*NIXANZ Yum

"Yum" is a recipe collection application featuring:

Dynamic searching of all text - found set of recipes updated as you type the search terms.
Indexing by category - each recipe can belong to any number of user-defined categories.
Several printing options - 1 recipe, all recipes, selected recipes, all recipes in selected category, found recipes. Let's face it, who can afford to have the computer itself in the kitchen and operate it with flour and eggs all over their hands?
Recipe text can be fully formatted including fonts, styles, paragraph settings, and even graphics (copy and paste, or drag and drop) so that pictures of your recipes can be included anywhere within the recipe text.
Recipes can be imported from MasterCook export files, or from other Yum files, and can be exported to Yum! files or to text files.

Included in the distribution is my own recipe collection, "Sample Collection.yum". This can be used to evaluate the software's cababilities without having to enter your own collection from scratch.

Even if the application does not entirely suit your needs, you might like some of these recipes!

Installation

To install, drag the application icon, "Yum" to your "Application" folder (or wherever you wish to store it).

If desired, drag the included recipe library document, "Sample Collection.yum" to your home directory or "Documents" folder, or where ever you wish to store it, and rename it, if desired (however, you can easily create your own recipe collection document(s) from scratch from within the application instead, if prefered).

WARNING: Recipe collections saved with this version will NOT be accessible with older versions. Recipe collections should be backed up before being used with this version.

I've developed a software license that I think is about as agreeable as you can get. It is called "UNDER-Ware" (User Now Defines Entity Restrictions). Please read the full license agreement which came with the original distribution (link below) before using or distributing this software.

History

This application began as a HyperCard stack in the early 1990's, to help my mother to get comfortable with using the computer (as well as to organise her recipe collection). I soon found that I liked using the program myself for my own collection.

It has now been re-written from scratch as a stand-alone Mac OS X application.
