Users have three options when it comes to inserting recipes into their MasterCook cookbooks. The first option is to add their own tried and true recipes. The second option is to search through MasterCook’s recipe archive. Searching for recipes within the archive can be as simple as looking for one within a particular cuisine, or as refined as searching for a recipe that contains less than 1 gram of fat per serving.

Lastly, users may choose to import recipes from the web, whether from their favorite food blog, magazine, etc. Recipes from all three platforms can be compiled into every cookbook, providing a wide variety of recipes to choose from for any occasion. All three options can be found in the menu bar, located in the far right corner of the screen.

MasterCook 22 is the latest Windows version of the MasterCook software program. MasterCook 22 allows users to sync the program on multiple devices. Users have the ability to access and explore MasterCook on various computers, smartphones, and tablets. One example of the convenience this provides is through shopping lists. Users can create shopping lists while searching for recipes at home.

The user can then access the recipes through the MasterCook application on their phone while at the store. Group cookbooks, which provide users with the option of sharing and collaborating with other MasterCook users on cookbooks, are another new feature within MasterCook 22. The MasterCook mobile application is available through Google Play for Android devices, and the Apple App Store for Apple products. It is not yet available for Kindles and other e-readers at this time.
