What do you consider the best recipe software for Windows?

I inherited Mom's 2 volume Gourmet hardbound cookbooks, published in the
late 1950s.

There was no formatting whatsoever. They didn't list ingredients
followed by instruction steps. It basically read more like a story!

Also, instructional steps weren't ordered by precedence. You had to come
to terms with what to first and what to do last to make it most time
efficient.

I got "The Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child and friends for 25
cents at a yard sale. The biggest problem is the index of recipes which
was mostly in French and moi, not speaking French found it impossible to
find lots of recipes. WTF's a mother to do?!?

My computer recipes are merely text files. Well organized chaos, like
I'm used to! I've pdf'd them to the iPhone. I've also got a dozen
cookbooks of recipes on the iPhone that I've never used except for
hunger boredom. The best is the allrecipes cookbook. They allow
hamburgers for dessert! ))

couple of my old machines. I just keep them now because I had so much
fun on them then, I can't stand the thought of throwing them away.

In fact, I've planned to put one of the older Windows machines in the
Kitchen and having a monitor hanging in the corner. I have lots of
kitchen space and counter, so it won't be in the way as much as it
would be helpful to have right there where I'm prepping something.

Fun toy and I love gadgets.

The "situation" was, I was using Linux and the "provider" didn't want

discuss a solution. I'll be damned if I'm gonna fight over being

I'd be putting new ones on there, but it still seems like a better
idea than paper. I have a ream or two's worth of printed recipes
sitting in the kitchen. It's getting to be so much that I either have
to organize them or throw them out.

Stormee, not to be negative, but so far in my experience, nothing
works with Win 7. It either doesn't work outright or important
features are disabled. And if you go with Win 7, don't count on being
able to read all your old files. You will probably have to look for
some software fixes and still not be able to open everything. This is
my experience. I'm no techie and I will readily admit that I am
recovering from illness that left me with brain fog. I'm finally
beginning to work through some of the fog but Win 7 continues to taunt
me.
