just did the first one in less than 3 minutes and now I know what I am doing you can get it down to a couple minutes per recipe. Beats the tweedle out of losing the recipes, or keeping an old machine around just for KG. I am going to write up a "how-to" doc for my wife to use so she can help (we have over 500 recipes in Key Gourmet). If you would like a copy just post a reply to this.

Guylaine,Thank you for your additional question. It doesn't look like the recipes are in French, but I can send you a guide in French that shows what the program buttons do. SharonSAY Global

Hi Ele The downloadable recipe ebook is automatically sent by email the day after purchase. I apologize for the late reply. Dez Cuzzina

No sure yet. Can you buy your programs on the internet and download? Otherwise you have to buy the $80, external hard drive. Good luck.

no I do not believe a recipe book or anything comes with it. You can go to youtube on the net and get some info from some of the videos and such for using these.

I would back-up before. MasterCcook is so unreliable. I actually transferred my MC recipes to Cook'n which is now V11.3.8. Transfer was a bitch, not gonna lie to you. I have written MC many times and never received a response from any of the emails. Good luck but always back up

If you can scan your recipes into your computer you can cut and paste the document into the new recipe option of your account at Key Ingredient. It is really simple to copy the whole recipe into one of the blocks on the template and then cut and paste them into where they belong. On many of the recipes I have from magazines and books I was able to find an identical recipe or one that was close and I used the Cookmark button from Key Ingredient that is in my Bookmarks to import the recipe to my account. I typed the rest in myself. Hope that helps.

I successfully converted all my recipes from my 1995 Mac version of Master Cook Cooking Light to Master Cook Version 9.0. While all the recipes transferred, my menu's did not. Attaching a recipe to a menu in the older versions was far easier than the current, a major disappointment, but it's still the best software for capturing your own recipes and organizing meals.

No. The PC might have come with a short-term trial version (I don't recall) but you would have to buy or import a copy for permanent use. (I loaded my old copy onto the new PC, and it works fine.)

Hello, I haven't used MasterCook 9.0, but have used and use much earlier versions of MC--4.0 and 5.0--for precisely your pupose. My sister and I started out using and choosing from thier formats, but our book got so large, we are now using it in combination with Publisher so we can add additional features separate from the recipes. I'm not able to comment on the other product you mention. We started our project a little over 10 years ago. MC was the best one we found at the time. For health reasons and others, it has taken us a good while to complete our project, but we've found MC 4.0 and 5.0, even as old as they are, still great resources. Easy to use, quite a few recipe layout options, 5.0 has more complete nutrition information, places to write notes/family anecdotes at the start or finish of your recipe, flexibility with the ingredient list, in case you are using something not included there or are using another recipe as an ingredient. I imagine 9.0 is even better, more updated, though like I say, I can't speak to it directly. Hopefully someone else can help you with that. Good luck with your project. CV

I'm sorry I don't know. There are many recipes on the internet you can check out. It took me several changes to make a recipe I liked but have lost it and will have to start experimenting again.

I agree. I DID get a netbook for the kitchen and travel. The KeyIngredient website has alot of issues, so I use allrecipies.com and its great. Both of my daughters also listed their recipies on the site so we can go into each others cookbooks (no more calls of :Mom I need the recipie for...."although I'd better still get calls!! hehe).I just cannot figure out how Demy can justify the price for a gadget that merely holds info. even though I too justified the price of the Kindle. I find myself more and more going online for new recipies, and taking the netbook into the kitchen anyway so....maybe once the demy becomes worth it's price I may consider it, but until then....netbook is the way too go.

We have been using Mastercook 3 running on our old XP system. Just bought a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit. Tried to port the Mastercook over but got an error message that I need a 32 bit or 64 bit version. Is anyone updating this program for Windows 7? Would buy a new copy if it was supported on Windows 7 and I could port my old recipes to it.

Exactly what I was was thinking! I love the idea of having no more cookbooks (or books for that matter--also bought the kindle) I recently purchased a netbook for travel for the same price as this so it would be hard to justify spending the same amount of a unit that will only allow you too read recipies.I went to the website to check it out (keyingredients.com) and it looks like a great site to type in my recipies however there is suppose to be a partnet site (scanmyrecipies.com) and they are nowhere to be found (or I could not find them).I emailed the company and recieved no response so I would be very worried about any kind of support I may need.......
