I have only had limited time to work with the Living Cookbook so am still feeling my way around it.

After a year of fooling around with Living Cookbook, I still cannot use it. Unless you ARE VERY computer literate, which I am not, it’s a waste of money. Even my husband who is very computer wise, couldn’t work it out after I even printed out the tutorial.They say that it’s “easy to use.” That is a joke.
It is needlessly complicated, and one of those programs that some dope who doesn’t actually know how to cook thought up to make make money. They put their own crappy recipes on it, (Campbell’s Soup? Give me a break) and the inventory has their own inventory in no particular order – not by item or even alphabetical. Senseless.
Save your money.

I was unable to get this software to so much as install without generating a ‘fatal error’. I joined the ‘forum’, that this company calls its product support, and got no help, so I returned the software.

The main problem with this program is this insane registration requirements and total lack of support. The registration is the same hassle as installing windows and the only support is through a forum where you have to register for that too. Also the inface is clunky and looks about 20 years old. None of the pieces really work together On the up side you can export stuff to a lot of different formats so when you get something better, as I am, you won;t need to reenter you recipies

I have never used such a slip-shod software in my life. I don’t know what other reviews see in this software but I thought it was VERY user “unfriendly”. As if that isn’t bad enough, there were no decent instructions. I hate the program, but am obliged to use it since I bought it and can’t send it back. If there were decent directions then I could follow them but there isn’t any. It seems that the people that write programs and the instructions on how to use them, expect people to know just what to do without telling them. I have used computers and gone to programing school and have done a lot of programing myself and I can say this software should not even be on the market. Do I sound MAD?? You bet I am!!!!!Living Cookbook 2008
