Amazon.co.uk Review
We have all been in the situation of wanting to cook a nice new recipe but not knowing where to start. The Complete Interactive Cookbook brings together over 2,500 recipes on one CD, ready to tempt the taste buds. So what? you ask. Aren't there hundreds of books that list recipes? There are, but can you search a book to find just those recipes that contain the combination of ingredients you have to hand? Or to find those that take a particular length of time to cook (handy if you're short on time), or those that are high or low in particular nutritional elements? The Complete Interactive Cookbook can combine all these search criteria to find recipes that meet your precise needs.A good CD-ROM-based cookbook has room for your own recipes, and here you can add your favourites to those on board. There are other extras like the automatic creation of shopping lists, the ability to edit the on-board recipes if you have a preferred method, and a library of "chefs tips" covering everything from a video on filleting fish to explanations of what all those vitamins actually do. Strong on design and very flexible, this is a cookbook worth adding to your CD-ROM library. --Sandra Vogel

Too bad it's not available for new OS June 3, 2007
I feel great nostalgia for this programme. I just loved it! I wonder why they are not making it for the new PC operating systems...

This is a wonderful program.
I consider myself to be not too bad a cook with a fair idea of what works and what REALLY works. The search facility is great! Just select what ingredients you have and it comes up with matches. SOme ideas were for things I had never thought of!
Curry whirls! what next?Buy this if you like to cook...

this cookbook is by far the best one I have tried, it has thousands of excellent recipe`s and if you are stuck for a menu you can search by ingredients for a dish to suite the occasion.
Some of the American names for ingredients take a while to find the english substitute, but the weights and measures can be set to suite your location.
Easy to use and due to its age cheap as chips.
