PDACookbook is recipe and cookbook software that can be used on a Blackberry, Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile device, or Windows PC. It allows users to carry their recipes, menu planner, and shopping list with them for quick access.

One of the standout features of PDACookbook is its ability to import and export recipes from Meal-Master and MasterCook files, making it easy to access your go-to recipes all in one place. Additionally, the software’s Smart Ingredient Paste tool allows you to copy ingredient text from a text recipe or the internet and automatically identifies ingredients, quantities, and units.
But that’s not all! PDACookbook also allows you to print any recipe from your database, as well as the Menu Planner and Shopping List. Speaking of the Shopping List, this is one of the most popular features of the software, allowing you to add items from any recipe to the list, as well as miscellaneous items, and export to HandyShopper2 or SplashShopper. Plus, you can quickly remove items as you purchase them.
If visuals are important to you, PDACookbook even includes photo support so you can attach graphics to any recipe. And for those who like to plan ahead, the software’s Menu Planner feature allows you to add recipes to the planner for specific dates and view them with just one tap.
Other helpful features of PDACookbook include automatic scaling of ingredient quantities based on serving size, up to 6 user-definable categories for each recipe, and the ability to enter nutritional information for each recipe.
If you’re looking for a reliable and easy-to-use recipe and cookbook software, PDACookbook is an excellent choice. Plus, the optional handheld software for Palm OS and Pocket PC/Windows Mobile makes it even more convenient to use on the go.
