ValuSoft Cosmi is pleased to announce the newest, and most impressive, version of MasterCook is coming your way in June 2013! MasterCook 14 has exciting new updates based on feedback we received from you, our loyal users. This release will be the first step in our ongoing mission to make the product you’ve always loved even better.
We are busy putting the final touches on the release and running it through testing processes to make sure it meets the quality levels we all expect. We are not ready to announce the specific features yet but we can safely say that MasterCook 14 will have you seeing MasterCook a whole new way!
You might wonder what happened to version 12 and 13? We have been getting feedback from both retailers and consumers that they believe the MasterCook version number correlates with the year. Even though this is not the case, using version 12 would have the appearance to some that the software is over a year old before we even release. To avoid any year/version confusion, we decided to skip right ahead to 14.
So mark your calendars and check back here for more updates, and some great deals, on the new and exciting MasterCook 14, the program you helped prepare!
Happy cooking & cookbooking!
To our friends at Cooking Schools and Culinary Institutions,
For years, MasterCook has been the top choice in cooking software for consumers—and we’re proud of that fact. But we’re honored by how many cooking schools and culinary institutions use our software for teaching purposes. To celebrate that fact, we’re offering a special academic discount on bulk purchases of MasterCook 11 to all cooking schools and culinary institutions.
MasterCook is a powerful program that allows you to manage your recipes and your kitchen efficiently. It comes with built-in cookbooks, including many useful texts for teaching purposes, such as Food for Fifty, On Cooking and Culinary Fundamentals. A library of instructional videos included in the program allows students to review techniques on subjects ranging from oyster shucking to choosing a knife grip.
If you’re not using MasterCook—or if you’re using an older version—now’s your chance to get the latest version at a fantastic discount. We think MasterCook provides incredible value at its retail price of $19.99. But if you’re a cooking school or culinary institution, you can get a 50% discount off the retail price when you order 20 copies or more of the program.
To take advantage of this special offer, email us at support@mastercook.com and let us know how many copies of MasterCook 11 you’d like to purchase. We’ll email you a promotional code that can be used online to purchase 20 or more program copies at the discounted price of $9.99 each. We hope you’ll enjoy this tremendous deal on the leading cooking software in the marketplace.
May your table always be full!
The MasterCook team
First, a hearty thank you for choosing MasterCook as your recipe/cookbook management system – some of you have been using MasterCook for over a decade!
We wanted to take this opportunity to let you know of some exciting new developments.
MasterCook was originally developed by Arion software in 1992 and quickly became America's favorite cooking software. In 1995, Sierra acquired the program, adding major features you still hold dear today. In 2001, ValuSoft, a division of THQ, Inc., took the reins stewarding version 7 through 11.
In March 2012, Cosmi Finance LLC purchased ValuSoft. One of the crown jewels of the purchase was MasterCook! As a family-owned business, we the partners at ValuSoft + Cosmi, intend to play an active role in the development of the next generation of MasterCook software. In fact, our families have been using the program ourselves for the past several years.
We are excited to begin our journey together with a major new update to MasterCook v11. We have hired an experienced development team to improve stability while adding important new capabilities, like the ability to import and export images with MX2 files. There's a new and improved web import toolbar in the works and much more! Along with the fabulous recipes for your cookbooks!
Many of you already know Pam Erickson and John Shotsky. They have been providing support on the original Sierra Forums since 1999 and know the program inside and out. As MasterCook's new owner, ValuSoft + Cosmi, we have made Pam and John official members of our development team. Their enthusiasm, knowledge and overall great attitudes will be reflected in the new program and ongoing as our customer support team leaders.
What would you like to see in the next edition? Register now and let us know! You can feel confident that as we expand the feature set, we're also making the program easier to use.
The new version will be available this spring and our new website mastercook.com will keep you apprised of our progress. Register now for special offers, customer service, and be the first to know when the new MasterCook is available. Thanks again for your continued support and best to you and your families for a delicious and bountiful autumn!
Sincerely,
Amos Smith & Family
