Cook'n Recipe Organizer 11 Download Review + Giveaway ($80 value) #ad

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I received a copy of Cook'n for free for this Review.

Heres what I think.
I have downloaded the new Cook'n Version 11 and I must say it is the best software I have ever used for recipes and everything that has to do with cooking. It is possible to type a title in the search page and search the internet, pick your recipe of choice and capture the complete online recipe including picture, and add it to your recipe book with the pressing of one button. Fantastic! I only wish this was available in my younger years so I could have used this in raising my children. Now I use it to print my recipe books for my children and also my grandchildren. They all want copies of treasured family recipes. Even my grandson wants my recipes. I am advising them to start young and invest in this program! This program takes a little getting to know but once you get the hang of it its awesome. More on my review a little later.  I want to let you know what the company has to say.

This is what the company had to say about it........

My Review:

If you don't watch the tutorial, you might be a little lost at first. The HELP button was TOTALLY helpful- a feature that isn't always what we want it to be.
 After you download it, you get a really nice email from the company ! I love companies that make you feel important and not just a number!
Once I read over the help section for getting a recipe off the net it was easy!
It also lets you edit the recipe if you decide to alter it and want to save it like that... or you can look at the recipe directly within the app on the original website! Another great feature!

I know I've just touched the tip of the iceberg here, I am sure there is SO MUCH more to discover, but having a program that stores the recipes I'm searching for, makes life a lot easier.
I highly recommend this product! Please visit Cook'n Facebook page .  Also Check them out on  Pintrest.

Dan Oaks and his team are always available if there is a problem and of course there is the forum that is constantly open for comments and questions and believe me you are never left without a quick answer or assistance. So good when you think that sometimes it is all but impossible to get a response or you get connected to someone in a foreign country. It is so good to know you can talk to someone and most of the time in such a short time and if it take one minute or sixty they don't give up until you are fixed-up and happy about their software.  Are you ready for a Giveaway
