CookWare: organize your favorite recipes
Do you have too many random bookmarks to your favorite recipes, or print them out and shove the papers in a random cookbook somewhere? Ok, so maybe that's just me, but CookWare Deluxe is an inspiring bit of niche software that promises to organize all your favorite recipes (up to 64 quadrillion, in fact), in addition to a wealth of other handy food-related features. All you have to do is drag your favorite recipes into the application, and CookWare will reformat text and change quantity abbreviations according to your preferences, making everything nice and consistent when hunting through recipes later. You can even plan meals with the built-in calendar feature, and write and organize your shopping lists, and these lists and your recipes can be exported as HTML files so you can carry them around and to the store on your iPod. Ok, I think we're getting a little food-organization-crazy now.
But seriously, the list of CookWare's features are impressively robust, and the brand new version 3.0 introduces a wealth of new features and options, and other minor enhancements. Unfortunately, I have not been able to download the program to try out myself (something appears to be wrong with the download link as I write this), but I'm looking forward to a test run. A single user license for CookWare Deluxe 3.0 rings in at $35.95.

That's unfortunate... the download link was giving me problems all last night, and I never got to test it out and see it for myself... at least the description looked good. +_+

Overzealous buttons with poor photoshop style gloss on a bluish pinstriped backdrop? Bad shadowed edges on an odd placed rounded corner, various button styles throughout, is that a brown backdrop for the sub pages - it maybe a good app from a great developer, but that's not a designer with UI experience. It ends up looking like a filemaker application or an ASP homegrown system designed by a production artist on windows. I know as designers I'm picky, but I choose the mac for a reason - if you can't do a quality design, stay within the UI guidelines they provide so it atleast comes out decent. I'm sorry, it could be great, but the design is low quality.
