Do you have a grubby stack of index cards and clippings you dig through every time you want to figure out something to cook for dinner? Nothing is more annoying than wasting half an hour looking for an old favorite only to realize the ingredients aren't what you thought. With Sierra Home MasterCook Cooking Light, this would never happen. Cooking Light is cooking software designed to organize your recipes and menus in ways you never thought possible. With the program, recipes are always a mouse click away, and you can keep a running inventory of the items in your pantry so you know what you need to buy. You can even tell the program what you already have and ask it to display what you can make. Click the mouse again and adjust a recipe to feed two, not six.
The biggest downside to the program is that to use all of Cooking Light's timesaving features, you must be organized already. Though Cooking Light promises "instant shopping lists," I was dismayed to realize that "instant" would require a lot of time and planning. Still, MasterCook Cooking Light is an impressive information source. The program contains a cross-referenced index of three years' worth of recipes from Cooking Light magazine (over 1,400 recipes in all) as well as an excellent visual culinary glossary.
