Cook’n is great
by jim2156a - Apr 5, 2024
Been a Cook’n use close to 15 years. Great tech support. Great features, easy to use,always being updated with new features. I have it on my IPhone, iPad, windows pc and echo show.. Love the recipe capture features the best. Makes it really easy to add recipes of the internet. You will not be disappointed with this app.
Great Software
by Rvweidie - Apr 6, 2024
I have used Cook’n for years. It has given me lots of great recipes. It has taught me a lot about cooking. My family looks forward to my experimental dishes. The software is worth every penny. The support of the DVO team for the software is unmatched by any support team for any software. Each question is addressed, quickly and completely. When you contact the team, you feel you are talking with family. I highly recommend this program Reid Vass
Fantastic Software
by Christine Wilson - Apr 6, 2024
This is a great recipe organizer. It also has cookbooks you can get as well as endless space to put in your own or "capturing recipes" from the web. If u need support they get back to you very quickly! I've been using this for many years and am very happy with this.
Wonderful app
by Dxichic - Apr 16, 2024
I have used the Cook’n app for years. Strongly recommend it and the company. If you have problem, the support team is great and has never failed any request made. It is a wonderful way to store your recipes. If you are at the store and forget what you need, simply pull the recipe up on your phone and all your questions are answered. It is a life saver for those of us who require a recipe for cooking.

I love this APP
by BiancaBuff – Apr 26, 2024
After trying out at least 3 different recipe organizers I finally found Cook’n which handles everything I need for my vast collection plus I get a Cloud backup and support. I especially appreciate Brooklyn who is attentive to any issues of mine and follows up on her own to be sure I am back up and running.
Love Cook'n!!
by SusanneAlice – Apr 26, 2024
I love this app. I have 50 years worth of recipes both from my mother and mine. I can’t wait to add them all together and make a cookbook for my grown children to enjoy.

Awesome program!
by Pat's Cookin - Mar 1, 2024
I have been using Cook'n for over 20 years and I use it on my PC and on my iPad. I love the fact that I have my recipes with me wherever I go. When I was visiting my sister-in-law she asked me to make banana bread and I had my favorite recipe with me. No Wifi is needed to access my own recipe files. When I was cooking for a camp I could adjust recipes easily. There are so many wonderful features and it keeps getting better!
Great app with a lot of recipes!

Great app for saving!
by MountainBroker – Mar 15, 2024
I've been using the Cook'n app for over 15 years and I have hundreds of my own recipes typed into it. I love the phone app! I can create my shopping lists and have them right with me on my phone. No more forgetting my list at home and overbuying at the grocery store, or getting home and realizing I forgot to buy a key ingredient. Great for getting your meals and shopping organized! One addition I'd love to see is the ability to create menus on the app. Or at least be able to see the recipes I've created on my laptop.
Great for Organizing Recipes!
by Annuebeeall – Mar 16, 2024

Excellend App
by Terymo – Mar 20, 2024
I've been using Cook'n since the company started. Early on, when I had a qusetion, I'd call and Dan would answer the phone. He has a real passion for this product and it shows. I've had this app for maybe a year now. There were some bugs at first. The good news is that they addressed them, and now it's close to perfect. I love being able to access my recipes from my phone, auto sync to my computer, capture recipes from the internet, and app recipes when I'm out and about. It's easy and convenient to use and I just love it.
The BEST app on my phone!!

Amazing Program and Easy To Use
by Xiloz - Feb 7, 2024
Cook'n is the best cook book program ever. I have created my own cookbook with over 1495 recipes and love it. It is so easy to use whether you are uploading your family recipes, creating new ones or downloading your favorite cooking site recipes and that is from someone who is not good with computer programs! Adding photos or descriptions is a simple click and should you have a question, the Cook'n technical staff are the friendliest, nicest and most knowledgeable people to deal with. I love Cook'n and highly recommend it, give it a chance and you will love it too I’m sure.

Best of the Best!
by Ach4el - Feb 9, 2024
I’ve been using this app, first on my Mac laptop, and then finally on my phone when the mobile app became available. I waited months for the Mac version of this program to be re-developed and published. It is definitely the best of the ones that I reviewed before I ventured into an electronic version of a cookbook. I have quite a few cookbooks that I added to my collection over the years and I have hundreds of recipes that I have captured to add to my personal collections and share with family and friends. It is rare for me to have any problems with the program\app, but when they do occur, the support staff is always very helpful and have resolved all of my issues. Support was very helpful in explaining how to do that & every instruction they gave me worked like a charm. Well done! 2024 Feb Update: just updated to version 15! All the new features (desktop or mobile) are great. Thanks for your team’s hard work & support.
Awesome!

Great Customer Service
by Nana2Wyatt - Feb 13, 2024
I have used customer service on three occasions when I couldn’t find the necessary answer in the FAQ’s. Each time I received a timely response with the explanation I needed to complete my task. I used the free Cook’n app for several months when I decided it was time to subscribe...and so happy I did! The interface is smooth and uncomplicated and a joy to use. You won’t be disappointed! DATE: 2/13/24 : I had the need to contact customer support regarding the upgrade to version 15. After upgrading, the photos for each recipe was missing. I received a response within 24 hrs with instructions. All worked well and I am, once again, a happy Cook’n customer!
Cook’n app rocks!!
by bmandck - Feb 14, 2024
I love this app! So does my sous-chef (girlfriend) and my friends I share recipes with. It is very easy to use and great for searching your recipes for ingredients (what can I do with this squash). I only wish I could copy a recipe to start a new variation.
Incredible app for any cook!

Great recipe app
by eb4_99 – Feb 21, 2024
I was looking for a simple, easy to use, organized way to plan meals for the week.

Almost seems too good to be true, but I am thoroughly enjoying this app!

Love Love Love!
by Daryl Everett – Jan 14, 2024
I really love this app. It does most of what I want. I would like to see more added to it, like copying videos and a cool down time added to ingredients directions. Dan is very helpful in taking ideas to even better the app. Keep up the good work.
Amazing Customer Service!

Out of the Park!
by Peggy Sindt – Jan 26, 2024
Exceptional program. Easy to use, simple to search by ingredient, organize any way you like. Menu planning, shopping list, print. Stays open while you are cooking so you don't have to print. Scan recipes, even hand written ones, capture from the Internet in a very simple way. I have it on all my devices and they synch flawlessly. If I'm at the store and see something that looks good, I can look for a recipe in the app on my phone & make sure I have other ingredients. Super support.Still A+ 1/24!

Life Changing App
by Poolplayerwoman - Dec 12, 2023
From cooking for my family and friends to cooking for my church, I simply just love it! I recently cooked for a group of 60 at my church and quickly discovered and over calculated for the luneon, ending up with way more food than I needed. Thankfully this app will help better estimate my calculations to properly account for measures based on the number of people I'm feeding. It also has given me a quick way of creating groery lists to simplify my life even more. Thanks to this app I also believe I'll be able to better manage my food budget and be able to reduce wasteful spending each month. Thank you for creating a brilliant tool!

I'd be lost without it!
by PigeonForge – Dec 21, 2023
I absolutely love my Cook'n software. I don't go to cookbooks anymore and it is so much easier just to look at Cook'n and find all these wonderful recipes. I even came across old ones I used to make when my kids were little that I had completely forgotten about. Like finding an old friend! I don't need to enter a new recipe from scratch very much anymore because the Snip-it tool is so useful. But when I do that it goes quickly because it is so easy. I've had Cook'n a few years now and I will keep using it!
Great Recipe Organizer
by dsimmo00 – Dec 26, 2023
I love this software! I have it on my desktop, laptop, iPhone and iPad. No matter which device I use to add or edit recipes, the syncing with iCloud updates every device. I especially like that I'm never without my recipes and that's very convenient when I go to the grocery store and wonder what ingredients are needed for a recipe.
Technical Support Is Amazing!

I started using it on my computer before I had an iPhone and support has always answered questions and solve my minimal problems. They corrected a problem with the recipe being outside of my Apple Watch screen. All is fine now and I can carry my recipe around in the kitchen now. Thank you DVO. It was corrected in a timely fashion.

The BEST recipe app
by Joe Tantum - Oct 26, 2023
I love using this app to store recipes I find online or a friend shares with me. One of my favorite features is how it captures a recipe online with just the recipe and not all the talk about the recipe! It's easy to organize into my own cookbook and find my favorites when a friend ask for recipe! Recently I switched phones and my biggest concern that I would lose my recipes 😂 No worries I transferred perfectly! I had a question and customer service rep responded very quickly!
Tech Support

I have had Cook’n since it first came out. I have had several problems over the years with my PC. When I contact Support, I get almost immediate response.. Brooklyn is truly a godsend. She is so good and can immediately solve my problem. Brooklyn is what I enjoy most about Support. I also love the app and currently have about 1,500 recipes stored. Upgrades are always positive.

However, I have been cautious because I was not sure how reliable or consistent or beneficial this app would be to me.

Not only that but the support service I have been given by this company has been awesome!

AMAZING RECIPE APP

I am so glad that I let my friend pursuade me to switch to this app to store my one thousand plus recipes.

Since then, I have expanded my recipes and organized them more seamlessly as the app is so user friendly and efficient!

I've been using Cook'n for about 11 years now and find it is an excellent program for all of your recipes...What's even more impressive is the support I get from the technical staff. By subscribing to either premium or standard membership, whenever I have a problem, and like all electronics, problems do arise from time to time, the assistance I get from the support group is excellent!

Just What I was Looking For!
by Kat3v0 - Jun 4, 2023
If you literally just want a digital cookbook for every recipe you've ever liked or wamt to try WITHOUT having the 'premium version' dangling over your head just to even use the app this is THE ONE! It's so easy and convenient to use no bull crap AND you can capture recipes from the web AND those recipes you've written down and stowed away at the touch of a button!

Absolutely The Best Recipe App EVER
by ruyleka - Dec 18, 2022
Love this app. I use it almost everyday. Even purchased a stand to hold my iPhone or Kindle when using it in the kitchen. Love, love, love to be able to pull up a recipe when I'm in the store and I see that something is on sale. I can check to see what else I need while I'm there. Sharing recipes with friends when asked is a few keystrokes away. I repeat...BEST APP EVER!!

by Janette Barker – Dec 21, 2022
I rarely leave reviews, However this program is worth it. I have used this program for Many years I have loved the way it handles my recipes. When they added the capture feature It was Amazing. you can also scan in your recipes and add them. But the most exciting new feature Is the communication with "Alexa" I was cooking something and my hands had ingredients on it. My phone went off. I asked the Alexa to find the recipe I was cooking and I asked Alexa to read the Directions to me. Wow! TY

Outststanding
by Harry Romanin - Mar 13, 2023
The staff at Cook'n are pleasant to work with, responsive (always within a day or two at the most), and very, very helpful. They're ALWAYS asking if my issues had been resolved. They were always "Johnny on the Spot." I have been with them a while now, and I wouldn't change for anything. I find Cook'n to be a very user-friendly app. It does an outstanding job of pulling recipes from the web! I don't know where they could improve their app, but they probably will. Thanks for the app. Good job.

Thank you Brooklyn!!!

This app has really changed the way I prepare for meals and manage recipes I find. It’s amazing the way it can convert a recipe from an online source, a cookbook, or a handwritten recipe to one that is easy to read and file in the app. I used to find recipes online, and then close the window, and forget about it. No more!!
Great organizing!

I’ve also saved favorites from friends and strangers that I can now pass along to my kids and their families. Cook’n makes it SO easy and convenient!!

The Best Cook'n App Ever! It keeps outdoing it's self with every update.
So glad I found this!
by Njguy1964 – Jul 4, 2022
I love to cook and at my age grew up getting my recipes from magazines like bon appétit, gourmet, or from cookbooks you need to purchase. Fast forward 20 years and the Internet is maybe the best thing that ever happened toAmateur cooks allowing people to share recipes from their family collection as well as those acquired throughout their life. This app is the perfect tool to leverage the advantages in recipes sharing the Internet has provided . It doesn’t get any simpler to find and capture recipes. But beyond finding random recipes on the Internet but I’m really enjoy is reading, tips and commentary from other amateur cooks.

I love this app! I am able to capture recipes when I see them anywhere.
Best Recipe Program I’ve found
by smth_operator – Jun 3, 2022
I happened upon this application and I must say it has all the bells and whistles and they keep improving it.
So good for me.
by Peggy Lambert-Coleman – Jun 27, 2022
I LOVE this. I had Cookin`PC on my old computer, used it often, loved the ability to print beautiful recipes on lovely templates.
Tech support is the best!
by Cook n Cher – Jun 3, 2022
I have depended on the support team several times and they are always able to fix my problem! I can’t live without this app!
Great

I love it, easy to organize recipes.
My Favorite Cookbook!️
by Gtiger 0579 – Jun 6, 2022
I absolutely adore Cook’n!!! All my old ratty cookbooks have been replaced by this genius app, and of course the latest recipes I find on the internet. I have my “Old Favorites” cookbook, and my “To Try” cookbook for anything new I want to check out. I love that the app itself keeps my iPad from shading out after my set time! When I consider how much time it saves me from hunting down lost recipes, the annual price is very reasonable.
Cook’n Reaches my Real Life
by kebrumm – Jun 8, 2022
Cook’n has kept chaos out of my dinner hour. The more faithful I am to using it, the more I bless my family. I have been around since the early days of the computer program & app. The Cook’n team works tirelessly to make dinner hour easier for the chef in the family. Thank you for all you do!
Great app!
by Happy brithday – Jun 12, 2022
Love the convenience of this app! Finally, I am being organized about storing my favorite recipes so I don’t waste time searching for them on the internet. Also, one of the best things is that on Cook’n my recipes stay lit up on my iPhone the entire time I am using them!
The Best Cooking App!
by MicRM224 – Jun 13, 2022
This app beats the “other one” I used by a mile — and then some! There’s room for me to add my own ingredients variations to recipes, or family notes, too! The Basic subscription I use is just perfect!
So great! I love it!
by cbus hack – May 1, 2022
Great for capturing and saving recipes. Works well and very simple.
My favorite app ever.
by Tom Brickhouse – May 15, 2022

Easy capture of net recipes
by Sucker for cheating – May 7, 2022
I love the convenience of recipe capture with this program. It is fantastic!
What a Find!
by Gtiger 0579 – May 9, 2022
This app does it all! Search for new recipes- check, save old tattered paper recipes- check, add from my old favorite cookbooks, check! It’s a bit pricey, but so far I’m loving it so much. Particularly handy is the app itself keeps my iPad from shading out after my set time, so I don’t have to change this in settings every time I want to use a recipe from my iPad. It’s literally replaced my cookbooks 💕
Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️
by Gardenia13 – May 11, 2022
This app is such a great way to collect, organize, and share recipes. And to top it off, it’s FUN!!!
Best Cooking App
by Denver Delights – May 13, 2022
Cook’n is so easy to use. I can capture a recipe I find online in seconds or add old family favorites. I’m creating a family cookbook that I can share with my children so they can enjoy meals we ate together in their own homes.
Cooking was never so easy!
by adecrist – May 18, 2022
Not only the cookbooks are wonderful but super easy to build your own cookbook!
Great way to store your favorite recipes
by procruisetraveler – May 19, 2022
Love the app. I can store the recipes I make all the time and have them even when I am traveling. The capture feature is fantastic for copying the recipes I love online.
Fantastic!

Works very well
by Richard West – Apr 6, 2022
Best recipe app I have found. My wife and daughters love this app. They use it frequently and add recipes to there collections which is getting rather large. Hope to use this for years to come. We recommend it to our friends as well.
Keeps getting better!
by Genia Kyres – Apr 15, 2022
I have been using Cook'n for many years. It is a great product with good support. It is so nice to have my recipes available from everywhere I have internet. The product has only gotten better over the years adding new features to make it better. I'd best lost without it!
Very helpful
by Jay M. Lalik Sr. – Apr 15, 2022
COOK'N Is the best! I recently needed DVO Support to assist me with COOK'N.. DVO Support responded swiftly and quickly resolved my problem. Thank you.
A Cooks Delight
by czfvitrb – Apr 1, 2022
This app is amazing. I have used it for years. Customer service is very good at answering your questions when you are at that level. Well worth the money.
Awesome App
by 509cascais – Apr 6, 2022
I have had a version of Cook'n since it first came out. I love that I can go to the store and pull up a recipe or send one to a friend or my kids. I highly recommend it. It works well, support has been great. So worth the few dollars I pay each month.
Absolutely Awesome
by semp79 – Apr 11, 2022
Cook'n is absolutely the best cooking software ever. Dan keep adding tools to make capturing recipes easier. The recipes look great on my iPad, which I can taek in the kitchen to follow the recipe. No printing them out anymore. Additionally, his weekly newsletter often has recipes I want to try.
Very cool!
by cbus hack – Apr 17, 2022
Great for capturing and saving recipes. Works well and very simple.

Wonderful app with a lot of useful features and great customer service!
Love Cook'n
by rdsxfn14 – Apr 19, 2022
I love Cook'n. I would be lost without it. It's so easy to put recipes in and keep track of them. No more binders and trying to find recipes. Everything is right there for me. Everything is at my fingertips and organized. If people don't have it and you love to cook you need this. Also everyone behind the scenes have always been so nice and helpful.
Cookin
by THAOLDDOG – Mar 2, 2022

Best App Ever
by Footsie12 – Mar 4, 2022
Love this app so very helpful Thank you
So Awesome!!!!
by Dan Mack – Mar 14, 2022
Love this app! I have added this app to my tablet(that I use in the kitchen), and added it to my computer. I love all the features it has on the computer. This is the greatest recipe app I have ever used!!
Love it!
by quack5540 – Mar 8, 2022
I really like my Cook’n. I was totally obsessed with recipes, still am, but I had a ton of recipe cards and magazine pages. I really like how I can have those recipes but on the computer/iPad/iPhone. Now when I want a certain recipe, I can just do a quick search and it doesn’t involve a cupboard full of cookbooks or a binder full of recipe cards. And it can go anywhere I am!
Amazing!!!
by 14Cougar – Mar 12, 2022
Outstanding program to handle our family’s cooking adventures
Saves a ton of time!
by Crusader65 – Mar 15, 2022
Easy to build a database of recipes for your favorite meals. So easy to use. Also easy to customize ingredients and save so you don’t forget what you did.
Double stars if I could
by chattyknits – Mar 15, 2022
This app does everything I ask and more. Great! I would give it six stars if I could.
Cook’n
by Arnie1214 – Mar 16, 2022
Great recipe app and using it for a while and I love it is in constant updates and ability to import cookbooks. I think this is a must for all cooks
Great Organizer
by hckyplr – Mar 16, 2022
I have been using the app, cloud and desktop versions for a number of years. Love the organization so all my recipes are in one place. I can search and get the ingredients list for a recipe while I’m at the store. I can capture a recipe and it syncs to all my devices. I also really enjoy the cook books I can add to my collection. The few times I have had any issues the customer service has taken care of it promptly. I have nothing but positive things to say, but with confidence.
Awesome.
by Ghjkuy465 – Feb 2, 2022
All my favorite recipes in one convenient place.
Fantastic!
by Bethanie McLaughlin – Feb 1, 2022
Wonderful recipe organizer. Make sure you copy web link from the print recipe part of site it carries over to the app perfectly
Best recipe app
by Better Baker – Feb 2, 2022
Love, love, Cook’n. The best way to have save recipes.
Love my Cook’n
by Kasey1918 – Feb 7, 2022
I’ve been using the PC version for a long time, and began using the app on my iPad/iPhone as soon as it came out. Everything syncs on all my devices, which is important to me. I have printed my cookbooks and if I want I can use the books or my iPad. If you need it, support is excellent, and has been since I began using Cook’n. My latest project is to put my mother’s recipes in a cookbook. It is time consuming but will be worth it for our family, as she was a wonderful cook who had the best recipes. As you can read, I really do love my Cook’n!
I love cook’n
by SAS-SB – Feb 11, 2022
I’ve used this app from its very beginning. It has been wonderful! It has kept up with technology and continues to add features. I love how I can capture almost any recipe from the internet or type in my own and categorize it. I can share recipes instantly from anywhere as well. When grocery shopping, I can look up a recipe at the store to make sure I have all the ingredients! Dan, you and your staff ROCK!
Cook’n rocks
by hipgran – Feb 11, 2022
Cooking is a wonderful app and allows you to write down your favorite recipes and even publish them in a book. I did this for my son and daughter’s Christmas gift one year and they loved it. You can also have a version online that you can add to periodically. The support is great and the cost is reasonable.
Great app for storing your recipes and printing them
by samny j – Feb 11, 2022
I have used the Cook’n app since it was first launched years ago. They have improved so much over the years and continue to do so by always updating their program, adding new features, finding ways to make it easier to add new recipes, making the program user friendly, and constantly striving to better their program. Their support team is always prompt, helpful and follow up with you to make sure everything is working as it should be. They have great customer service. They are always there to assist you.
Love it
by hudson believer – Feb 17, 2022
Easy to use and wonderful to have my recipes in one place. Highly recommend!

by Ken W – Jan 3, 2022
Great app for storing and organizing recipes. The "capture" function is a great way to get internet recipes.
Love the Cook’n App
by Red hat queen – Jan 3, 2022
Not only does this app make organizing your recipes a snap, but their new Capture feature is a dream come true. See a recipe you like? Literally a few clicks later the recipe is in your cookbook exactly where you want it. No retyping, scanning, extra work.
Exemplary
by elyse bilodeau – Jan 4, 2022
I have been using Cook'n for years and it saved me a lot of time every week by using the menu and the shopping list! With the cloud I can access my recipes every where, at my chalet, when I travel, at the grocery store. The support team is always there for you, very professional. Great app!
Excellent
by elcj3 – Jan 8, 2022
Very versatile way to keep recipes instead of taking screenshots
Love it!, love it!, love it!
by Barbara Lee – Jan 10, 2022
Simply the best and easy recipe app ever. The software team are always updating with improvements that help it become very user friendly. The best feature is the capture function. All you have to do is find a recipe that you like on the internet and BAM; you tap on the capture icon and it puts the recipe into the cook'n app along with the picture that corresponds with it. The app is absolutely marvelous. Hats off to all the Cook'n team.
Awesome way to organize all your recipes!
by Awesome Bob!!! 13 – Jan 15, 2022
Where has Cook’n been my whole life? It’s truly changed the way I approach recipe searches, store family recipes, and save recipes from multiple sites. I’ve only been using it for 6 months and can’t imagine living without it.
Easy to use!
by Jeff McDonald – Jan 27, 2022
Easy to capture recipes from the internet and also from the screen shots on your phone!
My favorite app
by Nalene Ann – Jan 18, 2022
I love this app. I use it on my computer, phone and iPad and it syncs perfectly. I can capture online recipes and also scan hand written recipes I receive. I have been using Cook’n for about ten years and have gotten my friends and family using it also.
Great recipe app
by Koch Garland – Jan 27, 2022
I have been using for years. Love the various ways to upload or input new recipes. The cloud account backup is a life saver. Support is exceptional when you need it. I recommend highly.
Love it
by Sofi Estrada-Sinclair – Dec 1, 2021
All my favorite internet search recipes in one place. So convenient!
Absolutely Awesome!
by Sandra Highsmith – Dec 3, 2021
I have used Living Cookbook for years and they went out of business. I was annoyed, frustrated and confused about what to do. I had no idea that I would be delighted that happened. Cook'n has exceeded my expectations and it is an ongoing work in progress, with tips, surprises and great suggestions. It truly is designed with a cook in mind and it has Eliminated 2 full drawers of tearout recipes. I love it!
Very satisfied
by Better Baker – Dec 3, 2021
Love, love, Cook’n. The best way to have save recipes.
Very well made
by Richard Moller – Dec 6, 2021

Wow!
by Alicemarianna – Dec 9, 2021
Have used this application to plan my menus, my parties, my baking for years.I don’t know how I would manage without it. When I leave town and go to my daughter’s I can plan my food while I’m at her house on the app. I love it.
Super handy!
by Dan Pilczuk – Dec 17, 2021
I love my Cook'n app. It's so handy when you want to share a recipe with friends or to look up a recipe when you're at the grocery store. I've discovered so many new and interesting recipes here. Their support is amazing. They always respond right away to any questions and have an easy fix when I've done something to mess up my app.
My favorite of ALL my apps!
by TwinsmomAL – Dec 9, 2021
This is my favorite app by far. No more am I standing in the grocery store trying to remember recipe ingredients. I started using Cook’n years ago when it was only PC software, and I enjoyed it back then, but the creation of this app was a complete game changer. I love to cook, so this app is my favorite kitchen tool (and toy because it’s so fun to use!). But even if you don’t enjoy cooking, this app could change that for you, or at least make it easier.
Very convenient
by Timothy Zimmer – Dec 20, 2021
I installed the app on my phone and tablet. It is like being able to take the desktop version with you. I use the desktop version to decide what to make for dinner. Once I select it and send it to the list I can use the version on my phone to shop for the ingredients I need. Then in the kitchen I can use the tablet version to follow the recipe and turn out a great meal. 12/20/21 - this is the app for anyone that loves to cook. They are continually making improvements and it is the best.
What a Find!
by Gtiger 0579 – Nov 1, 2021
This app does it all! Search for new recipes- check, save old tattered paper recipes- check, add from my old favorite cookbooks, check! It’s a bit pricey, but so far I’m loving it so much. Particularly handy is the app itself keeps my iPad from shading out after my set time, so I don’t have to change this in settings every time I want to use a recipe from my iPad. I expect I’ll find more things to love as I keep using it - it’s upped my baking game a lot😘
I use this app everyday
by TnT in Texas – Nov 3, 2021
Love this app. Been using it almost everyday for many years. Very easy to use on computer or iPhone. Love the cook book internet access. Have my whole family using this app now. Used support for the first time and had an answer in a day.
GREAT PROGRAM
by ds612 – Nov 4, 2021
Have used for many years. Anytime I have an issue or question I have gotten a prompt responses and the issue fixed. Great recipes too!

Sometimes I forget how amazing this app is, how accessible to save and look for recipes
Totally awesome!

I love this app. Worth every penny.
Can't Leave

I have used many recipe apps, often deleting them because they weren't used. Cook'n is my only recipe app, it is absolutely outstanding!
Love my Cook’n app

This is such a great app. Makes organizing and collecting recipes a breeze. I travel and always have my recipes with me. I am a huge fan!

Super duper awesome
by Pam Hoffman – Nov 23, 2021
I've been using Cook'n for over 10 years and I LOVE it!! It is very easy to use and if I ever have an issue, the support people always help me out. I also love that I can save everything on their cloud so I never have to worry about losing all my recipes. I highly recommend this program!!!
Cook’n - the very best
by semp79 – Nov 25, 2021
I was using Living Cookbook and was trying to figure out how to get the program and my data to a new computer. Apparently the company is gone or they no longer support the program. So I researched recipe apps. I tried a couple including Cook’n. I was amazed about how much more this program can do compared to the one I was using and others I found on the internet. For anything I had trouble figuring out, the support team was great. They save what you put in to the cloud, so I have the program on all my devices and can take my iPad to the kitchen to follow a recipe. No more printing recipes out. I am so grateful I found this program.
Awesome
by lkwsun – Oct 3, 2021
I use this app all the time I love it.
Amazing
by Stacy Williams – Oct 1, 2021
I love this app. It is so amazing to finally be able to put all of my random recipes into one place. It is so easy to use and easy to access the recipes.
I really love this recipe organizer!
by TerriHW – Oct 6, 2021
I’ve been using various versions of Cook’n for many years, and currently use the iPad version most of the time. I have never found a better or easier way to organize and retrieve recipes than with Cook’n. And by using my iPad, I can simply set it up in the kitchen to see my recipes and don’t even need to print them out. I have a separate “cookbook” for My Favorites, which makes searching for them so simple. And the Internet Recipe Search and the Capture feature are fabulous! So easy and very little typing.
Top Notch!
by Mark Coe – Oct 16, 2021
The best! Have been using it for years.
Wonderfully intuitive app!
by slhoude – Oct 7, 2021
Love the easy way to “capture” recipes! Very good app!
Cook’n app rocks!!
by bmandck – Oct 11, 2021
I love this app! So does my sous-chef (girlfriend) and my friends I share recipes with. It is very easy to use and great for searching your recipes for ingredients (what can I do with this squash).
Simply the best!
by Judith Ann Stahlecker – Oct 22, 2021
I have used this app since it’s creation! Anytime I have a question, concern or need help with any issue, I contact customer support and within a day they contact me with detailed help and information! I have it on my smart phone and ipad and use the application at least daily. There are so many incredible feature and videos to help you every step of the way.
Love this app
by sandixyz – Oct 14, 2021
This app has actually made cooking fun again.I have all my tried and true recipes in it and also have many from the Internet or downloaded recipe books. I am not a computer geek, so I love the ease I can capture or input recipes. No scraps of paper with recipes on them to loose. They are now perfectly organized. I use the app on my iPhone in the kitchen so I always have all my recipes within reach. Great app and support folks are wonderful if you have a question.
Such a helpful program!
by Norskcamp – Oct 16, 2021
I’ve been using Cook’n since it was developed so many years ago. Over the years, I’ve collected and saved my moms delicious recipes (she’s gone now) and I’m so glad I did! I’ve also saved favorites from friends and strangers that I can now pass along to my kids and their families. Cook’n makes it SO easy and convenient!!
Best recipe manager ever.
by foobar toobar – Oct 17, 2021
We had been users of the Mac Gourmet line for years. Using this for just a few days convinced us that this is the way to go. I’d been scanning in and capturing all our favorites from hard copy, but using Cook’n has let us go find and download the originals, with the photos and all. Very tidy, and a huge amount less work!
Awesome app!
by Sue Rickert – June 8, 2021
I have used this app for many years. DVO is constantly making improvements. I keep it on my phone & iPad & when people ask for a recipe, i send it off to them. Also, if I have a question the DVO support team responds quickly and with follow up to make sure i was successful.
Great recipe app
by Lisa Cuccia – June 1, 2021
Great app, makes copying recipes much easier!
Awesome site!

I love the ability to pull any recipe that I find on other sites. I also love the ability to change servings! Great Site!

by @High1springs – June 9, 2021
I have been a member for a long time -years. I love this app. I also have it on my Mac, iPad and fire tablet. Easy to use. And their support team is asesome. Highly recommend if you like to keep recipes. Has a lot of extra features. You can even print your own cookbooks.
Cook'n is Great
by KCinAZ55 – June 6, 2021
I've used many cooking applications and find Cook'n has the easiest user interface. Love how easy it is to capture recipes over several platforms. Love it. I'm sure you'll love it too.
Awesome Recipes
by Rednative2 – June 27, 2021
Want to make it into a cookbook and give as gifts for Xmas. I have found a lot of 5 star recipes in this app. Love it!
This app does it all
by erinesqued – June 27, 2021
I've been looking for an app that allows me to organize existing reipces and allow me to easily add to my collection when I see something on my phone. I can import seamlessly. No more typing up recipes!
Awesome!
by suzbroad – June 26, 2021
Love it. Finally an app that will hold my recipes from all the different place in one spot. Like it's My own personal cook book, super easy to use.
So easy to use!

Organize your recipes, their recipes. Import recipes from any source. I have tried many recipe organizers - this is the BEST!... by far.
Great app
by snookum58 – Sep 3, 2021
I love it, easy to organize recipes.
Cook’n is great
by jim2156a – Sep 7, 2021
I started using Cook’n back in the old days when it was just a pc app. It has done nothing but gotten better and better with each version update. Now it’s on our iPhones and IPads. In all the years of using Cook’n I have had to email tech support 3 times and received fast and great support from them and problems were fixed. You can’t go wrong with this app. 7/9/20 I had a problem with Cook’n, emailed cooking support in within two days had an answer and problem is fixed. They keep adding new features and fixing bugs at the users find and if you email them they will help you tech-support is really good there. I can’t say enough how good the staff and support is. Cook’n is a great program and I would recommend it to anyone. If you sit and read the bad reviews you see cook in responding to them and tries to fix the problems if the people will work with them. Keep up the great job you are doing!!!
My new favorite
by crashtest dummy1 – Sep 9, 2021
Great way to organize and capture my favorites.
LOVE Cookn’!!!!!!!!!!
by Judi the cutie! – Sep 12, 2021
I have used this for years in the USA and now I’m using it in Denmark! It’s the BEST!!!
Much needed
by Sean280ZX – Sep 13, 2021
I was using Pinterest to figure out dinners for the upcoming week. And creating shopping lists in OneNote. This app is light years better. You import Pinterest pins. You search and find recipes that matches one or two ingredients you have at home. You add them to the app’s shopping list. And you can leave the app running while making dinner (without all those annoying ads within online recipes). Light years better workflow.
Best App out there
by richkray – Sep 14, 2021
I been with Cook’n for years and any problems I encountered were quickly responded to and corrected the problem. I have been working with Haydon as he has been quick responding and helpful. Keep up the great work.
Excellent App
by John Lazar – Sep 28, 2021
Have been using this app since it came out. Found it much easier to use than others like Paprika. Tech support is great, very responsive. Highly recommend.
Great recipe organizer and more!
by dsimmo00 – Sep 23, 2021
I’ve been using Cook’n for many years now. They continue to make improvements and are always available to assist with any problems you might have. I LOVE the fact that I have my recipes with me on mobile devices wherever I am. So handy to access at the store or when visiting family. Automatically syncs up across all devices when recipes are added or edited. So easy to download recipes from internet sites making adding your favorite new recipes to your files. Great value!!
Absolutely the Best
by Rick Schaffner – Sep 23, 2021
Cook’n is absolutely the best recipe program I have seen. Their support services are top of the line and respond quickly and follow-up after their help. Impressive.
Love this app..!
by Vroni07 – Sep 27, 2021
This app is amazing, I always find great recipes with items that I usually have on hand. It’s nice find new things to try without having to run to store to pick up things that you’ll never use again.
Best app for recipes
by Glorip6 – Aug 1, 2021
I am constantly saving recipes from online and this is the easiest way to download them and keep them all in one place. They download instantly and easily. I do use apps frequently between my IPad and IPhone. I was having trouble with getting them to sync. I got in touch with app support. They responded promptly and politely and fixed the issue within 48 hours. I highly recommend this app.
Easy to use!
by Lynn Apel – Aug 11, 2021
So user-friendly! all of the features that I have been looking for!!
The BEST Recipe program I’ve ever used

have tried many cooking/recipe programs over the years, and this one is the best. Easy, friendly, great to be able to make a grocery list from the meals I’m preparing for coming 2 weeks. I can scan moms old recipes, add pictures, add notes, etc. I have used this program since 1995, and I have downloaded, added and created over 1300 recipes. I can pull them up on my IPad, Android phone (to look at a recipe while shopping) and on my laptop.
Everyone should download this app
by Linda Yinger – Aug 15, 2021
Cook's is the most incredible recipe software I've ever used. You have to try it to understand all of its features. I tell everyone to download the software.
This app keeps getting better
by Twin Baby A – Aug 7, 2021
I have been a long timer with Cook’n and especially like the ease of the mobile app. Try it, you’ll love it.
Been using it forever
by Patsy Whittington – Aug 19, 2021
I have been using this program since it's inception. I use it daily to prepare my meals. I create cookbooks for gifts. If I need help, support is always there. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who cook's or wants to start cooking. Try it you can't lose. I have over 900 recipes on my program.
Ease of Use
by chzpuffdh – Aug 10, 2021
I love this app. It’s really great to lose the paper recipe and have this at my fingertips. It makes shopping for ingredients incredibly simple.
Such a helpful program!
by Norskcamp – Aug 20, 2021
I’ve been using Cook’n since it was developed so many years ago. Over the years, I’ve collected and saved my moms delicious recipes (she’s gone now) and I’m so glad I did! I’ve also saved favorites from friends and strangers that I can now pass along to my kids and their families. Cook’n makes it SO easy and convenient!!
Love this App!
by sojouner77 – Aug 21, 2021
This app has really changed the way I prepare for meals and manage recipes I find. It’s amazing the way it can convert a recipe from an online source, a cookbook, or a handwritten recipe to one that is easy to read and file in the app. I used to find recipes online, and then close the window, and forget about it. No more!
Great App
by Pattiblank – Aug 23, 2021
I love this app and use it every time I want to try something new. I also get a free cookbook of my choice every month with so many to choose from. I highly recommend it.
Simply Terrific
by im a cook – Jul 2, 2021
This a wonderful app. Ez to use and navigate. Perfect to store all ur recipes! Highly recommend!!
Necessary
by Tye mom – Jul 3, 2021
This program is as necessary as my computer. It saves time and stress whether planning weekly menu, quick dessert or searching for something different. Cooking has become a chore in my older years and need for 1 serving meals. If I didn’t have it I would probably be eating cereal and sandwiches. Thank you Cook’n staff and Dan for continually creating new ideas and easier navigation for me and others who are adjusting to new cooking habits. Ya’ll are the best.
Cook’n is Hot Stuff!!
by Lesl in Manhattan Beach – Jul 8, 2021
This app is so incredibly easy to use! I’m having so much fun “capturing” recipes, old and new! It makes organization of years of recipes easy and fun!! I love the tips that they send you and the videos too!! Thanks Cook’n! I’m enlightening all of my fellow cooking friends!
Awesome App!
by 3actsmom – Jul 14, 2021
Love love love my cookn app. Had it since jump. Best money ever spent!!!!!
Best thing since sliced bread!!
by janece_m – Jul 17, 2021
I could not live without this app!! It has changed my world! Best thing since sliced bread and I recommend it to everyone I know !
Excellent customer support!
by Bonmarche87 – Jul 20, 2021
Not only is this the best recipe app out there, the customer support is awesome. They have the most dedicated talented people working on making this app the best. I’ve been using this app for over 10 years. It’s that good.
Best Recipe App!
by Allies Cats – Jul 21, 2021
This is the best recipe app. I love that you can edit the recipes.
A great App for storing recipes.
by Polar strike – Jul 23, 2021
This is a great app for storing all my recipes in one place and categorizing them so they are easy to find. I have so many recipes written down and unorganized so it is wonderful to be able to take a picture of them and then store in the designated category. Also, I love to be able to easily add recipes I see on the internet that I want to try.
Long Time User
by ihavetohaveaname – Jul 26, 2021
I’ve used Cook’n for over 10 years I found it to be the best recipe and cooking app for me. I also have used their customer service many times and they are always prompt, thorough, and go the extra mile to fix any problems. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Time Saver!
by Felice Nightengale – Jul 5, 2021
This app is amazing! it is saving me so much time on typing in our printed recipes.
Great Recipe Organizer
by LibMary – May 21, 2021
Love the way you can organize your recipes. Also like the way it captures the recipe and leaves all the blogging behind.
Best recipe app
by SJ44444 – May 10, 2021
Pretty much best recipe app. Probably ever. Let’s you find things on the internet then share to the app. It does a pretty good job integrating it into the app, also! Better than my 2” binder that is exploding!!
I love Cook’n
by CaliMacSue – May 16, 2021
I use this mostly every day and love how easy it is to search and capture recipes. I also like that I can change servings to modify the recipe for how many I need at that time.
Cook'n is the BEST of ALL!
by Phillip Flynn – May 21, 2021
The customer support is excellent, and they always follow-up to make sure that you are satisfied. I've tried many other's product such as: "The Living Cookbook, Master Cook, Big Oven and NYC, but this is by far and above the best cooking/recipe software available. Best of all they are constantly striving to make an already exceptional product even better, with frequent updates and new features. I highly recommend it to everyone who loves to cook and collect recipes!!!
Fabulous Software
by J B Lilly – May 1, 2021
I have been using this software for probably 9 years or more. I absolutely love it! When grocery shopping I can whip open the app and make sure I have in my cart all of the ingredients necessary to make each recipe. And the ability to scale the recipe to accommodate the number of servings I want each time, it a huge plus.
Love Cook’n
by Donna Bere – May 12, 2021
I know I am not using all Cook’n has to offer but I love how my recipes are organized and so easy to print and share. I makes it so easy when you’re undecided as to wha cook or bake. This app makes it foolprooff
I love Cook’n
by SAS-SB – May 15, 2021
I’ve used this app from its very beginning. It has been wonderful! It has kept up with technology and continues to add features. I love how I can capture almost any recipe from the internet or type in my own and categorize it. I can share recipes instantly from anywhere as well. When grocery shopping, I can look up a recipe at the store to make sure I have all the ingredients! Dan, you and your staff ROCK!
Must have!!!!
by Okcatlady – May 17, 2021
We have used Cook’n for years!! I brag about all it’s features to friends and family. Anyone who will listen gets to hear how amazingly easy it is to use. I transferred all our family recipes into Cook’n. I’ve created menu’s for a whole year. It’s also super easy to capture recipes and print out ones you want to share with friends. Best program ever!!!!
Cookin app
by Piwakit – May 18, 2021
This app is simply the BEST, I’ve been a loyal cookin’ follower for 15+ years and they Never Disappoint! The creators are innovative and conscientious with their attention to detail and CONSTANT upgrades and improvements to bring the best user friendly experience. I’ve tried many other apps out there and they lack the variety and intuitive application this application delivers. Kudos to the developer, their loyal staff and of course ... all of us that appreciate their love of food !!💕🥰
Easy & Fun!
by Kathy Wire – May 19, 2021
SUCH a cool recipe program! This is hands-down the best at entering, capturing, organizing, storing, and using recipes. Cook'n has made recipe management easy and fun.
In Love!
by heartofsinging – Apr 15, 2021
I am so in love with this app! It Is exactly what I was looking for and exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much for creating this
Hallelujah!
by kell_9310 – Apr 17, 2021
This is the app I’ve been on the search for for what seems like FOREVER! There’s few things more annoying that scrolling & scrolling past all the blog info and pop up ads of a great recipe page on Pinterest just to finally get to the recipe card and have it disappear or scroll away from yet another ad. SO nice to be able to see those beloved recipes put into a simple, old school looking recipe index card format, but still digital and shareable. I love that it syncs up well with grocery list planning. So practical and SO useful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love it!
by cvaughan701 – Apr 19, 2021
I have been a user of Cook’n for years. I love it. Keeps getting better and better and it keeps getting more user friendly. Thanks a bunch !!
Love it!!!❤️
by Gardenia13 – Apr 19, 2021
This app is such a great way to collect, organize, and share recipes. And to top it off, it’s FUN!!!
Best Recipe Program Ever!
by Ladybug Syl – Apr 21, 2021
I have used many computer programs during the years but this one is the most impressive ever! I love the power it has to capture recipes in multiple formats. If you love to have your favorite recipes all in one place, this is the program for you. I love Cook’n and highly recommend it!
Cannot Go Wrong!
by Fern Kwantes – Mar 26, 2021
I have used this program ever since it started. I was sad when it went to a monthly subscription because I thought I wouldn't use it enough to need it. However, being able to access my recipes away from home has come in quite handy! Plus I no longer need to print off the recipe to take with me into the kitchen! Whenever I have had any issues, there has been someone there to help me figure them out. I pay for a more premium subscription which gives me a weekly newsletter filled with recipes and articles about all things food related. Some things I knew and some I have learned. I enjoy reading and trying new recipes and this program is great for that. The other thing I like is that I can change the serving size and the program will make the adjustments for the recipe. They are constantly working on making it better so if you are looking for an intuitive recipe program where you can collect recipes and leave comments on them and if you like sharing your recipes with others, you cannot go wrong with this one. I have shared recipes with friends near and far, very easily
Fabulous App
by DLSULL – Oct 28, 2020
I started using Cook’n first when I stumbled across it as a disk in an office supply store. I have use it ever since. Almost every recipe I use is stored on it. Try it. You will be as hooked as I am!
Best Cooking app ever
by Dxichic – Oct 27, 2020
I love this app and could not get along without it. Everyone who cooks needs this app.
Great app to gather all your recipes in one place!
by Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow – Oct 25, 2020
This is such an easy way to gather all your recipes from anywhere online into one place. You can easily edit recipes to show exactly how you made them, and enter your own recipes from scratch as well. Highly recommend!
LOVE THIS PROGRAM!
by Barbara Jane from Missouri – Oct 24, 2020
I have had it for 6 plus years. An easy way to save all your recipes. You can carry your recipes with you or collect new ones! Enjoy
Awesome Recipes
by Rednative2 – Oct 24, 2020
Want to make it into a cookbook and give as gifts for Xmas. I have found a lot of 5 star recipes in this app. Love it!
Love it already!
by TeamKJ85 – Oct 20, 2020
I just found this app and I love it already! I love to cook and I love trying to find new things to feed my family. My husband loves his restaurant at home lol. This app has already been so easy to use, and being able to go straight to the recipe without HAVING to read the back story is so nice. Also, now I don’t have to have 20+ tabs open on my phone of recipes I found online. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to cook!
This App is Awesome......❤
by Reggie937 – Oct 20, 2020
The Best App that I have downloaded in years
Love love love it
by jinamax – Oct 17, 2020
This is so user friendly! And I love that I can just print all the recipes I have in a cook book so fast!

Amazing recipes it doesn’t run you in circles either straight to what you want
Glad I found this app
by SBD64 – Oct 11, 2020
Pocket wouldn’t save recipes I wanted so glad to find this app. Just what I needed.
Love this app
by JennRo730 – Oct 10, 2020
I love this app. I have hundreds of recipes from dozens of websites, plus I can add my own. Although you have to pay for unlimited recipe space I think it's worth it!!!
FANTASTIC
by AlyssaStroble – Oct 8, 2020
I just started using it and I think it’s absolutely amazing!!
Awesome and Easy
by LVQT – Edited Oct 7, 2020
I’ve been using this program since it came out on CD. The app is genius. I love how easy it is to capture recipes and share them with friends at family. I even use it to create a “cookbook” for my essential oil and soap formulations.
Not only does it save recipes but, it automatically cuts or adds them in half for you!
by ImaginaryMusicLover – Oct 6, 2020
You add a recipe that makes 4 servings but, you’re only 1 person? Just tap the serving number and it calculates the amount of ingredients that you need to feed 1 and, vise versa. This app has so many things that paid apps don’t have. It’s amazing.
Perfect
by super perfct app – Oct 3, 2020
Amazing for importing weight watcher recipes. Perfect
Amazing
by Soraya Ospina – Oct 5, 2020

The Best
by Randy Ross – Oct 7, 2020
By far the best, easiest, most complete recipe app I have ever used.
Easy to Use
by Doreen C – Oct 18, 2020
Very easy to use...I should have used this app long ago..before I lost so many good recipes.. ❤️❤️❤️
So Happy I Found This!
by alina margolis – Oct 29, 2020
was looking for this app for a long time,so easy
AWESOME!
by David Knowles – Oct 29, 2020
This is probably the BEST app I have ever found and used. I hated cookbooks and always having to look through them. Now I have my own...organized as I like...and I have cooked more new and interesting things than I ever have before. Simply said....it's AWESOME!
Best App for Cooks
by susiej1965 – Sep 21, 2020
best app for cooks that are organized. Keeps everything on track. Calculate different servings a breeze. So much easier than doing it yourself. I can copy and send my recipes to anyone or print them out for gifts. 💕💕💕
Love it
by CBarr0220 – Sep 2, 2020
Super convenient, imports Pinterest recipes and everything
Cook’n is a great app
by Debsy76 – Sep 2, 2020
I have entered my special family recipes and love that I can easily find them using my phone. The “capture”feature is awesome. I find recipes from different sources. Once I make the recipe and like it I can easily find it using the search option. Capturing the recipe and adding it to my cookbook is so easy. I have had this app for years and really appreciate all the updates that have made it so great.
Like a best friend from my past!
by Jennierosec – Sep 28, 2020
Back in the 90s, I used Cook’n, by DVO, computer software to create a cookbook. It was great!! I was not the most technically advanced person, and I’m not much better now. Mostly because, since then, I was in an automobile accident that has left me paralyzed. So, typing is extremely difficult, for me. I have been looking for software to recreate a cookbook, for, now my grown-up children and children in laws. I never thought to try the same software as I used then, because I was certain that there would be a much newer, shinier, easier option and 20 years newer. Right!?! Well, I couldn’t find anything that seemed completely user-friendly. One day I got The idea that I should just look for an app for my phone. Thinking that I could at least talk the text into my phone without having to buy any extra accessories for my computer. I got down a rabbit hole of different apps. None of them being the perfect package, and the seemingly good ones received terrible reviews… After I had read through about 30 different apps, I literally said to myself I am going to, one more time, change my wording in the search bar... The only thing that popped up this time was Cook’n, by DVO! I glanced at the review stars, and read one review. I read through the options offered on this app, and
my mind was freaking blown!!! This app is way beyond all the others! It was like meeting my best friend from 20 years ago, and picking up right where we left off! I spent four hours on that first day setting everything up. I don’t know if someone will take the time to read this whole review, but I just want to say thank you to Dan!!! You have made this a possibility, and with ease, beyond my wildest dreams!!!! Thank you and your team of elves!!!!!!!!
So far, exactly the recipe app everyone should have
by Stupid neck name – Sep 3, 2020
I can’t believe I’ve had my iPad for 4 years now and smartphones for a decade and I just downloaded this app today. Just get it, period. It’s free. Sure it has adds, but it does what you want it to do, and it does it well.
Highly Recommend!
by Jane Brizendine – Sep 23, 2020
I have used Cook'n for several years. I have seen their hard work for constant improvement in the program. The technical staff is there to help solve any hiccups that may occur and resolve the issues. You are not left without satisfaction. I love creating our family cookbook and having access where ever I am to the recipes. Adding pictures and changing themes are a lot of fun and add to your personal history.
I have the premium membership and would highly recommend it. A plus to this program is the cloud where whatever you input into your Cook'n it will be available to all devices you have. I ;personally have my android phone and tablet as well as my pc with Cook'n installed. Yes a true foodie here. Thanks to everyone for making a great product and a Cook'n family.
Awesome app
by RPaigeB – Sep 6, 2020
This app was just what I was looking for. Thanks

Best app I have found to store all of my recipes in one place.
Best recipe app!!!
by DVO3 – Sep 15, 2020
I have never seen more functionality and simplicity in a recipe app!! You can grab all your Pinterest recipes with like one tap!!!!
Love it!
by TheKnitDr – Sep 21, 2020
I think this app is awesome! Highly recommend!
Does what it says it does
by NotZed – Sep 27, 2020
My go too cooking app - I will find recipes in a bunch of different sources but will always search for them in Cook’n and collect them here. The multiple cookbooks I make is helpful.
Quick easy recipe capture
by BankingBuddy – Sep 27, 2020
Love being able to capture recipes so easily. Sure beats opening a word doc and saving them to a file.
Awesome app!
by Mari Miller – Sep 6, 2020
I love being able to keep all my social media recipes in one spot.
Amazing!!
by amanda bunn-grossman – Sep 10, 2020
This app is amazing!!! Im soo happy that ive run across the cook'n recipe app because now i have a place to keep all the recipes that i find other than just letting them scatter all over my phone hahaha i believe i will be using this app for now on when it comes to new recipes and old. Thank you!!
Fabulous recipe organizer
by Tanna McNally – Sep 19, 2020
Love this app. Fast and courteous help when needed. Easy to use!
Love this app
by Phil StCyr – Aug 25, 2020
I've been a long-time user of Cook'n and it continues to amaze me. I sometimes wonder what the next improvement will be ----- will they just send somebody to my house and cook the recipe for me? I have built my own recipe cookbook with over 800 recipes that I have either cooked or want to cook. I like being able to update the recipes in the cloud from my phone, iPad or laptop computer. I can be visiting someone and print a recipe directly from my phone.... how convenient is that!
I love this app!
by Barbara Enzler – Aug 25, 2020
Have had it for many years and couldn't live without it! Tech support has always been helpful when needed (thanks Marisa) for the recent help with my android device and problem. Features just keep getting better and better. In fact,I'd consider this program a lifesaver as about 7 years ago right before Christmas we suffered a house fire and.even though I didn't have my cookbooks I was able to access my Cook'n database and retrieve my recipes! It was such a huge help and i'll never forget it! And now that we have an RV and on the road quite a bit, i am never far from my database whether on my phone or tablet. Thanks Cook'n and keep up the good work!
Fantastic Program!
by Natalie Kathryn – Aug 6, 2020
I have been a very satisfied Cook’n user for many years. I tried several cooking software programs before I found Cook’n and Cook’n is by far THE VERY BEST!! Everything they say it can do, it does and it keeps improving. I can honestly say I use the program multiple times every day, whether on my desktop, iPad or iPhone because I have my entire recipe collection at my fingertips no matter where I am. I can’t say enough about the DVO support team. If for any reason you should need their help, the response time and expertise in a word - EXCEPTIONAL! You can’t go wrong with a membership plan and I have had the premium plan from day one. Bottom line - I highly recommend Cook’n! You won’t be disappointed!
Excellent and great support !
by @High1springs – Aug 5, 2020
I have been a member for a long time -years. I love this app. I also have it on my Mac, iPad and fire tablet. Easy to use. And their support team is awesome. Highly recommend if you like to keep recipes. Has a lot of extra features. You can even print your own cookbook.
Best of the best!
by Ach4el – Aug 10, 2020
I’ve been using this app, first on my Mac laptop, and then finally on my phone when the mobile app became available. I waited months for the Mac version of this program to be re-developed and published. It is definitely the best of the ones that I reviewed before I ventured into an electronic version of a cookbook. I have quite a few cookbooks that I added to my collection over the years and I have hundreds of recipes that I have captured to add to my personal collections and share with family and friends. It is rare for me to have any problems with the program\app, but when they do occur, the support staff is always very helpful and have resolved all of my issues. Speaking of support, I just purchased a new Mac laptop with the latest version of the OS so I need to transfer all my books and recipes to the new device. Support was very helpful in explaining how to do that & every instruction they gave me worked like a charm. Well done!
Awesome
by DC3132 – Aug 6, 2020
Where has this been all my life? No more trying to find a recipe that I used once on the internet! Not perfect but pretty darn close and easy to make edits.
Cookn
by Angeni1 – Aug 30, 2020
Over the top awesome! Love that I am able to capture recipes on the go and review them later. Best program I've ever used to create a cookbook for gifts.
This app is awesome!

This app makes it so nice to compile delicious recipes.
Love this!

Best app ever!!!!!
by Tigger Rig – Aug 9, 2020
Makes getting all your recipes in one place so easy and you can have it on multiple devices.
Works Great! Running on 5 Android Devices!

App running great. No current problems. Would recommend 100%. I am running on desktop and five android devices.
Best App Every for Kitchen Lovers!!!
by CookinCasey – Aug 9, 2020
Perfect app that takes all those recipes you find online and organizes them in one place in the same format. Was just talking about how I needed this last night.
Awesome app!
by Luvshepherds – Aug 12, 2020
Great app. Makes finding/saving recipes easy- even index card hand written ones.
Never lose a recipe again
by pgquilter – Aug 14, 2020
Have you ever found a recipe on the internet and when ready to use it, you can’t find it again? This app lets you capture the recipe and put it in your box ready to be used over and over. It's great!
Fabulous recipe organizer
by kruss4 – Aug 6, 2020
I have been using this program almost since the very beginning so have seen it come so very far. I actually don’t know what I would do without it. Not only do I have all my favorite recipes that I’ve actually made (and now can easily edit and share), But now instead of having folders, binders and drawers full of recipes that I’ve torn out of magazines, I have them easily organized in this fabulous app. And one of the other really cool features is if you are a premium member, their support staff is the best of any program I’ve ever used. I always get personal responses to emails that I send asking how to do something no matter how complicated I think it is. I can’t say enough about this and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to collect recipes. With the new capture feature it couldn’t be easier to pull things from magazines, Blogs and other online sources.
Cook'n is Hot Stuff!!

Best of the best
by jelutong – Jul 27, 2020
I've tried almost every recipe app there is out there and this one is the best. It allows easy access capture of internet recipes as well as converting hand written and typed recipes.
Amazing recipe app
by Tree Luee dee – Edited Jul 29, 2020
This recipe app does it ALL - save a recipe to the app while you're on a specific page. Search recipes while in the app, sync to Pinterest, cut and paste to add your own recipe. I'll never need another recipe app :)
Great App!
by Areteem – Jul 7, 2020
I've been using Cook'n for quite a few years - since it was a desktop-only program. When they moved to a cloud-based, subscription-based app, I was dubious. Why on earth would I want to pay to store my recipes? Then I tried it. And then I was hooked! I love having my recipes at my fingertips wherever I am - at my desk, in my kitchen, at the food store, camping, friend's house, wherever. The app keeps improving with age, and customer service has been great the few times I've had to contact them. If you're on the fence, try it for a few months. You'll be hooked too.
Awesome for Long term care
by Wjd1234 – Jul 15, 2020
We are using this program in our green house long term care facility. Absolutely love that I can have it on multiple devices and sync them together with one easy click! Super happy with this!
Best Recipe App
by Iyv – Jul 8, 2020
This is the easiest and best recipe app. I have it on my desktop as well as saved to the Cook.n cloud. It syncs easily with my iPad and iPhone. I love that when I see a recipe online I can just copy and paste the link into my Cook'n app and the recipe and all the directions just appear. Even when there was a glitch on my iPad they fixed it within 2 days. Worth every penny! I love going to the grocery store and having all of my recipes easily available so that I don't forget any ingredients. I have also shared my recipes with friends and family. I love it!
Love this app
by callahan18 – Jul 15, 2020
I love keeping all my recipes organized and easy to access. I took all those scraps of paper with recipes from friends at work and they are now all in my cookbook and can see them on my computer or phone. I am always getting recipes from social media, also. Any time I have needed support, they respond in a timely manner and are very helpful.
Excellent product!
by Rub456 – Jul 2, 2020
I have been using this software for years, and it is by far the best one out there. I have tried several others, but always come back to Cook'n. Their service is phenomenal and they are very quick at responding and offering whatever assistance is needed. You won't be disappointed in this software.
Excellent!!!
by lighthousebaker – Edited Jul 30, 2020
This app is GREAT!!!! When I first opened it I thought I liked it but the price scared me!!! (I found out later it is free!)BUT after PM the creator of the program I was TOTALLY impressed and amazed!!! I started using it and ran into problems!! He personally helped me out and got me moving forward again!!! My daughters are away from home right now and they PM me and tell me which recipe to put on next because they want that recipe!!!! We have been searching for such a program and so glad we found Cook'n. I love the videos. It is so easy to add recipes to my cookbook. The only complaint I heard was that my DIL said that if she used this app she would never be calling me for a recipe!!! Thanks again for the good job!!! Thanks THANKS THANKS!!!!! For the great job!!!!
Love it!
by Amabry20 – Jul 26, 2020
I used to take screenshots of recipes and would end up losing them in the rest of my photos, now with this app it makes it easier to stay organized and try new recipes. Love it!
Love this App!

I love this app. I can spend countless hours just browsing. But my favorite feature is how I can capture my favorite recipes in my own beautiful, always accessible cookbook. The best of the internet recipes at my fingertips, just a click away.
So Easy!
by Mike Read – Jul 13, 2020
Terrific cookbook manager and recipe search with amazing support. I've tried a number of such apps. This is not the least expensive, but it offers more bang for buck than any other - including some that are totally free. Little short of terrific.
My Favorite!
by Henry Phillips – Jul 11, 2020
I love this app. Makes it so easy to capture recipes from my Facebook friends
Best Way to Store Recipes!
by Connie Watson – Jul 8, 2020
Got Cook'n as a Christmas present a few years ago. What a great way to store my recipes! I love that I can adjust quantities. The Capture and Snip It tools make it easy to save recipes from the web. And it's pretty easy to share with my friends and family. When I did have a minor technical problem, the DVO support team quickly got me back up and running.
Absolutely the best.
by Sunlaker 2 – Jul 1, 2020
I have been using this for years. I now have close to 2000 recipies in my personalized cookbook. I am only using about 30% of the capabilities. You can scan, use a web page or copy and paste to clipboard. Also download to Pinterest. Each upgrade has a new function. I have had a few glitches but most have been my fault. Superb customer service. Every issue I had was resolved. If you enjoy cooking, this is the app for you.
Wow!
by Saxon Marvin – June 22, 2020
WOW! This app is really the best recipe app I've found so far, and I have tried many different ones including Tasty and Allrecipes. This app will scale the portion sizes for you, allows for different cookbooks, and is just easy to use! I'm very impressed with the thoughtfulness put into its design.
Love this app
by Sweetshot1 – Jun 13, 2020
Totally worth the money!! Keeps all my recipes in one place. Easily accessible. Imports my Pinterest recipes!! Winner winner, choices for dinner, or lunch or breakfast 😁
Love this app!
by RonandAud – Jun 13, 2020
I was looking for a place to keep my recipes and easily adjust the portions/servings. This app is amazing! Easily import recipes from the internet that you find and like, enter your own recipes, print them, share them, even scan recipe cards to enter. As a new user, I know I haven’t completely experienced everything this app can do yet and am loving the learning process. The other thing I absolutely love is the app keeps the recipe open and active on my phone or tablet instead of it going to sleep every few minutes. Love it!
I love it
by LarrissaS – Jun 27, 2020
I have tried a dozen apps that make promises about organizing recipes and they were all so cumbersome. This one does what it promises and will save me a ton on printer paper and inks and frustration.
I use Cook’n almost daily!
by muppet#50 – Jun 7, 2020
It is so convenient having my recipes in one place instead of having to search. I have entered favorites cut from newspapers and magazines- it’s great having them all together.
Never lose a recipe again
by pgquilter – Jun 5, 2020
Have you ever found a recipe on the internet and when ready to use. It You can’t find it again. This app lets you capture the recipe and put it in your box ready to be used over and over it great.
Absolutely the BEST
by Gail Deptula – Jun 29, 2020
I have used this app for years! Had it on my computer before cell phones were even thought of!!!!! I love to cook, love trying new recipes, can scan my had written or printed recipies into the program with out typing them, love the fact that I can capture recipes, and can have a way to publish a recipe book with my husband's family Polish recipes and my Scott-Irish family recipes can be passed down for future generations to cherish.
Ten Stars!
by Carol Mccloskey – Jun 2, 2020
This app/program is totally excellent. I love the ease of capturing recipes from the internet. I can capture to cloud or desktop! I gave his app 5 stars but would give it more if I could. I definitely love this app. Carol
Only recipe database I ever use
by Hutpatchama – May 17, 2020
Greatest thing ever. I capture all my recipes here. The best part is that as long as my phone is with me so are my recipes. I love scaling recipes so quickly to increase or decrease the ingredients based on the serving size. And it does it so quickly! The internet search and capture feature is fantastic.
I’ve been using this database for years and am increasingly impressed with how dvo works to keep things working smoothly and efficiently. I can’t imagine being in the grocery store and encountering a glitch that would interfere with my shopping for a special meal. Never happened. It’s always there when I need it.
I can’t imagine EVER using another recipe database
Love this app
by loretta trujillo – May 15, 2020
The family created a "tester" cookbook. We all can capture recipes and when we don't know what to make, we try out the recipes in there to see if they make the cut to be copied in to the "keeper" cookbook. Love the capture feature. It may take some learning but they have plenty of video guides to help
Above and Beyond
by Mountaingirl. – Edited Jun 3, 2020
The developers have gone above and beyond anything I’ve experienced in the past with any software company to address my issues. They have tweaked the “capture” process to help the app “capture” a recipe in Cook’n format rather than the very busy website format. I found them to be most concerned and attentive to helping me with my issues and feel they now deserve 10 stars rather than the 5 that is possible. They even told me to keep in touch if there are any other “capture” issues and they will tweak those as well. Well done, gang! Thanks so much.
Excellent customer satisfaction!
by Linda535 – Edited May 20, 2020
I’ve used Cook’n for about 20 years now and I’ve never had such great customer service EVER with any company. Dan of DVO is committed to outstanding software and service.
I know his customer-users are able on the forum to suggest changes and new features. He considers every single suggestion and implements most of them.
He’s totally responsive to his customers.
You can’t get a better company product than that.
Never lose a recipe again

Great way to organize your recipes!
by Margie Breslow – Apr 24, 2020
Absolutely wonderful... During corona hiatus...entered 89 pages of my late mother's recipes (3-4 recipes per page) and simply pressed a print button, ordered 7 copies paged & bound & chaptered.. can't wait for my XMas presents!!! Very easy!! Loved it!!!
Please don’t mess with perfect
by The Coconut Shrimp King – Apr 25, 2020
I had 4 recipe apps on my ipad until this one came along. Now I have one as I have moved all my favorites into Cook’n. Think of it, a recipe app that lets you combine all your cooking goodies in one place. A recipe app that lets you pull recipes from just about every conceivable place.
Some examples:
From my ipad i just take a picture of my recipe with my iphone and then import it into cooking.
Ever pick up a magazine at the Doctors office and find a recipe that you would like to have. Just take a pic with your phone and tell Cook’n to import it into your collection. Leave the page in the mag for someone else to tear out.
Want to get a copy of Aunt Jane’s recipe for banana pudding, but she will not share, wait till she leaves the kitchen, snap a quick pic and Cook’n will do the rest.
So very simple to edit, add pics, or an additional ingredient.
And the app comes loaded with hundreds of tried and tested recipes, with more added each month.
Honestly i added all my on and my wife's favs in just a couple of nights while watching TV. Also pulled out all of her old notes, mag. pages and recipe cards and with a simple pic, added them to Cook’n.
This app is so great, it’s kind of spooky. Support is fantastic! Most all issues are covered very well with free tips and videos so the support people are most likely bored and just waiting for someone to ask a question. I send them a email every so often just to give them something to do.
So look no more, this app is the bomb of cooking apps.

Great Way to Share and Store Recipes
by Ells916 – Apr 27, 2020
I love how the app makes the recipes easy-to-read by removing all the “extra” stuff on the website! Also, you can add friends and share recipes with them easily! I didn’t know I needed this and now I can’t be without it!
Best software ever!
by TNTEaley – Apr 23, 2020
I have used the Cook’n software for the past ten years. I love the cookbooks, pared with the web recipes that is so much like Pinterest. And now you can sync your Pinterest recipes with it! Not to mention the ability to create a shopping list based on the recipes you are using. Awesome!!
Game changer for cooking
by cook'n user – Apr 7, 2020
I’ve been using this software since 2010 when it was only computer software. I now have thousands of recipes stored in the program and use a combination of the ipad and iphone apps and mac computer software. It is fantastic to always have all of my recipes literally at my fingertips. When a friend asks for a recipe, I just have to pull out my phone to share it with them. Fantastic app, dedicated customer service if you run into issues and a company with a long track record of success. Thank you for all of the hard work to keep our recipes safe, secure and accessable everywhere!
Love this best ever award
by windove7 – Apr 16, 2020
Loved this app best ever and easier to use it all in categories and different parts that is need for ingredient shopping everything is one app. It is so wonderful to have it on my ph. Thanks and keep it going don’t ever close or stop this app. Keep on going no matter what. Have a great day !!!!!
Best cooking software I have seen
by want tobe chef – Apr 10, 2020
Use it almost everyday
Great recipe Keeper
by Juicy rla – Apr 27, 2020
I just started using Cook’n app and I love it! I must say it is the best app to organize your recipes that I have found! Ages ago I used their software and like it as well, but the ease of using this new app is great! I would highly recommend it...And it’s fun and easy to use!
Easiest Recipe Site!
by Jacko-Bean – Apr 26, 2020
Quick and easy to find your favorite recipes! I can even scan my grandmothers recipes onto the site. Great app allows sisters from our church to inner-act and pick from each others recipes. LOVE THIS APP!!!
Awesome software, GET IT NOW!!!
by adam was robbed – Apr 21, 2020
I have been using this software for many years now and on multiple devices (PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone) and it is awesome! I cannot imagine not having it and using it to organize all my magazine and online recipes! I will say it doesn’t replace the personal family recipe binders I still have and always will have and cherish with my mother’s, aunts and grandparents handwriting! Or the ones I will leave to my children with my own handwriting but to be able to access a lot is newer recipes form any device and share so easily with friends and family. And to be able to access quickly while at the grocery.
Their customer service is very prompt and fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend!!!
Best Recipe App
by Techno elder – Apr 18, 2020
Have tried many recipe apps over the years but this one has the most features of all & this is always my go to app. There are a few more features on my windows computer that I would also love to see on my IOS apps but other than that I can’t say enough good about this app. This one is a keeper!!!
Cook’n
by Gulygoon – Apr 20, 2020
I Love the Cook’n app! I have it on my home computer, where typing my recipes is a breeze. I have it on my IPad which is a perfect screen to cook with and of course on my phone. If I need a recipe while at the store there’s no problem, it’s right at my fingertips. Anytime I have a problem the support team is there to help!
Love it
by jfhdcgv – Apr 3, 2020
I never rate apps, but this one is awesome! It will transfer cursive written recipes into digital format with little work and it works great!
Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️
by Gardenia13 – Apr 5, 2020
This app is such a great way to collect, organize, and share recipes. And to top it off, it’s FUN!!!
The Best Recipe Program
by Mother Of Israel – Apr 3, 2020
I’ve been using Cook’n for many years now. In fact, I used to purchase the Cook’n Software. I have found the Program is really easy to use and also to keep track of your own personal recipes. It allowed me to capture recipes off the internet when I found one I want to try. I really enjoy having it on my Computer, iPhone and iPad. It has made it so much easier in planning meals and in preparing meals. When my schedule was too busy, I was able to look a recipe up, so I knew what ingredients I was going to purchase when stopping at the store before going home. When I was away from home and someone asked me for the recipe for the dish that I made for that event, I was able to share it with them right then. I love receiving the free Cookbooks as well each month. When there has been any issues, they have been so supportive looking into the situation to get the problem resolved.
Love being able to easily share recipes
by Nalene Ann – Apr 4, 2020
I love this app. I can use it on my computer and then see it on my phone when in the store. I can also easily share recipes with friends anywhere using my phone or tablet. Great app for people who love cooking and recipes!!
SO much to explore
by david carey – Apr 18, 2020
There is SO much to explore ... for me the ease with which i can capture recipies and looking at them on my phone is great
LOVE THIS APP!
by Have A Heart – Apr 11, 2020
Finally a place to keep all my favorite recipes in one place! Easy to use, to!
I LOVE this app!
by Suzanne Brown – Apr 22, 2020
I have been using Cook'n for over a decade in one form or another. This is your one stop app for recipe anything!! You should at least give it a try. You will love it!!
Great way to organize your recipes!
by Jana Slocum – Mar 10, 2020
I have used this recipe organizer for many years & love it! When you have lots of recipes the hard part is finding it to make it again if you like it. This app makes it so easy. Any recipe I make that I would make again I add to my family cookbook I created so I can easily find it, print it, email/text it to others or open it on my phone in the grocery store to buy ingredients. You can even print a cookbook from your personal additions. Try it - you will love it!
Impressive!
by RickD46 – Mar 10, 2020
Have had this software for a long time but never really used it. Circumstances now dictate that I will use it and everything I look at in it impresses me. Quality throughout and DVO folks really care about the Cook’n family. Just started v14 and will work my way though it. Dan and all his folks are top notch. Very innovative software. Thanks!
Great way to organize recipes
by HoosierCook – Mar 25, 2020
Have not used Cook’n for several years. But with v14 recently added, I decided to give it a try again for all the paper recipes I have accumulated. Excellent scanning features to make it much easier to add to my existing personal cookbook. Also will be able to find a favorite recipe VERY easy now. A lot of other features I want to try shortly. Support has been very easy to work with.
Best Recipe App I've Used!
by Shelbalexa – Mar 13, 2020
LOVE this app. Easy to capture recipes. Syncs up with my desktop version. So easy to move between my samsung phone app, my windows desktop program, and my iPad app. I capture recipes when I'm out and about, or sitting on my back porch planning dinners for the next week. Just so easy to use.
Huge time saver!
by brendadv – Mar 22, 2020
I don’t know how I lived without this app for so long! I love to cook and make recipes my own. I had several website pages open on my phone so I could save recipes I liked - now I’m cleaning and organizing and this app has saved me so much time and my recipes are in one location!
Easy and Best Recipe
by Bobbie Ann P – Mar 25, 2020
I have been with Cook’n for years, and although I’m not a gourmet cook, I like having my recipes at my fingertips! What is absolutely the very best is the support team! Not often have I had problems, but when I have, they were so helpful. Keep a cook’n!!! The Cook’n Team constantly adds features to their app that makes cook’n easier and, for me, better. Once I have a recipe in my app via capturing from the internet, scanning, copying/pasting, or photographing, I’m able to email or message anyone a particular recipe. I’ve been with Cook’n for years, and I can’t say enough about their support team! My hats off to them and the rest of the Cook’n team!
I LOVE this app
by Murr21 - Dec 28, 2019
This is such a convenient and easy way to store all my favorite recipes. I use this app all the time!! I love the the convenience of capturing the recipe from blogs, rather than having to scroll down a novel-size blog post to find the recipe way at the bottom every time.
Excellent Product
by twotonechevy - Dec 29, 2019
Cook’n is an excellent product. It meets every need. That is a difficult product to maintain. The Cook’n support is the best support I’ve ever encountered and when was the last time you could talk with the Founder and CEO?
My favorite of ALL my apps!
by TwinsmomAL - Jan 7, 2020
This is my favorite app by far. No more am I standing in the grocery store trying to remember recipe ingredients. I started using Cook’n years ago when it was only PC software, and I enjoyed it back then, but the creation of this app was a complete game changer. I love to cook, so this app is my favorite kitchen tool (and toy because it’s so fun to use!). But even if you don’t enjoy cooking, this app could change that for you, or at least make it easier.
Recipes at my fingertips
by Lindsio - Jan 16, 2020
I love this app! I can share recipes with my family and friends, have my whole collection anywhere I go, and my recipe cards don’t get stained or worn out anymore. It’s so easy to find recipes online or import recipes from cookbooks or index cards. Worth every penny!
Keeps Getting Better and Better!!!
by Shirley Gue - Dec 31, 2019
I simply love this app and highly recommend it to everyone. It practically does everything but cook and serve the meals for you. You feed ingredients in that you have on hand, it searches the internet for recipes with those ingredients,you capture your favorite recipe, go in and change serving size to fit your needs and it increases or decreases the ingredients, prepares a shopping list for that recipe,and while that meal is cooking you can even change or rewrite that recipe for your taste
Keeps Getting Better and Better!!!
by Cindy Price - Mar 6, 2020
The Cook'n app is great. I love having access to my recipes on computer, tablet and phone. The search feature makes it so easy to find new recipes and save them in cookbook. The program has really improved through years, and customer service is helpful and quick to respond. Looking forward to using newly updated version 14.
OMG Wow!
by Kaye1122 - Feb 12, 2020
I love to cook and love looking for the perfect recipes...or finding an awesome one then tweaking it to my personal perfection. This App is so great & incredibly helpful. No more printed internet recipes, recipe screen shots on my IPad mixed in with regular photos or hand written ones to organize and keep track of. I also like that I can rate the recipes I try in my cookbook. I usually hand write grades on top pages of my printed sometimes food soiled pages.
LOVE IT SO MUCH DAN. You’re a genius.
Best Recipe App that just gets better.
by Kotton's Mom - Feb 16, 2020
I have used this app since I was allowed to Beta test it for MAC. The improvements never stop. There are many great features. In addition to having your recipes travel with you, you can capture internet recipes that format as imported; organize into cookbooks that make sense to you; and choose from a large variety of recipe cards. The search features are flexible: search by title, ingredient, classification, etc. And...If you encounter problems, the tech team works with you to resolve the issues.
Can’t Do Without It
by Texas ranch gal - Feb 12, 2020
I have been using this software since it first hit the market! It just keeps getting better. I am not a “techie” but I have received excellent help when I have had problems....probably all which I have caused. I recently accidentally deleted my personal cookbook. I was so stressed but, as usual, I got the assistance I needed and all is well again. If you love to cook, this is the best possible place to keep your recipes safe!!!
Love it!
by tassildy - Mar 5, 2020
I’ve had Cook’n for a very long time and have loved it from the start, with every upgrade it’s just an added perk! It’s super easy to capture any recipe and with our family cookbook online now it has finally made it so easy for all my children and grandchildren to have access to recipes passed down.
I LOVE this app

by Carvvicl - Dec 12, 2019
Cook’n is Awesome! I’ve been a Cook’n user a very, very long time. I still have my very first disc, BARBECUE! BIBLE Cook’ & Grill’n from DVO Enterprises. What a great find! I currently have 80,000+ recipes combined with all my cookbooks, and right at 2200+ in my personal cookbook I’ve created in Cook’n. Get your copy today, your won’t be sorry!
This is a GREAT APP!!!
by Fury dtyt - Dec 9, 2019
Many,many times Apps fail to live up to their hype. This App is an exception! It is very user friendly and does everything it advertises without “in-app purchases” to unlock certain functions. I’ve already recommended this to several people including my MOM who in her 80’s and is amazed at all the food online!
Love Cook’n
by Kim Cole - Dec 4, 2019
I love Cook'n! I have tried other programs to store my recipes. None of them match what Cook'n offers. User friendly. Plus you can go to your home page for inspiration. I like the additional options, being able to share recipes with family, friends, other apps. Create your own cookbook, download other cookbooks. This site offers everything needed for your personal recipe collection. And the customer service is 5-Star also.
Best Cookbook Ever
by kar#hil - Nov 30, 2019
I am a long time user of Cook’n and it has always been my favorite app. Every time a new feature comes out I continue to be excited and impressed. I would give up every cookbook I own rather than let go of Cook’n! I have even set up set up other “cookbooks.” One example is a book of recipes for my homemade cleaning supplies. As I have gotten older, my cooking has changed, and I have set up new cookbooks with recipes reflective of our eating habits. I am so thankful that years ago I saw the Cook’n software on a shelf in a big box store, and it sounded like just what I was looking for. Who knew it would become my favorite computer program.
Keeps Getting Better and Better!!!
by Mama fluffy - Nov 28, 2019
I spend a lot of time hunting for just the right recipe. Then I forget where I found it. This is a great way to save them. Also it creates the shopping list and categories the items. I also really like coming and discovering what everyone else is cooking. Great app!
The best program I’ve used in 20 years
by Hemmelgarn Kitchen - Nov 25, 2019
I have more than 20 years experience using different cookbook software. This is the most advanced and best program. I have it on my iPad, phone, and Mac. It is absolutely wonderful to have every recipe you save in your pocket. It is super easy to save any online recipe and now even to scan in your clipped ones. Also quick and easy to share that recipe when asked for it. Take your phone out of your pocket and email it on the spot. Don’t waste time hunting for that recipe. Just do a search. There are many great features. Finally, tech support has been great too. I really love this program and app.
Wonderful way to save all my recipes
by AngelinaSRogers - Nov 22, 2019
The scan option works amazingly well I'm so impressed at the ease of having a recipe format so quickly with very little input. Being able to type in a recipe with few clicks is also a very nice option and I will continue to utilize my newfound favorite .
The Perfect Cook’ Program
by Debbie 2019 - Nov 14, 2019
I have been a loyal user of Cook’n since their early days and continue to find it to be the BEST software on the market. It is remarkable to see the advancements Dan and his team have made over the years. I recently upgraded to the latest version of Cook’n and can’t believe all of the wonderful things you can now do with this program. The newest features make using Cook’n a dream. The ability to have all of my recipes at my fingertips anywhere I go is just fantastic. I love the ease with which you can import recipes from the Internet or Pinterest, add photos or videos to your recipe or scan directly into the program. It truly makes cooking for my family so much easier. There is always a way to find answers to whatever questions you might have by exploring their website or contacting their support team. They are very responsive and eager to lend a helping hand. The videos that Dan has created make it easy to learn all the functions of this powerful program. I highly recommend Cook’n to anyone who is looking for an easy way to become more organized, to have the ability to capture and share recipes or even make your own cookbooks. You won’t be disappointed with this program!
Awesome food app!
by Mellenj - Nov 4, 2019
Have been a user for many years and can’t imagine not having it readily available for use. Great recipes, book offers, easy to navigate, make your own cookbook. It’s a part of my cooking regimen. High recommend to all cooks, beginning and seasoned! Enjoy!
Keeps Getting Better and Better!!!
by Sher Schneider - Nov 23, 2019
I love the fact that I can capture recipes on the go! I've used Cook'n on my laptop for a long time and with the addition of the app, it just keeps getting better and better!
Best cookbook software out there
by Mbaileybend - May 8, 2019
I have been a MasterCook software user for many years until I found Cook’n. This is the best software I have ever used it so easy to capture any recipe out on the web even capture kindle cookbook recipes with ease. Very easy to find any recipe you’re looking for in your collection and share with friends. They are constantly upgrading and making things easier. They are always thinking of how they can make it more user-friendly and other things to do.
Best recipe manager ever.
by foobar toobar - May 1, 2019
We had been users of the Mac Gourmet line for years. Using this for just a few days convinced us that this is the way to go. I’d been scanning in and capturing all our favorites from hard copy, but using Cook’n has let us go find and download the originals, with the photos and all. Very tidy, and a huge amount less work!
by Doug Skinner - May 11, 2019
I am a very new user of Cook'n having used another recipe product [Living Cookbook], now defunct, for several years. I have successfully imported over 2000 recipes into Cook'n in a very short space of time. What do I like about this app. The quick support responses from their Forum, even with a 7-8 hour location time difference. My newfound interest in Cook’n on android tablet WOW! I have never used a tablet in the kitchen before. To my surprise it works. My eyes are now wide open to the possibilities. Once you recipes are loaded and saved to the desktop App. just sync Cook'n to your android (or other) tablet and your ready to cook. There are a lot of features in the Cook'n App. Give it a try, be patient and be rewarded with your own recipes in the kitchen where you want them.
Cook'n is the best!
by 64yo - May 20, 2019
I don't know what I'd do without my Cook'n app! It is easy to use and allows me to have my recipes with me wherever I am when I travel. I don't use half of the super features it offers, but that is only because I haven't taken time to learn them. I used another service prior to Cook'n and was reluctant to switch, but so glad I did! Their support is extremely responsive, however I rarely need it because their software is fairly intuitive and the FAQ section is pretty darn complete, including video assistance. Thank you Cook'n!
Best Software for Recipes out there!!!
by Dstdrt - May 21, 2019
I have been a Cook'n user for many years even when you had to purchase the software for every major upgrade and I love this app. This app put it over the top in my opinion. Nothing out there is comparable. It is so helpful to be able to look up a recipe while I am at the grocery store so I can make sure I have all the ingredients before I get home. Since I always have my phone with me, it is easy to look up a recipe when a friend asks what the recipe was for a dish I brought to their house. Also it is helpful when planning get togethers with friends. We all sit around planning who will bring what as we scroll through our recipes on our phones. This is a great company with hard working employees that work tirelessly to keep this software very user friendly and up to date with the constantly changing iPhone operating system. If I ever have problems with it, I can check their frequently asked questions to see if the answer is there, If not, i can shoot off an email and usually receive an answer within 24 hours. I do not hesitate to recommend this software to my friends.
Cook'n rocks
by richkray - Apr 26, 2019
I have been using this program for many years as it improves with every update. I am in process of writing a cook book professionally and this app saves me much time. Their support is relatively quick and get the answers to your questions. I tried other cooking programs and this by far is the best of all of them.
Great Recipe Organizer
by Dave VW - Apr 3, 2019
I had been a user of Living Cookbook for many years and just made the switch. I found Cook’n much nicer and very easy to use. The best features are how easy it is to import recipes from the internet and the ability to sync recipes across multiple devices.
by Cory Whiteman - Apr 25, 2019
I've been using Cook'n for 10 years now I think, they have changed a lot over the years, which growth in software is good. They have gone to a paid subscription which at first I was not a fan of, but they are growing and improving the software/app often so the cost is well worth it. I had to pay for updates almost every year before they went to a subscription base so the monthly fee pretty much evens out. I love the fact that I can have all my recipes in one spot, make a weekly menu and print out a shopping list. They have made it super easy to add recipes with the capture and now the
import recipe screenshot that I am waiting to show up on my app on my phone so I can start using that, super excited as I have a lot of recipe screen shots to add. All in all this app is really worth the money I have spent on it over the years and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The tech support is great as well and they get back to you within 24 hours most of the time sooner. Dan is the man... :)
A wonderful app and company...
by Texassew - Apr 13, 2019
I have been using Cook'n for about 20 years off and on when you bought a DVD in the mail. It use to be that you could put your recipes in the Cook'n app and if you had trouble with your computer, you lost all of your saved recipes along with all your other computer data. Not anymore! We now have the cloud to store all of our treasured recipes and keep them safe and sound. Along with the cloud to save everything, there are other things that are wonderful about Cook'n. There is a forum that you can join and talk to others, get help with Cook'n, get member support or just share a great recipe with the Cook'n community. Cook'n has another way to get help if you are having ANY problems. You can go online to DVO support and someone will get back to you in 24 to 48 hours. Support even includes them setting a time to get with you and get on your computer to find and end your Cook'n problems. The company is excellent. There is also a free cookbook each and every month for your membership fee. And, if that wasn't enough, you get a Newsletter that has a menu with recipes for the week that you can download to Cook'n. If you like Pinterest, you can save Pinterest recipes automatically to your Cook'n library. Dan and his team are constantly adding new things, or fixing a glitch here or there, and I am talking once or twice a month! They are like the Elves at the North Pole...always working on something for our benefit. Is all this affordable? I know it is. Are you a "foodie"? Do your recipes mean a lot to you? How about publishing your own cookbook of recipes that have been in your family for generations? You can with Cook'n. Are menus and shopping lists important as well to you? Cook'n does that too. I love my Cook'n app and found that I have my entire library with me when we go camping in our RV, which is nice to have on the road. Dan and his wonderful crew even fixed the problem of having to type in your recipes. We can now scan them in, or if you are online and find a great yummy recipe, you can click on an extension (a little strawberry) on the address bar and Cook'n imports your new find. I use that almost daily. Have I convinced you yet that this is the real deal and a terrific company as well? I hope so. I wouldn't still be with Cook'n if it wasn't. Hope to see you in the forum.
by A Google User - Apr 27, 2019
Cook'n is great!! We've used it for years and have only just rediscovered it. The app is a wonderful addition to an already great program. We tried Living Cookbook and MasterCook which are both okay but, Cook'n has the ability to do SHOPPING LISTS and MENUS which were non-existent or very hard to use with the other two programs.
by Piwakit - Mar 29, 2019
This app is simply the BEST, I’ve been a loyal cookin’ follower for 15+ years and they Never Disappoint! The creators are innovative and conscientious with their attention to detail and CONSTANT upgrades and improvements to bring the best user friendly experience. I’ve tried many other apps out there and they lack the variety and intuitive application this application delivers. Kudos to the developer, their loyal staff and of course ... all of us that appreciate their love of food !!
by gocook - Mar 21, 2019
I have been using Cook’n now for about 4 years. I love it. It’s very easy to add new recipes and fantastic when someone wants your recipe to be able to just open the program and send the recipe to them. Also it’s great to have my recipes always at hand when I’m in the grocery. I’ve printed my personal cookbook for the family so they have all the recipes they grew up with. Tech support is fantastic. They always answer within 24 hours with easy to follow instructions on how to resolve a problem. Example i lost my cook’n icon that allowed me to capture recipes right from the internet and in less than 6 hours I had my answer and I’m back to capturing recipes from the internet. I love this program.
Easy to Use and Constantly Expanding List of Features
by makinmyway68 - Mar 19, 2019
This is the king of recipe keepers! I love the way it can automatically sync across all devices meaning I can find a recipe on my Windows PC, store it to the cloud from inside Cook’n, access it on my iPhone while in the grocery store shopping for ingredients and later pull up the recipe on my iPad to use in the kitchen. Great for the recipe hoarder and cook alike.
Best cooking system ever ❤️❤️
by Miniature Horse Farm - Mar 18, 2019
I have been using Cookin Recipe program on my computer my iPad and my phone ever since cooking started many years ago. There is not a better cooking recipe organizer anywhere out there ever. I have traveled with them over the years to watch them develop their product into the best you could ever find. I cannot recommend this app that works with the computer, the iPad, and my iPhone enough❣️what can I say....I ❤️ IT.
Awesome Recipe Software!
by Charlieboy2011 - Mar 8, 2019
I have used the Cook’n recipe software for many years now. I absolutely love that I can easily capture and store any recipe, have them all in one place and easily access them on my mobile phone! It is so awesome to have all your recipes right at your fingertips while cooking as well as at the grocery store to obtain ingredients. They are often adding new features to make it more functional and easy to navigate. Thorough instructions are provided online, and tech-support is readily available. If you desire complete recipe organization and accessibility, I highly recommend the Cook’n app!
by Phillip Flynn - Feb 14, 2019
The customer support is excellent, and they always follow-up to make sure that you are satisfied. I've tried many other's product such as "The Living Cookbook, Master Cook, Big Oven and NYC, but this is by far the best cooking/recipe software available, and I highly recommend it to everyone
by David Rudolph - Feb 24, 2019
Excellent app. I'm also a former Living Cookbook user who has moved over to Cook'n, and it's great to have this more modern system with all recipes available in the cloud, and hence accessible on any device. The app works great for what I care about, which is viewing my existing recipes, and occasionally making a minor edit.
Love this program!
by Pfaffgirl - Feb 15, 2019
I love being able to have my recipes with me wherever I go. Don’t have to take any with me when we go to Florida for the winter. They are all on my iPhone. Also it is easy to exchange recipes with others and to keep them organized. Highly recommend!!
Fabulous recipe organizer
by kruss4 - Feb 6, 2019
I have been using this program almost since the very beginning so have seen it come so very far. I actually don’t know what I would do without it. Not only do I have all my favorite recipes that I’ve actually made (and now can easily edit and share), But now instead of having folders, binders and drawers full of recipes that I’ve torn out of magazines, I have them easily organized in this fabulous app. And one of the other really cool features is if you are a premium member, their support staff is the best of any program I’ve ever used. I always get personal responses to emails that I send asking how to do something no matter how complicated I think it is. I can’t say enough about this and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to collect recipes. With the new capture feature it couldn’t be easier to pull things from magazines, Blogs and other online sources.
Wonderful program!
by gebber920 - Feb 4, 2019
I’ve had this program since the “dark ages” when it came on a CD. They were very helpful when I switched to a Mac and needed to know how to transfer all my information....or any other time I’ve had a question. It took a while in the beginning to enter all of my own recipes, but it was so worth it. I’m not sure what I would do without it. I pay a monthly fee so I can use the sync feature which I think is my favorite feature. We have a vacation home where we often spend weekends and it was always a pain to pull out recipe cards to take there and then re-file when we get home. I just pull out my iPad or phone to get a recipe! Or, if I’m in the grocery store and think of something I want to make but can’t remember the ingredients I just pull out my phone! I’m excited that my good friend recently got the app and we are now Cook’n friends so we can share recipes!
This is awesome
by Us814 - Jan 24, 2019
I love this app! And the
YouTube videos narrated by Dan are super-informative. Even I can cook with this kind of help!
Fantastic recipe app
by TrailM00se - Jan 1, 2019
Cook’n makes it really easy to
capture recipes from internet web sites and organize them in personal cookbooks. I also like the
scanning feature, which can be used to capture recipes from file cards and other printed recipes to share the old family recipes. There is a subscription fee for some of the features, and updates, but the cost is reasonable and updated and features come regularly.
Always making it even better!
by Neatnik 7 - Jan 18, 2019
I have had the Cook’n software from its early stages! It is the easiest recipe software I have ever found. And they keep improving it, making it easier and more responsive. The latest update where you can
scan or photo a recipe then cut and paste it in is wonderful! Support is outstanding! if you have a question or a problem they answer within 24 hours. I highly recommend Cook’n.
Makes my Cooking easier
by jfpjules - Jan 26, 2019
I have been using Cook’n for years. I stopped for almost a year when they went to the subscription plan but found I couldn’t live without it. I can search for recipes, capture them, put them exactly where I want them and pull them up whenever I need them...including in the grocery store! I keep special menus like Thanksgiving so every year I have my basic menu at my finger tips. At potlucks, when someone says “I just have to get your recipe!”, I pull out my phone,
pull up the recipe and share right then. Just when I think there couldn’t possibly be another thing to add to this program, they add on another function that I love.
My second time around...
by weekend-golfer - Jan 11, 2019
This is my second time using Cook’n, let’s just say the first time wasn’t pretty. I am so glad to be able to recommend this app. They have really made some great additions to the software. A couple of features that I use and love are the
easy capture feature that lets me pull recipes off of the Internet and get them into my cookbooks. Also great is the
scan options that let you take a picture of a recipe that has been printed or even hand written and get it into your cookbooks with minimal effort. I struggled for a while trying to figure out how to sort recipes so they would be easy to find (I think I might have too many!). Using the
Category option lets me sort and find recipes based on a number of options. Very helpful. So if you are looking for a cooking app, this is the ONE for you
Great App and great support
by Chhb - Jan 1, 2019
I have had the app and desktop software for many years. There was a time where I didn’t pay the monthly fee but I finally decided to bite the bullet and subscribe, at first just for a month, as support people suggested to get my app updated, but I have now had it for a couple of years. It is a wonderful program, well maintained, with great technical support.
Best cooking app ever!
by ddutton78 - Dec 9, 2018
Very simply put, this app is every other recipe app combined into one. No more limitations on recipes. I love it!
The best!
by My2kids72 - Dec 14, 2018
I have had this app since it came out. I love it! I have my recipes wherever I go. It syncs with my laptop and desktop computers! Never have I seen anything that can compete with this!
Great software
by swboutique - Dec 27, 2018
As an owner of a Bakery for 5 years one of the best gifts I ever received was Cook’n. My daughter surprised me at Christmas one year with an app to keep all my recipes in one place and to help me better organize. Little did I know what a gift this would be. It is so much more than storage! I am able to create cookbooks to include all the recipes I want to keep. I can scan them, embed other recipes in them, move them to other cookbooks...I can also create cookbooks for my family that I can print or have professionally printed. I can capture recipes from the internet and direct them right into the cookbook I want. I use Cook’n almost daily for my Bakery and for whipping up dinner. I love that it shows me recipes I recently viewed, recipes recently added or most viewed recipes, but perhaps my favorite feature of all is the amazing tech support. Technology is not my strongest suit. No worries with this app—if I can’t figure it out there is a support page that has all the common questions and if that doesn’t help I can send an email and usually within 24 hours I have the answer I needed. Thanks Cook’n for creating such a useful tool for me.
Love my Cook'n
by Kasey1918 - Dec 6, 2018
I’ve been using the PC version for a long time, and began using the app on my iPad/iPhone as soon as it came out. Everything syncs on all my devices, which is important to me. I have printed my cookbooks and if I want I can use the books or my iPad. If you need it, support is excellent, and has been since I began using Cook’n. My latest project is to put my mother’s recipes in a cookbook. It is time consuming but will be worth it for our family, as she was a wonderful cook who had the best recipes. As you can read, I really do love my Cook’n!
Best Recipe App Ever
by Victor L. Carver - Dec 15, 2018
I have been a Cook'n member since the 80's and it is the best of the best, bar none. I have over 80,000 recipes currently in my Cook'n program. I can post my recipes to my Facebook account as well as my Pinterest account. I can easily email my recipes to family and friends as well. One can create a week meal planner and make a shopping list. The sky is the limit. Check it out and get Cook'n for a Christmas gift. Oh, by the way, once you have Cook'n on your computer, you can access all your recipes on either your iPhone, iPad as well as your Android.
Cook’n review
by Myrrie Bloxham - Dec 9, 2018
I Love the search on this app. It has helped me find many of my own and my mom's recipes that the paper recipe was misplaced or impossible to read. Also i have the new gadgets, and this helps me discover the best new methods for my baked beans! How about in the instant pot!
Love this app!
by tamg15 - Nov 21, 2018
Was looking for an easy way to pull all of my Pinterest recipes without downloading and printing each one individually. Going into the digital age, I eliminated all of my recipe books and card boxes for Pinterest and realized I had nothing to pass down to my kids. This made it easy to bring them all together and print my own cookbook!
Cook'n App
by JJ's Kitchen - Nov 25, 2018
I just renewed my Cook'n app! Really like the changes they have made! Still looking around it but so far it is great!

Love Cook’n Recipe Organizer
by voluable - Nov 3, 2018
I have used it for more than 15 years. It has improved consistently; I love it.
Cook’n review
by mdhnana1 - Nov 17, 2018
I have had Cook’n for years now. I use it literally every day. I love being able to be at the store, at the spur of the moment decide I want to make something, open a recipe & buy what I need. Today I was buying the turkey for Thanksgiving and decided I would buy things I need to begin Christmas cookies after Thanksgiving. All I had to do was opening the Cook’n app & I was set. Last week I had a small problem with Cook’n on my Mac. I emailed support, tried what they said & it still wouldn’t work. Matthew contacted me, did a remote access, & got it working. He worked diligently to make sure I was completely happy & everything was working correctly. I was so thrilled when he got it working correctly. This time of year is especially busy for everyone & my Cook’n is my #1 help. Thanks to Matthew for making my Thanksgiving preparations a breeze.
Cookin App - Great
by Skip W99 - Oct 1, 2018
This is a great app for organizing your old recipes on slips of paper, cards, napkins, etc. Also does a good job capturing recipes off an internet search. Try it and you will be impressed.
Love it!!!
by Gardenia13 - Oct 2, 2018
This app is such a great way to collect, organize, and share recipes. And to top it off, it’s FUN!!!
I love this app
by Chictah - Oct 4, 2018
I have used Cook’n for years just to have a place to keep all my favorite recipes. With the new app I am finding and capturing tons of new recipes that I can hardly wait to try. And I love having the app on my phone and my iPad so when I’m shopping I can make a quick check for ingredients I might need if I think of a recipe I want to make.
Recipes at my fingertips
by Lindsio - Oct 12, 2018
I love this app. I love having access to all my recipes, no matter where I am. I love that when friends ask for recipes, it’s as simple as sending a text. No more digging through stained recipe cards or dozens of cookbooks!
Blown away by search optimization!
by tminer98 - Oct 13, 2018
It seems like I always have a hard time finding the perfect recipe using google. I am blown away by Cook’n’s ability to find EXACTLY what I’m looking for. Low sugar carrot cake? Google gives you a wild goose chase. Cook’n gave multiple options of what I was looking for. That delicious pancake recipe with the secret ingredient of white vinegar to make it taste like I used buttermilk? I typed in “vinegar pancakes” and hit search and it found the recipe instantly, even though that’s not the name of the pancakes! I’m excited to explore all the cool different features!
Best recipe app ever
by Bunt43 - Sep 18, 2018
It does it all! Best recipe program ever. After years of trying computer recipe application/programs this one finally got it right. It does everything. Support is the best!!
Great recipes app
by Sue&Tim - Sep 12, 2018
Keeps me organized and also lets me take my recipes with me wherever I travel! I am a fan!
Great App
by IamJUJULee - Sep 5, 2018
So easy to add recipes. Other apps seemed good at first but I always ran up against some limitations I couldn't live with.
Love this app
by DJFalzarano - Sep 3, 2018
I use the cookbook program on my Mac and sync it to the app. My cookbook is always available for easy lookup or sharing. Also look up a recipe in the grocery store and you have the ingredients list right there.
Excellent
by Bonmarche87 - Sep 1, 2018
The best recipe collector I've ever used! You can save recipes from all over the internet plus enter your own. The features are amazing. You can email recipes to your friends, calculate nutritional values, make weekly meal plans, create cookbooks, and so much more.
Tech support is fabulous. They get back to you in a very short time and within a day or two he have the problem fixed. They're always thinking of new ways to use the app to supply the user the ultimate experience in recipe collection.
I am extremely pleased to have discovered Cook’n. Been looking for an electronic method of keeping recipes for a while, and this is so much more than that. The capture feature is amazing! So I have now signed up for the paid Standard Subscription … and I’m good to go! :) I am spreading the word on how good this is. I am telling people they get one free month. That’s long enough to know if it works for them or not.
Carolyn Markham
I absolutely love this program and don’t know what I would do without it. I had so many cookbooks, but no time to search through them to look for new recipes. Since I got Cook’n I’ve gone through almost all of them and put recipes that I think I might like to try into Cook’n. The cookbooks then went to Good Will. Except for the Betty Crocker Cookbook and the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook I got when I was first married 48 years ago. I felt like I was in a rut making the same things over and over again. Now I will often try a couple of new recipes in a week. My husband loves that. Tonight I made Kraft’s Layered Fiesta Casserole. It was a real hit. I made a few changes which I noted in the recipe for the next time I make it. I have also arranged all of my recipes into Cookbooks for “Appetizers”, “Asian”, “Beverages”. “Breads” , etc. This way I don’t have to search every Cookbook, but can look in a specific cookbook for what I want to make. For example, tonight I wanted to make Mexican so I went to my cookbook named Tex-MeX and then to the chapter for Beef Casseroles. I love the way Cook’n can be personalized this way.
Pat Williams
I purchased this program because I wanted to consolidate all the recipes that I have accumulated over the years into one, convenient place and hopefully at some point be able to print out a recipe book to give to my kids and grandkids. Cook'n has given me the capability of doing just that. In addition, I have my recipes on my mobile phone which helps me when grocery shopping. I recently purchased an android tablet for the express purpose of loading the Cook'n app and using it on my kitchen counter. The apps are working very well and I'm loving the convenience of having my recipes wherever I need them. Before purchasing I looked at other recipe programs currently available and found Cook'n to be the most innovative and most suited to my needs. Thanks for all your hard work DVO and keep up the good work!
Judy Price
I received Cook'n when I ordered my Sun Oven. Up till then I have never had a recipe organizer. This is a slick little program. It is so easy to use. I've made my own cookbook, uploaded recipes from their internet capture (amazing feature!!), and entered my own recipes. This organizer is very user friendly, and I love it.
Amazon User, Cook'n
This was recommended to me by a friend, and I love it. It'll be a great way to print a family cookbook, not to mention help with my husband's goal of getting away from eating out so much. The program was super easy to use, and it's full of features. Definitely going to put it to lots of good use.
Lana
I tried out the newest version of Cook'n and within a couple days, I enjoyed it so much, I had no problems upgrading. I've had contact with tech support on many questions and they have been very friendly and extremely helpful. I am a computer techy nerd and Love the challenge of designing database programs. I've often wished for a program, I didn't have to design, that did all the things I wanted in organization and searching recipes.
Ann Jones
Awesome program I have tried several recipe organizers but they all lacked certain features that Cook'n has built into it.
Renee Rosenzweig
We use the program on our computer, IPAD, and android cell phone. We are learning every day more about the program and enjoy it immensely. We spend 1/2 of the year in Arizona and 1/2 of the year in Iowa and don't have to take the recipe box with us anymore!!! My wife loves it.
Amazon User Colthoff
My wife is a great cook & baker. She also is a cookbook collector. Since she has become visually impaired, it has been my job to find the right cookbook from her description, turn to the proper page that she has memorized, and read the ingredients to her. This software has saved the day. I put her favorite recipes into it, and can share them via email, or connected through her iPad where she can expand the size of the screen. Now she can look at her own recipes, or have me add new ones for her.
David Quiel
It is a great way to put all of my oft used recipes and clippings of recipes I'd like to try all in one place. I have been keeping a food log and this has been a great tool to help me find new and more healthy recipes, make some of my older recipes more healthy and also calculate the nutritional content of my recipes and plan my menus. I think it is a tool I will continue to use, and it's not just the latest "good idea".
Amazon User Klasko
Let me introduce you to some fantastic software that will help you organize those precious recipes–Cook’n Recipe Organizer 11. I had an old version of this once on my computer, and I was quite impressed. Since then, I have upgraded, and it was so nice to have this software again. And it is certainly an even better program (how can you improve perfection?) that I remember.
I use a meal subscription service, and I hate the fact that I print recipe, and I never see it again after that week! I plan to scan my favorites so I will always have these! And my pinterest recipes are such a mess–this software can finally get this organized. Maybe I’ll even share some recipes on my blog with this software! This software has an amazing reputation, and I am quite pleased to discover the Cook’n Cloud so I can have access to my recipes anywhere! I love being able to plan on-the-go!
Ruth Hill
I appreciate knowing that DVO will always respond to customer requests. When it comes to support, you are one of the best companies I’ve ever worked with. Thanks again.
Laurie Urquiaga
Just wanted to say "thank you" for Cook'n. My diabetes has taken a drastic turn for the worst, and as a result, my doctor has put me on a very restrictive low carb regimen. I'd not used the feature before, but I love the way Cook'n can analyze the nutrition for each of my recipes.
Linda Lambert
Initially, I purchased it because it can store recipes in any language. Then I found out it has many more features than I expected.
I tested quite a few recipe organizers but this is the best. I'm sure you will love it as much as I do!
Argyrios Argyropoulos
The various ways of building a cookbook are unsurpassed in both sophistication and very logical use. The .doc and/or .txt recipes are a cinch to get over into Cook'n and into a sensible organization - which is also searchable a number of ways! Searching and entering a recipe from the internet is a basic joy to work with - how many recipes for 'beef and barley soup' recipes do we really need anyhow....entering them all will require a much larger hard drive - but not so very much time! It's quick to enter them - 'capture' them.
William Clemens
I am in love with this recipe organizer. I love that I can consolidate all my recipes to one place. I love, love, love that I can create menu planners. Usually when looking for weekly recipes, I am on a few websites plus going through recipe cards. I write down our weekly menu only to forget where the recipe is located. This helps with that plus there is a live feed of recipes so you can always add to your collection.
Shelia Slusher
I really needed a program that organizes and stores my recipes for me, because I'm terrible at doing such things properly if left to my own devices. And this product does just what I need!
Most of the recipes I use or want to try are from various websites, and most are not formatted properly to get automatically added, but I don't mind having to manually copy and paste. (For the ingredients, I just paste it all in to the "Snag-It! Automatic Ingredient Entry")
And the home page that pops up is fabulous, it shows a bunch of different recipes from different sites, and all I have to do is click them to get the recipe. I've picked up quite a few I'd like to give a try!
Mostly I needed a place to keep all my recipes for easy access, and Cook'n is the perfect place for that.
Jackie Fitzmaurice
I was a little intimidated when I first installed and opened up this program - there are a LOT of features. However, the program prompts you to watch the introductory video while it installs, so I did - the video is a great how-to-get-started tutorial and will get you using the program right away. I was able to successfully start adding recipes from the Live Recipe Feed and from my Pinterest boards within minutes.
Features I particularly love: the ability to instantly adjust the recipes for larger or smaller groups; being able to pull up the nutritional information on any recipe (including the ones I add manually); being able to save all the neat recipes I've found on Pinterest and Facebook and various blogs all in one place.
Tara Carlson
I could not be happier with the intuitive features, good design, and ease of just doing the simple things, let alone the more advanced internet interfacing. I want to thank DVO Enterprises for their vision - cookbook software that FINALLY delivers - hands down.
R. Johnson
The Cook'n Recipe Organizer makes my life so much easier! Being able to capture recipes right from my favorite sites, and automatically syncing with Pinterest to store recipes that I've pinned, makes sure that I always have new recipes and ideas to work with.
It's user-friendly interface makes finding recipes a breeze, and I love that you can generate shopping lists and nutritional values straight from the program.
I would say this is definitely a must-have for any mom!
Jamie Knupp
I am a food blogger, and I'm always saving recipes in my favorites or bookmarked on phone and even written down. This organizer was a god send. Now, I just open my Cook'n and there they all are! A great help for the disorganized person.

I was given the opportunity to try this product, and I will tell you I absolutely love it!!! The tools that are available are wonderful, pinterest capture, snip it from blogs and snag it from word are just some of the wonderful features. I also love that it has a menu planner, grocery list generator and nutritional calculator. Can not recommend this highly enough. It is a product once you try, you will always use.
Jennifer Bay
I have tried many other software cookbooks in the past and this is the best I have every used. The ease of use and the constant updates to keep up with changing technology makes it the one to own. The support for the product is 5 stars above any other. Now you can put it on your tablet, capture recipes from the internet and save to the cloud and sync everything. Wonderful.
Beverly Costinew
It is absolutely awesome. I would give it a 10 out of 10 stars. I love it. I now have an ipad just for the kitchen. Hubby bought me iPad Air for Christmas so I am keeping my iPad 3 for the kitchen. I love having the recipe to read instead of a printout I throw away. Bought my daughter one too. She thinks it is amazing too. Thanks for this amazing program. Love Love Love it.
Karen Painter
I have been using Cook'n since at least version 8. Dan listens to problems and fixed them. The latest version is the FASTEST and syncs to cloud!! The refined interface is what it could have been all along. The nutritional analysis feature is better. I started using the templates too. Originally I thought they were more of a gimmick but then I started using the split template. Shows the ingredients popped out next to the recipe.
Fast, efficient, nice to use now and it is a small business. Nice job DVO!

Two summers ago my little town had a fire, I was able to sleep comfortably because I had all my scrapbooks and pictures backed up to 3 different places. Last summer my town had a flood...again a good nights sleep, then I realized I didn't have 30 years of collecting recipes backed up. I spent weeks scanning recipes, then I got my copy of Cook'n. I was able to move all my scanned recipes right in the Cook'n cloud. Now I have all my recipes backed up and I can access them anywhere and share them with my friends and family. Thanks Cook'n team!
Holly
I am one of those people that LOVES to cook and I LOVE recipes. This is a fantastic solution for me!! The fact that I can put all of my recipes into one database that can travel with me is amazing! There have been many times that I have wished I had a recipe when I have been traveling or at a friend's house and wanted to cook. I also like to collect recipes from the internet but don't want the clutter of printing (and usually losing) recipes online. Now I have a cookbook specifically for those recipes. This is flat-out amazing now that my ipad and iphone can sync up.
Nicole Shapiro
I have been a Cook'n user for a number of years now. Prior to purchasing the Cook'n program, I had purchased several others looking for one that would suit my needs. None of them had the features for which I was searching. Since purchasing Cook'n I have never had reason to look elsewhere.
Joan Naumann
I have used this software for years. It as evolved from a decent cookbook software package to a magnificent cookbook package. The new printing functions are awesome and the recipe capturing modules have become nearly perfect allowing the user to capture recipes from almost any internet site or any electronic medium. The cloud sharing functions work well allowing you to share your recipe books with anyone you share your account with. You can truly make a family recipe book by sharing a cloud account with all your family. New recipes and changes show up within minutes of someone changing or adding something. It is truly "The last cookbook you will ever need".
Neal Grossen
I have been using Cook'n, in various versions, for about 7 years. I love love love it!! Each upgrade is so right on with what is happening, that is the app for your phone, or iPad, syncing with Pinterest all your recipes. It is awesome. There have been a few occasions where, due to my lack of tech ability, I have had to contact the support at Cook'n. They are wonderful and will walk you through whatever is the problem. I recently got a MAC and went from my PC to MAC and all my recipes transferred with no probem.
I can make menus, find nutritional values, share recipes, create different cookbooks (for instance 'Christmas', etc) and they are all organized. I couldn't manage without Cook'n. I use it at least every day.
Donna Howard
I've been with Cook'n at least 3 years....The last year has been waiting for the cloud- GOT THAT! then as I was trying to get my large database downloaded and synced- they came out with Cookn' 11......I was so surprised. How could they do all this and let me see it all on my phone/ipad and multiple computers? I even can share with ALL my friends. I have over 30,000 recipes and I can find them easily....no matter what device. Thanks Dan and his helpers- if you get lost- they put you back on track.... If you're not sure to buy or not to buy- Push the "Put in shopping cart" button- not only is it guaranteed - there are many of us out there that will help you get started!
Jorita Padfield
I've had Cook'n software since the beginning and I have tried every other one out there. Cook'n is the best and by far superior to all others. I recently lost all cooking files with a mac crash. Every thing was gone. I contacted DVO support and in about 2 days they had me up and running with the software and all my cook books within 1 hour. Most of that time was the re download of all the cook books from the cloud account. Now why some say why did it take 2 days. I say I'm not the only one that owns the software. When all is said and done I've never in all the years of owning cook'n had a bad experience with Support. This software is far better then any out there. Software is the best and that goes along with the support team they have.
Marc Patri
I'm actually a computer programmer/database analyst and I am VERY impressed with this program. Its versatility in downloading recipes from various sites and making conversions for user selected number of servings is fantastic. Very user friendly. Love the fact that I can pull in so many recipes from sites other than that belonging to the company selling the software. That saves so much money while opening the door for so many more recipes.
Print options exist for various size index cards, half page, full page, pictures Y/N, Nutrition info, etc. Menu selections, shopping lists, search criteria, menu organization are all provided. This programmer has thought of so many things that I'm truly impressed. This is not just a very good recipe program -- it is a good example of how all programmers should want to code for their customers. I'm truly impressed!!!
Joseph Robertson
Absolutely wonderful program!! I can now access my Cook'n cookbooks from my iPhone and my tablet!!! Very user friendly and the Customer Supports is very, very good. Thanks for a wonderful program!!
Jan Bramblett
I think ability to import entire cookbooks into my files was what helped me decide to try it. I get lots of emails with recipes from Southern Living, Taste of Home, etc... Now if I see one I want on an email I search for it through my Cook'n program on the internet, find it, push "Capture" then "Save" and Voila! I have a new entry.
The best thing now is the new Cook'n Cloud. I have had computer crashes before and would hate to lose all of my recipes. Now they are in the cloud so if I change computers or it dies I just have to download the data to my new device. I don't know where the cloud is but I love it!!
Faye Maroon
Love the ease of inputting your own recipes!! I have loads of folders on my computer with years of recipes, so I have been inputting these recipes in Cook'n. I could not believe how many recipes I can input in just minutes!! It's so much fun when I know I can print off cookbooks for my children when I am finished!!
Also, I am a fan of Rachael Ray!! She has provided me with lots of recipes (and short-cuts!!)that my husband just loves and believes I am working so hard to prepare them!! All I have to do is put in the title...and it takes me right to the recipe on the internet and inputs it into the Cook'n software!! Just that simple!!!
This program is a time-saver, fun, keeps my recipes organized for me, allows printing a recipe, and when I am done, printing my own recipe book for my family!!! You get this all with GREAT, QUICK support if you need them!!
Also...love the new Cloud feature!!!
Peggy Simmons
So, So happy with this product. As a Mac user, when I first bought Cook'n, the company was just adding Mac to their user group. SUPPORT has been EXCELLENT!! They have guided me through all the initial glitches of the Mac profile, and now with the CLOUD, support has been super in getting my extended family - covering 5 states and a mix of PC's and Mac's - all working together to create a family cookbook source.
I strongly recommend Cook'n for those of you who are looking for an easy to use and easy to share recipe experience.
Elizabeth Bayuk
I am completely happy with this software. It is organized and easy to use. I have been using for the past several years and have used it to print my own cookbook and to keep track of family recipes.
The software support has always solved any problem that I may have come upon quickly and efficiently. I love it so much that I purchased copies for my children
Beth Zanis
This makes finding recipes so much easier. I like how you can search for recipes by typing in what ingredients you have as well as adjusting the number of servings. Downloading from the Internet is a snap!
Jean Kearns
Give Cook'n a try and I know you will be delighted with this recipe software. Over the years I have spent so much time hunting specific recipes. Drawers and boxes full of favorite recipes scribbled on bits of paper quickly became organized with Cook'n.
I have enjoyed this program for a number of years and it just keeps getting better.
The technical support is great: ask a question and get an answer quickly. Customer satisfaction seems to be so important to this company.
I honestly feel like part of a big cooking family. Join the cooking club and receive recipes, tips, and other information. Through video, the developer invites you into his kitchen to share some of his favorite recipes.
Marie Salmon
I really like this software, I have used it for quite some time, more than a year, it may not be perfect, occasionally it crashes, but most software does that at some point or other.
I would suggest you stop reading and wondering if you should buy it or not and go and buy it.
You can't lose, if you don't like it, just email and let them know, they have a 200% return policy, and they will also buy you any other cooking software of your choice!
Tobius Holmes
I have been using Cook'n for several years and have upgraded to the latest version as they are released. Cook'n had been working fine and all of a sudden I could not access my recipes in Cook'n. The support group was very good in working with me to resolve the problem and get me going again.
Dan and his team care about their customers and will do what it takes to solve the problem. Thanks.
R. Jackson
This is the best cooking program that I have ever used. Importing recipes has never been easier. I couldn't' be happier.
Madonna Kolb
I am SO impressed with this product. I love clipping and trying new recipes and this recipe organizer is so easy to use.
The Internet Capture feature is just the best.
Just do a search from the Cook'n page, locate the recipe you want, and then click capture.
Cook'n copies the recipe into your designated cookbook/chapter/category in a beautiful color design with photos added.
The other wonderful thing about this product is the customer service is excellent.
Definitely recommend this product.
Lynete Braun
I love to save and share recipes. After 20 years of loose paper recipes and cards in a file, I discovered Cook'n.
I have transferred my existing recipes to my online cookbook-saved and sorted for easy retrieval!
The entry is clear and easy to do-very user friendly.
I can share a recipe with a friend with a click of a button instead of tediously coping it for her.
I have our family recipes preserved forever! One of my favorite features is the online search and capture feature.
I can search for a recipe online from within the program and with one click, I can transfer that online recipe to my cookbook with pictures and all!
The program will also increase serving sizes and give me nutritional information! Amazing! I would highly recommend this program to cooks of any age!
Jan
I love it - and the people behind it. First, the software is awesome. It is so simple to use! You can purchase cookbooks or create your own with your own recipes or ones you download. You can use different layouts, or save pictures of the recipes. So easy to organize any way you want. (Cooking can be a big enough chore without being able to find the recipe you're looking for.)
Secondly, in the rare event of needing to contact anyone for support, they are prompt and get back to you fast. These people are as friendly as you could hope for and go out of their way to assist any way you ask. I have had Cook'n for over 5 years, and only recently have I had any kind of issue - and overnight I received the answers I needed to get back up and going again... Can't give them high enough marks. - If you're not as happy as I am, just tell them you want your money back - they'll do that too!!
Karen Sharkey
I am totally pleased with Cook'n after having 8.2.
Had a few questions and contacted technical service.
They were able to set me on the right path.
It was so easy and took care of my problems and concerns.
Recommend this to all who would like to salvage and preserve family heirloom recipes, favorite recipes and what a great list of cookbooks to download at great prices.
newgardener
So easy to add recipes. Both my own and off the Internet. I love the ease of finding a recipe on my laptop because digging through a box was a pain!
Highly recommend this software!
Mustaineangel
This is a program that I have been looking for. I have used several other cookbook software programs & this one has everything I need.
James Wadford
If anyone is interested in a Cooking/Recipe program I can highly recommend Cook'n.
You can link it to your smart phone and have your shopping list on hand.
We've used it in the past but, the current version is really simple to use and a lot more flexible than the older versions.
It just keeps getting better. I can also honestly say that the tech support is tremendous.
These guys have helped me out in a pinch more than one time.
John & Celeste LeBlancs
I have had a hard drive crash and bought a new computer. Customer service has been great. They have sent me a new download link within 24 hours both times.
I have had this software for a few years, I started with Version 8.
I think it's great, if you want to capture recipes off blogs you can copy and paste and even add the picture.
I copy lots of recipes off facebook, and add it to my facebook cookbook.
It is so wonderful! ...Cook'n you're the BEST!!!
Mary K
I really love this product! I've been meaning to type up the family recipes for ages and then I discovered this! It's such a blessing and so incredibly easy to keep track & find new recipes.
Chanel
I loved this product before - trying is believing! But with this great customer service they are awesome! Just to let anyone know that if you are not great with computers - either am I. This product is so easy to use and I love that I can add recipes off the internet or even my own family favorites. It will also change the recipe for you according to how many people you are serving. The benefits of this product go on and on....
Denise G
I've used Cook'n for well over 10 years and it is a fantastic program. I used it to make a cookbook for our family reunion last summer and I was able to use features that I couldn't have used if I had had an online cookbook publisher do it for me. I'm not the most advanced computer user but can usually get things done that need to be done but whenever I have had a problem with this program, (and it has always been my problem, not the program's problem), I have gotten excellent, quick help from customer service and they never make me feel incompetent! Over the years I have probably had 6-8 encounters with customer service and they have always been efficient and solved the problem quickly. I have had other cooking programs and they were either so difficult to use or could not do what I wanted, that I gave up using them within a short period of time. That is not the case with this program. I use it almost everyday and couldn't be happier.
Casam
What a wonderful program. Good support when you have questions, and they keep improving it! I still am learning, but have my recipes all in one place! Thank you so much!
Marvel
I have been using an archaic program from the early 90's because I can't find a new one that is as easy and contains all the features I like. My husband bought me Cook'n for a Christmas gift and I was afraid I would never use it. I was wrong. It downloaded with no problem, came with a quick video of all of its features and I was entering my recipes and organizing them the way I like in no time. My other program was so old that this new program couldn't automatically convert the recipes, but most newer programs will convert and save all the entering time. However, if you do have to re-enter, this program is quick and flexible. I really like the "capture" feature. I can go online and find 4 or 5 versions of a recipe that I want to try, "capture" them, which automatically enters them into the program, then compare, try and save the one I like the best. When I've had a question and need customer service, they have been quick to respond and eager to help. They seem to value having satisfied customers and I've been very happy with the service I've received.
Kathie
I'm a happy Cook'n customer...particularly want to praise their quick and expert customer service. I have had questions on two occasions and each time I received a response within 24 hours which answered my need. This is a company that cares about the customer base and works hard to continually upgrade and improve their product.
Nancy, W.
This has been a time saver in that I no longer have to thumb through books, clippings and recipe cards to find what I am looking for.
It has also freed up needed space since I no longer have to store recipe cards and clippings of things I want to try.
Ordered this in December and initially had some issues with the software (memory leaks). The DVO team was responsive and worked hard to fix the issues I was experiencing. They were great and getting emails from Dan the company president checking in and letting me know that they were working on the problem I was having was great. Customer service with a personal touch is alive and well at DVO! Thanks guys!
Barri
Through the years I had tried several electronic cook books. This one tops all of them by far. It is fun, simple to learn and simple to use, especially with the video instructions available online. The few times I did not understand how to download something, the company supplied all the information needed. I always received a prompt response the few times I needed extra help. "WARNING" If you take the time to learn how to capture recipes from the web, you may become very addicted.
If anyone is unhappy with this product, don't just give up. Contact the company, you will not be disappointed with their service or their product when you are done.
It is a tool every home cook and chef should have. I believe it truly is the best!
E. Collado
We all know nothing is perfect for the needs of every person, especially food allergies like mine. I've already found important things the software doesn't do that I need it to. But it is still a powerful piece of software that meets most of my needs close to perfection.
And for the needs not met: every person on the staff and technical crew has been not only extremely helpful in training me to use it, but receptive to my wish list for their next upgrade.
That's so important because I have so many special dietary needs threatening my health (gluten free, cow-dairy free, refined sugar and artificial sugar free). I need a software program that can handle these vital aspects.
I'm not looking for just a simple organizer for recipes, but a source of recipes and, just as important, the products that meet these dietary needs. I've been busy filling this software with just that info for all my future recipe conversions. I'll definitely be staying with this software.
Aggie V.
I have tried a few other cookbook software programs but I feel this is the best out there... I have successfully created my own cookbook, captured recipes from major websites as well as blog sites and I have printed out my personal cookbook in many different formats/templates. I find it very easy to manually enter recipes as well and if you have particular brands you like you can easily add them to the ingredient and brand master list... This is the cooking software I have always wanted. I would not hesitate to purchase this software if you are looking to better organize your recipes.
Barbara Cooper
If you are looking for a "new" tool to have for the kitchen, pick this one. It has so many features and applications to pick from. You can import your favorite recipe from favorite chef into this product and save it to your own cookbook recipe file. You can write your own (family recipes) into it. Make sure you watch the video to get the most out of it. The available electronic cookbooks from their web-site are many and not too expensive. Already comes with a DVO cookbook with hundreds of recipes. Customer Service is fast to answer your questions and polite. You really need to think about this one.
"Texascook,"
Firstly, this is the first recipe software that I've had the pleasure to try. I'm a housewife and home user, not a pro user. But I LOVED it. Here's why:
*Better than Pinterest for collecting recipes from around the web. The capture feature snags them and saves them in my recipe box, letting me print them to recipe cards or add them to my shopping list and meal plans. This feature worked on an Italian site as well as English so language doesn't seem to be an issue.
*Gives me nutritional information for my recipes (very handy as I'm trying to drop a few pounds) and adjust recipes for different number of servings.
*Various cookbooks are available as in-app purchases that import the recipes directly into your recipe list.
*Most importantly, this software is super easy to learn/use and a snap to set up.
*One other cool thing I think is worth a mention is that mobile apps are coming soon (for iphone and ipad so far, I believe - hopefully others soon).
As a serial cookbook and recipe collector, this software has been just what I needed to keep my kitchen in order and help keep my favorite recipes all in one place. I'm sure we're going to be friends for many years to come. If you can get a copy of Cook'n for a fair price, I'd recommend it!
Rachel Romano
I have had recipe software in the past but they can't hold a candle to Cook'n. It is a dream program and ANY TIME I've ever had a problem a tech and/or Dan has spent as much time and effort as was needed to get me up and running again. (The problem usually was that my computer crashed due to a virus and not a problem with the Cook'n software!
I would be lost without it. I have created my own chapters using old family favorites as well as newly collected recipes that accumulates over time. I am really ADD and needed this to get organized and keep myself on track. My thanks and appreciation go to the Oaks for making life so much simpler by coming up with this software..
Paula B.
Once upon a time ago I went looking for a way to organize and keep all my recipes in one place instead of slips of paper that come up missing. I researched the internet and found Cook'n. I feel it is one of the best recipe software programs on the market.
I recently upgraded to the latest version of Cook'n. I ran into some difficulty and they proved their customer service is outstanding. Their response to my email and the remote repair of my situation to save what I thought was lost was exceptional.
The program is so user friendly to enter your treasured recipes handed down over the years or to capture new ones on the internet. It takes the work out of planning a weekly menu and creates a shopping list for you! I could go on and on but trust me, you'll love this program!!
Betty S.
One word describes this software - WOW! When I first heard about it, I have to admit I thought "why do I need another recipe organizer!" But - I was so wrong! It far exceeds my expectations, and I have just begun to scratch the surface of all the features. It is user friendly, but in the case one is unsure of how to use it - the videos are so well done and helpful. It is so much more than just another cookbook or organizer. One can manage menus, access nutritional content, create decorative recipe cards, adjust serving sizes, drag and drop features, capture and import recipes from off the internet, and so much more. It is well worth the time to watch the demonstration and see all that this software offers. If that is not enough, they offer a complete refund if not satisfied - in fact they go the extra mile and will purchase another software of your choice. There is no way to lose with this! Thank you Cook'n!
Mary K.
To be totally honest I just about love everything about my Cook’n program and I depend on it to design my meals, menus and shopping list every pay period. It truly helps save money and makes my life so much easier. Because of the program we have been able to stick to the monthly budget and not order out so much. I print out my menu and post it on the refrigerator which completely eliminates that “Oh no what am I going to cook?” panic that previously turned into frustration because I was tired and couldn’t think of something fast, easy and delicious to cook and that turned into my spending money I really couldn’t afford to spend by ordering out. So again I say thank you for this program.
Linda W.
I want to thank you for your help. I love the new version and so many of the new features. I plan on purchasing the plugin for transferring my recipes from Master Cook.... I love all of the new cook books that have come out lately. Thank you for a great program.
Sharon
Cook'n is the most efficient recipe software I have found, online or in-store. There are so many options when you are loading your own recipes into the system. Another feature that made me very happy was the ability to add and delete not only ingredients, but Brands as well. It is so customizable! I gave this product 5 stars, not because it is perfect, as nothing or anyone in this world is, but because it is so very user-friendly with so many options, and the customer service is superb!
Juanita
[Cook'n] is lightning fast, whether it be to load a recipe, or change the ingredients. Best of all the program loads within seconds. For a program this massive that's not something that's easy to do. If you are looking for a cooking program, this is the one to have... You can also add thousands of recipes by buying additional cookbooks and a very reasonable price. I really like this program and I feel confident you will too.
James
This Software is GREAT. Easy to use! Video instructions are available if you need help. And you can email tech support for anykind of assistance. I use this on my PC laptop and my MacBook. I can share a recipe with my sister and she can import it right in to her Cook'n. The best thing is at Thanksgiving... I can plan the whole menu and print my grocery list. Can't wait for the IPAD App to be released.
KPW
Just want to tell you how very satisfied I am with your product, Cookn' and your customer support. I have been using the Cookn' software since February. I switched from using Master Cook - did not like their Mac version. Cookn' was very easy to install on my Mac and did everything it said it would do...Thanks again from One Really Satisfied Customer
Tom
About 8 years ago my husband was looking for a program to help me learn to cook. He found Cook'n and bought it for me. I had brain surgery after becoming very ill and as a result, this meant I had to have a craniodomy and the recovery was slow. I had to learn to shop and cook again. He would put this program on and it would show how to create my grocery list and it would have videos of how to prepare dishes.
He would sit my laptop on my window shelf above the sink and I was able to figure out how to once again cook. I have been using this program and I feel without the excellant videos and all of this companies unwavering support, I would not have been as successful in learning to cook again. I have learned to use the meal planning menus and grocery list and I have been able to keep my pantry stocked and more importantly rotating properly with this AMAZING product.
I have worked with DVo's support department and they too have been nothing but patient and helpful in making certain that all my request are resolved and that I am using their product to its full potential. I am currently working on entering all of my husband's parent's recipes and cann't wait to have them published in a cookbook for our future generations! I LOVE COOK'N and if you try it, you will too! THANK YOU each and every DVO employee for a FANTASTIC product!
Jacque
This software is fantastic! I work full time, plus I am a wife and a mother. Before Cook'n figuring out "What's for dinner?" was borderline tramatic. Now that I have Cook'n I just pick a meal from my cookbook and drag and drop it into the menu plan for the week. Then with a click I can generate a shopping list. I check off the items that I already have and they aren't included in the shopping list.
Making my cookbook was a breeze, also. Most recipes online I could easily capture into my cookbook with one click. Other recipes that I had to input manually only took a few minutes, because of Cook'n's quick drop down menus for adding ingredients. I don't have a smart phone or an i pad to send the recipes to, so I just print the ones I don't already have in my card file. I print them to a 3 x 5 size and then I cut them out and tape them to a index card, it takes just a few seconds.
Thanks Cook'n creators and staff! Totally cool product!
Besty H
I have used the last two versions of Cook'n, and I am so excited about the capture feature that Cook'n has. It is simple to use, and the best part of Cook'n is the outstanding support. I have printed recipe books from my favorite recipes for shower gifts, wedding gifts, and I have found the email updates very informative! I enjoy cooking and saving family recipes, and this, in my opinion, is the best software on the market. I did a great deal of research a couple years ago before purchasing cook'n, and I didn't hesitate when the latest version of Cook'n came on the market.
Barbara P
I bought Cook'n to use the nutrition feature as an aid to creating low carb recipes. All of the the software's features work well and the "capture" feature, which allows you to get recipes from the internet and import them into Cook'n with one click, is outstanding. Cook'n is easy to use and it makes working with recipes and menus a breeze.
Vaughn
I have been using Cook'n for more than 15 years. Each upgrade makes it easier and easier. I have given all of our children the program. That way they always have their family recipes close at hand. The latest version allows them to have their own cookbook on the program which can be exported to each other as we share. I could go on and on about all the features of the program. One I like the best is the ability to change the serving size of any recipe. A great feature when you are having a large group to dinner and your recipe is only for 2 people.
Muriel M
I would like to say that I am truly happy with this program. So much so that I need to purchase two more for gifts for my daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.
Deb W
Cook'n Recipe Organizer is the only software that you would ever need because the possibilities are endless. Create a cookbook complete with a title page, table of contents, and index. On a diet or trying to lead a healthier lifestyle? Let Cook'n Recipe Organizer be your personal home nutritionist where you can analyze the nutritional elements of recipes and menus and view standard nutritional labels.
Bringing Up Hopkins blog
Over the years I have tried many recipe different software programs but by far Cook'n Recipe Organizer is among one of the best I have tried out. I love the search feature and I was able to capture off of one of my favourite recipes sites, allrecipes.com, with ease and now I have it in my software to access all the time.
It's Just My Life blog
Thanks sooooo much...love the product and the support. I just had my sister buy it from you!
Patty
Not only can you store recipes in the Cook'n Recipe Organizer but you can make meal plans and shopping lists based on your recipes, analyze nutrition, print all your recipes into a cookbook, and so much more that I'm sure I haven't come across yet! To me that's revolutionary software!! I would love to be able to cook healthier meals for my family and being able to print off a shopping list just simplifies it. I won't spend hours going through recipes and making up a list myself anymore.

You should win "most excellent tech support / way to run a business" of the year.
Amy Mackay
YES! This software is amazing. It will 'capture' a recipe right off the web, drop it into whichever cookbook you specify, and even adjust the servings to fit your family, event, or party. If that isn't enough, you can customize the cookbooks to make them your own. You can print the recipes onto recipe cards, regular paper, whatever you want! You can sync it to your iPhone or iPad, download the shopping list from one of your fave recipes, and shop!
More Is Merrier blog
But what if there was a SIMPLE way to organize all your recipes in one place on the computer?? AHHH!! Yes there is! The Cook'n Recipe organizer comes with tons of preloaded recipes. They are all categorized as well to make finding them even easier. I can't express how wonderful this is!
Coupon Frenzy Mom blog
The Cook'n Recipe Organizer Software makes finding, storing, sorting and categorizing recipes so easy, and it's chock full of other great features too. For example, when you find a recipe you want to cook for tonight's dinner, you can automatically look at its nutritional value in detail, and with one click you can print out a shopping list. You can also make daily, weekly or monthly menus. That makes it easy to balance your family's nutritional needs and your budget on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and shop as you need or by the week or month.

This amazing program helps me find recipes, plan my menu for the week and make a shopping list that I can send to my phone! The only thing this program doesn’t do is cook :-) You can also add your own recipes. This is just the program I have been looking and hoping for all these years!
Central Texas Mom blog
Something else this program does is make it so you can make a family recipe book, just print the cookbook and bind. Such a great gift for anyone in the family or to pass on your wonderful yummy recipes to your children.
Mommyland blog
This system is so organized and unique - it will pull recipes for you and place them into a logical file folder. I am sure that this program is going to be a must have for you - it sure has been a lifesaver for me! Tonight I tried a new recipe for Pot Roast (that I found online and originally wrote on a sheet of notebook paper)- well it has been in a drawer since we moved in May and as I was putting new recipes in the organizer, I found it - let me tell you this Pot Roast was amazing!! I’m surprised that we have leftovers!!
This N That With Olivia blog
With this software you can plan a day, week or month's meals all in one place. This software is great for a busy family. In our house, we're kicking off a healthy eating routine. Starting after the Super Bowl, we are trying to have better food choices in the house. With this software, I can track our eating habits. We have a great plan in place to help us complete our goal. Also, I would like to introduce my kids to other types of cuisine. I can search the databases for ingredients that I know that they will like. For example, my kids like chicken. So I can search for Indian recipes that use chicken. This program is putting me on the road to culinary success.

I have to say, I've never had customer service like this before. You're great.

How cool is this program??? I love it. Already my recipes are getting organized and so is my day-to-day menu. Now that I'm a working mom I sure don't have much time for the grocery shopping or for making menus. This program has helped me to save tons of time. I am now able to save recipes I find online and capture them in my computer. Then I can add the ingredients to my shopping list! It's sooo cool!
Books Read N Makeup Done blog
A couple of weeks ago I got to the grocery store and realized I'd left my shopping list at home. I'd planned my menu, figured out all of the groceries and just left the list on the counter. I realized if my list had been on my phone this never would have happened. I've been trying out Cook'n Recipe Organizer and I know it can send your grocery list to your phone, so I decided to give it a whirl. I worked perfectly! I may finally be out of the dark ages of carrying a paper list around with me. :)
Jewelry For Change blog
Cook'n is better than I could have ever imagined a recipe software to be. Do you know how hard it is to keep all this organized? Really hard. I can bookmark a page in my binder or book, but soon forget which book or binder it was in and have to search for it all over again. This was driving me crazy. I could never keep anything in just one place, because there was so much. My cluttered nightmare is no longer an issue now that I have Cook'n. It is more than I ever wished in a recipe organizer.
Made By Jess blog
I can have a recipe made into a shopping list or even get a nutritional analysis done if I want to. The options seem endless with this program!
Nelson Clan blog
One of the coolest things in my opinion is the menu feature. Once you have your recipes in there, you can go into the calendar and say what you are going to have for each day. You can print that so the whole family knows in advance what is for dinner. AND it comes up with a grocery list for you!
Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts blog
I do not exaggerate when I say oh my goodness I love this software. It is incredibly easy to use, creates fantastic looking recipe pages and has just made my life easier. I decided I wasn't going to read up on any software instructions. I wanted to see if this software was really as easy to use as I had heard and if I could figure things out without having read any instructions. The answer is a "heck yes" it is that easy.
Powered By Mom blog
Cook'n software, once set up, is super easy to use. It means I can spend less time hunting around for recipes, making my meal plans and making sure the meals will meet the nutritional needs of my family.
Literary Sweet blog
You can make your computer cookbook cute with downloadable themes, plus check the newsletter for awesome additional recipes that you just click the "Add to Cook'n" button, save to the Cook'n files download file, accept the download being integrated into the existing cookbook and you're done! All in all I give this product a must-buy for all my chefs, busy moms willing to put in upfront work for easier meal planning later, and foodies! I really love this product and give it 5 out of 5 apron strings!
Mommy Moments With Abby blogs
This recipe software is unbelievable! I feel like I just won the lottery! Cook'n Recipe Organizer is one of the most user-friendly programs I have ever used. Everything is laid out in a simple manner that is pleasing to the eye. I will warn you, you will get very, very hungry!
It's My Life blog
When introduced to Cook'n a few weeks ago, I was beyond impressed. You know that I love to cook and bake! You also know that I love organization. But when it comes to my recipes, they were stored everywhere--in a wicker basket (poorly alphabetized), saved in my e-mail (under recipes), hand-written (on sticky notes in my kitchen drawer), stuck inside cookbooks (with food stains on them), saved under 'Recipes' in my iPhone. It was ridiculous and I needed a solution! This software program has changed this area of my life.
The Piggy Toes blogs
This is a really great way to get organized! I am able to input all of my loose recipes into one place and get rid of my FILES and notebooks that I have laying around. Cook'n Recipe Organizer just became my best friend... it is SUPER EASY to use!! After downloading the program I was able to save one of the Pioneer Woman's recipes within a few minutes, with 3 easy steps.
Keeping Up With the Rheinlanders blog
Many times I'll find recipes on the internet that look good but I know they'd be too spicy for me. When I'm cooking I usually alter the recipe but forget to make notes on the printed version. With Cook'n I can make those changes, deleting ingredients or whatever, right within the software and it's then saved that way. Love that!
A Life Full of Laughter blog
I love to cook! And with having 3 children and a fiance to cook for I often run out of new recipes to try with them. I do however have a ton of recipes that I have printed from the internet or that I have written down on paper. And if anyone else is like me, it is an absolute mess to try and keep them all organized. I have FINALLY found a solution for this problem. This amazing program helps you to find recipes on the internet, save internet recipes, enter your own personal recipes, print a family cookbook, analyze nutritional values, make menus, shopping lists, and more!
Pigtails and Mohawks blog
Cook'n is a really useful tool where I can write in my recipes, create a personal cookbook, write a menu plan, and look up recipes with their search engine. What's really great about their search engine is that it only filters in recipes and I easily edit the recipes right in the software. Isn't that awesome? I just think, no pesky ads on the recipes and I have much more control over my searching. I can even share a recipe with my friends via Twitter or Facebook.
The Art of Baking blog
This software is compatible with your computer and handheld devices making it even more convenient. No more lost grocery lists, or random notes laying around (I can't be the only one who does that) – just a perfect handheld list with no fuss!
Cute Like Me blog
I think the software is worth purchasing. Be sure that you take time to learn all the ins and outs, though. Doing so will greatly increase your satisfaction with the product. And don't hesitate to e-mail DVO if you have questions...they are very helpful!
Jamie's Precious Peas blog
I try to keep my recipes organized in recipe books and binders that I keep in a storage tub. I also have recipes saved on my desktop that I've found online. I love saving recipes so we can add new items to our menu. The problem is trying to remember which book, binder or file the recipe is in. I recently discovered Cook'n Recipe Organizer. This makes it so super easy to keep all my recipes in one place. There is just so much you can do with this software.
Deanna's Bargains blog
My favorite functions of the program are the ability to create shopping lists and meal plans. I love being able to map out the week, especially when I can go ahead and include quick meals for busy nights. Plus, it helps James and I both stay under our calories every day when we plan our meals in advance. The shopping list feature is also helpful, as it cuts down on all the last minute trips to the grocery store for that one ingredient you forgot.
Southern Girl Ramblings blog
Another great feature is that I can search online, using the Cook’n search bar and find recipes for things I want that are posted online. I enter the type of recipe I want into the search bar and click search. If I know I have certain ingredients I want to use, such as chicken, celery and carrots, I can type that in to find recipes that have those ingredients. Once I find one that I want, I click the capture button. The software imports the photo, if there was one, all the ingredients and instructions. It leaves a link back to the website in case I need it in the future. Then I can save it into the default recipe cookbook that comes with the software, or I can add it to my own cookbook.
The Spring-Mount 6 Pack blog
By using the menu function, you can painlessly plan your meals for up to three months in advance! Once your meals are planned, you can compile a shopping list to print up. Not only does it compile your shopping list but it can also store pricing information in the list of ingredients. The software already has many ingredients stored within its memory, including UPC number which I assume it then bases price on the recommended retail price for that specific item. This alone can be very handy to use the prices listed on your shopping list to judge if your grocery store is above or below normal retail prices on items that you use often. This is one of the features that really made my jaw hit the floor because it was much more than I had expected.
A Goddess of Frugality blog
The features are really more than I could imagine and very user friendly too. You know I love searching for recipes online, and this program actually has a built in feature to where one can search for recipes online, snag that recipe, and save it in the program. What is nice about Cook'n is that it converts it to a really nice easy to read layout. I LOVE the layout it has--very clean and includes the internet page the recipe was taken from. It is quite an intelligent program--it lays everything out for me in a spreadsheet just to make sure that I double check it, and then it comes out looking like this! I have captured quite a few recipes online already and was delighted that it even took the picture of the food right off the website without me having to do any extra steps!
Sophie and Momma blog
Once a recipe is saved and brands assigned, you can click on the Nutrition button at the top of the screen and it will open up the nutrition screen for that recipe. It will take the individual ingredient nutrition information (from the database and/or those that you have entered). It will give you a total nutrition for the recipe. You can also select settings and have it divide by the number of servings to see a per serving nutrition data for the recipe. I love this feature! I have been going in and adjusting the ingredient list to make sure it includes the ingredients (brands) that I normally am using, so that I can get the most accurate information. This makes it so much easier for me as I diet.
A Busy Mom of Two blog
Well I am loving my new software program! It can do so much and I could not be happier! It's the Cook'n Recipe Organizer. It is the neatest program ever. I am having so much fun organizing and sorting my recipes. It has mad a huge difference in my life. I had tons of recipes saved on my computer and now they are all in one very organized place. It is also helping me get all the loose saved recipes organized. It is so nice to finally throw away all those loose papers and know that I can find just what I want when I want! But I can also find new recipes online and add them right to my files in the software. I don't have to click and paste and print off a bunch of extra stuff. Just a few little clicks and it is added to my cookbook and it is there for as long as I want it. No more searching over and over to find the site where I found that neat recipe from. It's right at my fingertips all the time.
The Minister's Wife Stamps and Saves blog
Already, I have created a cook book with the recipes I have on my blog and have fallen in love with Cook'n. There are so many different cook books that you can download directly into the program including one from Taste of Home that have already used a couple of times with yummy success.

"Hi Cathy & Dan,
I love to watch the two of you working together. It is so obvious the love and devotion you have for each other. My husband and I have been married for 52 years and we do everything together. I never go anywhere without him and vice versa. Now days it's so hard to find young people with the affection you have for each other. Your children are very lucky.
Cathy, I thoroughly enjoy all the recipes you share. Since I live in Texas, this Mexican Enchilada dish sounds especially tempting. I shall be making this very soon"

"I might learn how to cook yet with all this software of yours. You can't believe how much it has helped. I've had friends come over (I'm just a single guy with a dog - but looking for the right woman) and rave about the meals I prepared for them. It's not all that hard if you just follow the directions. In the end I have to tell them my secret, it's not talent - it's your software.
Oh well, the food is still delicious. Now if I could just figure out how to use the dishwasher.

Software Team,
I first want to express my heart-felt GREAT JOB!!! to the team. I just downloaded and installed the Mac version. I then did a restore from my PC Cook'n backup. It worked perfectly with no problems. In fact, Where the PC version took 3-5 minutes to start up and load all my cookbooks, the Mac version does so in well under a minute! SWEET!!
I am just so thankful to finally have Cook'n running native on my Mac. My hat is off to the entire development and support team.
Best regards,
Mark
Dan, You are the manWhen I got the good news Friday. I spent the day cleaning my Mac to get ready for this great software, cannot wait to start typing recipes.
Thanks shallot, I am most grapefruit, For all your Wok.
-Charles
This is what my sister and I have been waiting for....it's looking good.
Barbara Allen
I am so excited, hope it is complete soon; I've been waiting a long time. The video looks wonderful.
Thanks, Lillian
Can't wait....I love my PC version and use it all the time. Would like to see the Mac version as I use Mac too....hurry!
Kathy M.
YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY!!!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT TO START. ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING YOUR DEMO! I HAD A PROGRAM IN THE PAST BUT WAS UNABLE TO USE IT ON THE MAC MISSED IT. I COOK ALL THE TIME AND LOVE TO TRY NEW RECIPES OUT MAGAZINES OR WHATEVER. MY HUSBAND NEVER KNOWS WHAT HE IS GOING TO GET FOR DINNER. BUT THIS LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER !!!! GOING TO BE WORTH THE WAIT. THANK YOU!
Kathleen
Can't wait! When Cook'n for Mac is released, my Mac will be released from its Windows programs -- as soon as I export my Cook'n recipes, of course :o)
Donna
I am glad to hear I can transfer recipes to the new MAC version. After so many years, I have a lot of recipes on my old Cookin disk'! Please keep me informed. Thanks much. Enjoy your emails and demos!
Regards, Alma MacCallum
The Mac version looks great. Started using Mac about a year ago and it's now my main computer. I look forward to the Cook'n Mac version. Congratulation!
Angela
Thanks Dan for the MAC message. I am thrilled that your software will soon be ready. I have enjoyed your software very much but do want it on my Mac which is a fabulous machine. I am behind organizing my recipes and look forward to getting back up to date again soon.

Barbara - I received the CD today and have it loaded. It's so easy. I want you to know that I appreciate you doing this for me. I love the software and have bragged about it to a couple of friends who have decided to go purchase it also. The chocolate that came with the CD was a nice touch!
Thanks, again.
Dan - First of all, thank you for the DVO software. Second of all, thanks for the great support DVO gives. I'd wish it weren't necessary but, software being software (and people who operate computers being the way *they* are), it's just gonna happen. Following the e-mail thread below, I phoned your support line last week and got Jeffrey on the phone. He was courteous and extremely helpful and the problem was resolved. Congratulations on having a company where good people like Jeffrey work. I work in finance in a software company now and have run an IT department (with an internal help desk) and, as a bit of a techie geek often get these calls from family so I know what's involved. You're obviously giving your support team at least *some* of the tools, training, and encouragement they need to be on your front line.
Ken
Cook'n software is great!!! I have recommended it to many of my family and friends.
Your web site is so easy to order from and navigate. Dan did a great job in designing the software and website. The tutorials are very helpful too. My family enjoys the recipes. I bought Cook'n many years ago, but didn't purchase the backup disc. Something happened to my computer and I reordered Cook'n Organizer on Dec. 28, 2009. I also have purchased CD backup on most of my monthly downloads.
Cook'n is one of the best purchases I have ever made!!!!
Tell Dan, he has an awesome product and web site. Thank you again.
Sondra Parmele
Sir/Ma'am,
I have been so impressed with this software. The Demo was easy to follow and if I had a question your online tools are readily accessible. I have already seen a significant difference in my grocery bill as I buy only those items I need instead of planning my dinners at the store. I love your software, am a FAN on Facebook and look forward to promoting your product to whoever will listen!
Thank you for creating a great product!
Andrea Morrison
was able to download my cookbook and imported into my Cook'in software. I'm very impressed with the process and the cookbook itself. I look forward to enjoying the meals and also look forward to adding to my software in the future. You can be sure that I will spread the word about Cook'in.
Thank you,
Chester
I wanted to make sure I have a year of recipes for my food storage, and wanted to create a cookbook just for those ingredients that I store... I checked all around and decided on your software. The reasons I chose you above the others is because of your clear website - it was very easy to browse over your product and know exactly what I was getting and how easy or difficult it would be to do what I want. I watched your videos on the overview, transferring from one computer to another, and some other FAQ's. Thanks for having your product so visible - the others just tell you a brief description, and I was left wondering if I would have all my needs met by purchasing their product. Also, I find it wonderfully refreshing how our fellow brothers and sisters take every opportunity to share the gospel and be and show they are Disciples of Christ. You do a great job of that. I'm very impressed with your product and how you have advertised yourself and your company. I wish you all the luck and blessings with your company and endeavors.

Dan,
First off, I LOVE your program. The more I learn about it and the more I use it the more I love it! Thank you so very much for creating and sharing this wonderful program. The functionality and continued improvements you make are fabulous.
I recommend everyone who has purchased or is thinking about purchasing a recipe or meal planning program watch your online training videos. They were very informative (and entertaining as well.)
The program is great, the training videos wonderful. If you don't make any more changes - it will still be the best program I have ever seen... :)
THANK YOU so much for the program and the wonderful people that answer the phones there as well. I will be spreading the word!
Sincerely,
Tamara Schoch
Dan,
I think the Cook'n software is the best purchase I have ever made. You have no idea how many times I looked for a recipe I knew I had but could not find anywhere and had to give up after hours of going through many of my cookbooks and loose recipes that I keep in a greatly disorganized manner. Thank you very, very much for having come up with such a great tool for those of us who love to cook. I absolutely love your software.
Thanks again,
Margaret
Dan,
I have only had your Cook'n Recipe Organizer for just a few days and am enamored by it.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for helping me. I chose the cook'n software because I felt it would provide the best program as well as the best support. This time I know I got it right. Thank you.
Again thanks,

Hi Dan,
I just set up my new Cook'n Recipe Organizer on my PC. I used my older version all the time and I am sure that I will enjoy this one even more. Thank you for providing such an awesome recipe organizer.
Your products are wonderful and I so enjoy visiting with you and Kathy once a month in my news letters. I highly recommend your products to any and every cook. I have had nothing but 200% service in all of the years that I have done business with you.
Great product and superior service!
Thank you once again,
Elaine
Dear Cook N,
I just installed your recipe software and love it! The best feature is the list feature that enables you to find out exactly what you need to pick up from the store....but the greater part of this feature is the nutrition information! For someone like myself who tries (not always successful) to watch their weight, this feature proves in-valuable. Just to cook and have an idea of how many calories one will be eating (estimated of course) instead of searching each nutritional info on each box, or a book or web site. I am very impressed that this software came with the printer that I bought. It was a two and one deal and I love it. Once again thank you and I will refer this software to as many people as I can.
Sincerely,
Chris
Dan,
You and your wife are awesome. I can't tell you how much your emails, and videos have helped me in one way or another. I pride myself on being a pretty decent cook and I love your "how to" videos--especially the Thanksgiving one. Now you've done it again... Just yesterday I lost some family pictures on my computer somehow, then I get this email today detailing a way to easily backup photos on the computer. You are a truly a blessing. I am definitely going to purchase the
Picture Keeper. Anyway...I always like to tell people when they are doing a good job because I think it's important. So--thank you for taking the time to care and share your knowledge. What you do is appreciated!
Best regards,
Tammy J.
My CD was delivered today (Saturday), easy installation, even I could do it!!

While I'm writing I just want to say how great the Recipe Organizer is, I tell everyone about it, in fact I just ordered another one for a friend the other day, he is a hunting guide wanting to make his own camping cookbook, once I told him how easy it was to put recipes into the Recipe Organizer he was hooked. It is so worth the money, it really sells itself. Your tech support is great too, and I love the cook'n newsletters.
Karen
Hello there!
Just a quick note to let you know how much I love your program. Not only has it enabled me to get rid of a good deal of paper but recipes are just a couple of clicks away, no more hunting.
The program is wonderful, your website is easy to navigate and the fact that you have thought of pretty much everything that could possibly go wrong
and make it easy to fix is amazing to me and when I can't fix something myself you are there to assist me in a friendly, professional fashion.
Thanks for everything!
Judy
I love that I can look up a couple ingredients and find a recipe for dinner. I recently received the
apple corer and peeler and I don't know how I have lived without it before. I have a problem with my thumb and this will save me from peeling and slicing apples (and potatoes) for dishes. My family will be happy too, since they will get more yummy treats. Keep up the great work with the products and the
video demos.
You inspire me, and that's saying some after 29 years of marriage and two hungry teenage boys!
Kerri
My Way of Doing Things was the best video commercial I have ever seen. I sent it to everyone on my e-mail list. Now you got all there extra folks checking out my fav cook'n site. I also really enjoyed the jokes. Keep up the good work. Blessing to you all.
Martha
Dan,
Just a short note to tell you how much I am enjoying Cookn as well as the related cookbooks I have already received by purchase or coupon and downloaded. You do good work. I am a converted Living Cookbook user and until I got into Cookn I wasnt sure I wanted to make the change. Once I saw what you have done, I was hooked. There are a couple of things that might lend themselves well to Cookn like the Recipe Capture capability, but even without it, Cookn is head and shoulders above the competition. Keep up the good work!
Rick Delaney
Okay so I procrastinated just a little bit I kept putting off joining the
cook'n club for years. Today I gave in. Man, am I having a BLAST!
Love the software so much I bought a copy for my daughter and installed it on her laptop. I've put recipes that we've made through the years on my version and I think I can pass them to her for her Cook'n set up. (I'll look it up the research and discovery is half the fun!)
Just another fan mail, kiddo!! It's great, as usual!!

Thanks for a great product. I love using it and receiving the weekly newsletters and reading the forum topics. Thanks for everything. I love your videos too!

Hi Dan,
I just received your program the other day and just starting to experiment with it. To date, I just LOVE IT! I have entered quite a few of my own recipes and like that I can open my own cookbook, with its own chapters. I also think that you have wonderful recipes in your program and found it so easy to "drag" them into my own chapters within our cookbook.
I can't wait to see all that it has to offer and am looking forward to spending many enjoyable hours of "looking around" the program. I think it will be a great tool and think it is an awesome program.
Sue
Hi Dan,
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I am most definitely enjoying the Cook'n Club weekly newsletter! And the Cook'n downloads are awesome!! Your software is the best cooking software out there!
Thanks for everything you do for your customers! You make us feel like family.
Toni
Hi Dan,
I really love your Cookin' software, it's the greatest thing I've found for organizing recipes. Keep up the great work! I've been using the software now for a little over a year and have come across a few favorite recipes from the various books I have installed in it.
Roy
Thank you so very much! That worked and I have now loaded them onto my computer for future viewing.
Your service was tremendous and I like the program. I can see it's benefits for adapting recipes up for our Boy Scout Troop and have recommended it to my fellow Scouters who are involved with cooking with the Scouts.
Again, thanks for your awesome service!
Kathy
Dan,
Thanks for the email. My wife and I have seen the benefit of your software already by streamlining our meal preparation, menu selection and grocery shopping!

I just want to say thank you. Your software is what I have always wanted but never had the knowledge on how to write the program, any program for that matter.
Thank you for having that knowledge and the smarts to know what a homemaker needs to make his or her job easier.
Carla
Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE my Cook'n Recipe Organizer software. I have been using it so much that I'm afraid I could never live without it now. I love the dove-tailing tips every week. My husband even remarked how much eaiser it is to do things ahead of time for meals later in the week when we are more rushed for time. I really enjoy watching the videos online that show how easy most of these recipes are!! I've even told my sisters how much I love it.
I am so excited about the new printing options that came with the new upgrade because my personal cookbook is a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 three-ring binder. It was a little cumbersome printing the recipes before, but NOW it is so much easier.
Thank you so much for that upgrade. Keep up the good work.
Ruth
I just wanted to let you know how much I love your product! I was so excited to get my software! The best cooking program anywhere!!

Dear Barbara:
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to help me with my subscription. You are very kind and helpful. I also wanted to say that I have enjoyed finding recipes and I am looking forward to taking the time to enter my recipes into the software program. The software is very easy to use, in fact easier than the software that I currently have for my recipes.
Again, thanks for your help.

Hello Mr. Oaks,
Your product is awesome! Thank you so very much for all you and your staff has done to create such a wonderful recipe program. I actually made a menu and used it, the shopping list is awesome, and the recipe I have tried so far was great, my husband loved it and said "let's have this again soon"!
So once again thank you!
Sarah Machinsky
Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated your help in finding my programs. I've dealt with many companies, but you at DVO are by far the finest. You make a product that keeps it's promise. Quality all the way. . . Have you thought of taking over Microsoft?

I am so excited about using this fun (and now necessary) new kitchen tool! My laptop will be sitting on the island while I go about my cooking. Can't wait to implement the grocery list as well.
You have well thought out software and so user friendly. Thus far, it appears you have thought of everything. I even appreciate the helpful videos (visual learner, here) and dutch oven ideas.
God bless you and yours,
Jill
Good day,
First let me tell you how wonderful your Cook'n sofware is. I purchased Cook'n a few years ago and just keep adding my own recipes to it. I have also purchased some of your Cook'n recipe sofware since and just love it. Your new Cook'n upgrade is great, I love the print preview, the fact that I can now sort my chapters, the advance search but most of all I love the capability to print a cook book.
Once again, well done on your Cook'n software.
Christine McDermid
Hi Dan,
Just a word to tell how much I have loved the Cook'n program, but now with the new update that I purchased I think on the first day that it was offered, you have truly made this Cook'n program the absolute best that is out there. I am not much of a computer person, but I am a huge fanatic in the cooking and baking world. I was in the food or wholesale food business for 33 years. I have owned restaurants, and managed people who were also passionate about food.
Len Belcher
Dan,
Thank you for coming up with such a wonderful way to keep track of all recipes. I use Cook'n everyday and it is the best program on the market to organize recipes. I am looking forward to the upgrade and thanks for your dedication and doing all that programing that will make Cook'n even better.

Hello Dan,
I am in Uganda, East Africa. Having longed for a systematic cooking schedule, I happened to surf for a software that would bail me out. Thanks to your innovation. Cook'n has solved the problems I had in my meal planningand food preparation. I am happy to be subscriber to this innovation.
Eunice Winyi.
Thanks a million...I'm up and running. This software is just perfect for what I want to do.
Juanita Joiner
Thanks so much for the email and for making my four kids so happy now that I am finally cooking!!! They even told me that my buttermilk pancakes I made from the DVO recipe were better than McDonald's pancakes. You can't get a better compliment than that!!! Now if you could just create a chicken mcnugget recipe............. :)
Have a great day!!
Corene Oberholtz
Dan-
Thanks for the email reminder. I've already purchased my copy and am very happy with it.
By the way, you can thank Dell & QVC for getting me hooked on your products. I purchased my Dell laptop from QVC last year in time for Christmas. Part of that purchase was a package of software including your Cook'n with Pillsbury title. I am a cookbook collector by nature and have about two dozen hard cover cookbooks. It's been great taking the handful or so tried and true recipes from those books and putting them into my own "book".
Also, some friends of mine at work have recently begun a recipe club. It's honestly more like an old chain mail ... you send an email to 20 people who all send it to 20 people, etc., but it has resulted in me getting a couple dozen new recipes to try. I sent everyone two recipes, one of my own creations and your version of Cafe Rio dressing (yes, it's a favorite of ours!). For the Cafe Rio dressing I sent them the link to your website and I suggested they check out all of your books and even the Cook'n club. I've told so many of my friends how great it is (I love knowing the nutritional breakdown if multiplying or dividing a recipe and the grocery list features!) and hope they see the light and purchase.
Thanks for your efforts and the wonderful resulting product!
-Kimberly
Dan,
I am so happy with Cook'n. I am learning to create a cook book and the menu section.
Thank you for the creation, it's been great!
Alina Freyre
Hello Dan,
Thanks for your software! As a programmer who has been working on designing such an application for the past few year in my spare time, I know what a challenge this program can be. I just love how easy your application is to use and to navigate.
I really do love your recipe organizer application and I am glad that I purchased it.
Roger
I just wanted to thank you Dan for
Cook'n with Weber. I am so glad that I watched your
demo earlier. It made it so much easier for me to understand how to use all of the features you have to offer on your CD. What a neat CD.
I like how you can change quantities for more or less servings. I like especially being able to add my own recipes. The grocery list is also such a time saver.
Thank you again Dan. I'm looking forward to trying your recipes.
They all look so good that I'm not sure which one to make first.
Most sincerely,
MAUREEN WOODS
I looked and looked for a good recipe program for my compuer and I have had Cook'n for about two years and I like it better and better the more I use it!
Thanks
Gwyn
Today is the first time I've visited your site. I did sign up for the newsletter and am anxious to get my first one. I just wanted to tell you that this is perhaps
the best web site I have ever visited. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Sarah Stedman

During a time when I lost my job and I was at home with the kids, the thought of a program or database that helped me plan meals and print out a shopping list was formost on my mind. Something like that would save me money and time. My issue was I don't know anything about building the software to make it happen. Now four years later, I finally found your website and read it. Man, I'm slow!
Your software looks quick and simple. It's what everyone in America needs.
Clint Jordan

Dan,
I always enjoy reading the Newsletter, and seeing your family. I have fond memories of buying Current products for SO MANY years! (Since around the 80's I think!) I'm going to round up all my existing Cook'n Software, and make some decisions about what to add.
Thanks agina...
Debra S.
Dan,
I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND YOU AND YOUR COMPANY........I TRIED EVERY WHERE TILL I FOUND YOU ....TO BE ABLE TO KEEP FAMILY RECIPES IN AN EASY FORMAT........I HAVE TALKED TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE WHEN I HAD A PROBLEM....THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.....I BOUGHT SEVERAL OF YOUR CD'S TO HELP FAMILY MEMBERS STORE THEIR RECIPES
Judith
Dear Dan,
First let me say thank you for your wonderful
program. I have a huge collection of cook books numbering almost 200.
I love to cook, and I read a cook book like other people read novels.
So as you can imagine I need a large area for storage. Your cook'n program allows me to have more cook books and yet not need anymore room than my laptop.
Thank you
Len B.
Dan:
You often ask for e-mails regarding your customers' impression of your software. Although I don't think I have ever written you before, I wanted to drop you a brief note.
I first encountered your Cook'n software in 1999, in an offer from H&R Block Tax Cut software. Since then, I have been a faithful user and have collected nearly all of your titles. All of my family recipes have also been added, so no need to scrounge through my mother's old recipe box any longer.
I look forward to both your Home Cook'n Newsletter and your new Cook'n Club News, and eagerly download those recipes as well.
My niece is a trained chef, and both her and her sister are interested in your products as well.
Thank you very much for your efforts.
Terry W.
I have been working on the organizer today and I really love it.
Thank you,
Stephanie T.
Hello
My name is Tobius Holmes, and I am a Social Worker and Caregiver for a special needs lady.
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the fantastic software your company has, my job is to plan this ladies entire day, and that includes meds, appointments, schedule, and the main one is meals, well I can tell you with my day being crammed packed with things to do I never had the time or energy at night to plan, and make a meal for the next week coming up, but with your software, I don't have to worry about that any more, after I bought a few books to go with the software and set up the different recipes and cookbooks, I was on easy street!
Now all I need to do is go into the software, go to the cook book I made for weekly menus, set up Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks and Supper with a few clicks of the mouse, print and I am done! This takes me no more than an hour a week to do, before I was always combing through book after book and internet sites looking for some thing for the weekly menus, then having to find the time to put it all together, no thanks!
Once again a huge thank you!!
Tobius...
Hi Dan
Can't Wait to check out your software!! I was so excited to hear about it, and the more I find/hear/read about it, the more excited I get.
Your website is awesome! My whole family loves to cook and I anticipate all of my relatives purchasing your software. I can't wait to order additional products from you. Thanks so much for your email. Very impressive service!
Have a great night.
Julie S.
I absolutely LOVE your software AND your website. I'm a single parent of a teenage daughter who has severe ADHD and bi-polar disorder. I NEVER have enough time in my day and this Crazy Lady Day Planner looks like EXACTLY what I have needed for are really, really long time. I just love all your time saving tips and a lot of the kitchen tools you offer. And thanks so much for the special offer on the Cook'n Recipe Organizer 8.2 this month!! I'm finally getting it in hopes of saving even more time with meal planning. You guys are just the BEST!!!! As a software engineer, I started writing my own recipe software a little over a year ago. I found your website about a week into my efforts and quit my project. Your site offered me most of what I was looking for at the time. So, thanks again!!!
Suzanne
I love the software, I have had it for a couple of years, but I am really starting to use the lists and menu functions. I was so glad to find a company with great values and a good product.
K Mills
Hi Dan,
Just a quick note here to tell you how excited I am to own this software. I have 6 kids who seem to eat all the time, so I am using the software to help plan both my meals and snack menus. I went to the store with my custom Cook'n shopping list yesterday, and it was a GREAT trip to the store. We had a change in menu plans today and I am glad to know I can just drop and drag stuff around in the Recipe Program and still be good to go!
I look forward to my streamlined menu planning. I know this software is going to help me save a LOT of time and take the drudgery out of planning meals.
Christine
Dan and staff,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful product! I have a state certified adult family home where I care for four mentally handicapped adults. I am a very busy women! (Plus I have four chidren and five grandchildren) Needless to say, I cook for at least seven people everyday and sometimes as many as 18. Your features on the recipe organizer have made it so easy to convert my recipe serving sizes, find new recipes, and make menu's etc. I have looked at commercial products and they could cost well over $1,000! Your product is perfect for my needs.
Thanks again!
~Valerie
Dear Dan and fellow DVO employees,
I just love this software! The more I work with it, the more excited I get; I really just want to work in it all the time!
There was an out-of-print cookbook that had a lot of really great recipes, but it kept getting misplaced. Any time one of the kids decided they wanted a specific recipe from that cookbook, I'd spend forever looking for it! Now it's preserved in my Cook'n software, and I've just told my daughter that I'm definitely buying her a copy of the "Cook'n Recipe Organizer" so she can have a copy of our favorite recipes!
Thanks again, Dan! It's a fantastic program! I LOVE THIS SOFTWARE!!!

Dear Mr. Dan Oaks:
From the day that my husband and I downloaded your program we have been entering our favorite recipes of 25 years of marriage. We love your program. Even our daughter has gotten into it. The thing that I am hoping for is to have them ready to make her and our 2 sons a disc of all of our favorite recipes. When I print out the 4x6 cards they are so wonderful and they look so good and it is so easy to organize them into one of those photo books that make my cooking experience efficient and fun. Thank you for this well thought through program.
You make cooking fun! And to think when I got married 25 years ago I hated cooking.
Mrs. Yockey
Dan,
I just downloaded my organizer over the weekend and I think it is a terrific product. Being sometimes technically challenged I find some software not to my liking but your cook'n is so simple to use that even a dummy like me can use it with ease. Will be ordering more of yoru products.
Thanks,
Jane
Dan,
I would really like to let you and your family know that I really enjoy everything about your services. I enjoy the cookbooks I enjoy your letters and I enjoy all the live video's. I'm glad I have someone I can count on.
Keep up the great work. And thank you for making my day.
Your truly,
June
Dan,
I want to thank you for the bright light that you are.
I resonate with your business philosophy. In todays busy culture induced with so much stress your products are aimed to bring people together. To slow us down.
To reconnect. Thank you!
I also love the way you communicate to your audience.
Always funny, always uplifting and with warmth that is not commonly found in business communication.
I want to wish you and your family a successful and prosperous 2008. Not just monetarily but in the most important aspects of life. Health, Family and Friendship Connection and Fun!!!
Thank you again for the bright spot you bring into my inbox as it's fun to read about your latest offerings with so much warmth coming through as you communicate to your audience. That is rare these days!
Julia
Hi Dan!
I'm new to the cook'n family, but already I've started to feel like I've belonged forever! Thank you for a wonderful product. This truly has brought my family closer. My husband and I have begun cooking together and both enjoy searching for new recipes to try each week.
Have a wonderful Day!
Michelle
Hi Dan!
Thanks for your note. I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying using your software. I have cookbooks here at home from my grandmother's days and they are falling apart and your program has brought them all right back to life.
Thanks so very much for helping me keep a part of her with me.
Katie
Dan,
I love your software so much, I truly am one of your biggest fans. And as much as I love your software, I appreciate the way you run your business that much more.
Every now and then somebody on my favorite website is looking for some recipe software and I am ALL too eager to give them your website and sing your praises! (this last time I received about 5 personal e-mails asking me for more info on your software!)
So, thanks so much for all you do. May God bless you and your families!
Erin
Dear Dan,
I absolutely love cook'n and have already prepared several meals for my wife and I. We have lots of cookbooks that I never use. It is great to just enter a certain type of food or ingredient, get a recipe and then print it out. No books to sift through. It has been a catalyst for me to start cooking for the first time in my life and I am having so much fun. My 12 year old daughter had a blast making the string cheese sticks from your tips even though we had flour everywhere(my fault too, I was making your fried chicken recipe that night too.)Bottom line is that your product has been a blessing for us and I appreciate you and your wife's personal touch too.
Sincerely,
Eric
Hello Dan,
I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how VERY impressed I am with the DVO product line.
I recently took up the responsibility for spearheading the collection and organization of my family's recipes. (Some are more than 100 years old.) In my quest to come up with a scalable, and easily-managed solution, I tried several other products for organizing these family treasures. I even came close to launching a Wiki, but then I recalled just how technically challenged some of my relatives are, and came to the conclusion that I needed something that would allow me to easily print recipes on the appropriately-sized cardstock.
I chanced upon your fine product this past Friday. Then, I went ahead and purchased a low-fat cookbook download from your site, and was simply floored by the fact that it integrated with the recipe organizer with one click of the mouse.
I love the Cook'n software, and you can be assured that I will be telling everyone I know about the excellence of your products and services.
Very kind regards,
Linda
Dan,
I wish all companies I deal with were a user friendly and so caring of the customers. Dan you have really tremendous people working with you.
Thanks again,
Ruth
Dan,
We used your software and cookbooks while we sailed two transatlantics. First, because of all the tools that support self-sufficent meal planning.."there are no 7 elevens offshore" and second, NO BOOKS are needed. All in all a win win.
Thanks,
Joan
_
Thanks Dan,
After much research and several trial downloads (awful software), I discovered your web site, viewed your video, and knew that your program was the one I wanted. I am already creating a cookbook and adding recipes. A visit to your FAQ site was helpful. It's nice to know support via email or phone is close at hand when needed. I'm looking forward to the monthly news letter.
Have a great weekend,
Virginia

I am currently inputting all of my own recipes....and this has to be the easiest and best organized program ever! I am so glad that I found it...:)

I absolutely love '
Crazy Lady Planner Pages'. Before, I never used my planner because it just didn't work for me. But since I started using Crazy Lady Planner Pages, I use it every day now. I think it is so awesome that I only have to order what I know I will actually use. The design and outline of these pages totally fit my lifestyle. I no longer buy any other brand of planner refill pages. Thank you so much for coming up with this idea. I am telling all my friends and family. So far everyone thinks that it is a cool idea. This is one product that really sells itself.
Carol
Dan,
Your recipes that you send out in the monthly newsletter are terrific. You can never have enough recipes. I also like using the Cook'n Program to type my recipes because they are so much easier to read. Every time I use the Cook'n Program I am finding out more about it. The demo's are a big help too. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
Bev
Dan and Kathy,
I cook weekly at our church and have used many of your recipes for dinners on Wednesday nights. With all the hustle and bustle of family life, dinners at our church help people. Your electronic recipe cookbooks make it so easy to figure out how much food to purchase, to cook what volume of spices and amounts to put into the recipes. I use the software all the time at home as I do all the cooking for our family and can always count on a wonderful recipe from your cookbooks. I really enjoy the new ones that I purchased at Christmas.
Well again, thank you for all of your great cookbooks and recipes I wish I could just buy them all, but you know how that is. Your company is blessing to all who purchase your products.
Sincerely,
Dale
Dan,
I'm so excited to start using this software, exactly what I have been wishing for and didn't know existed!
Thank you,
Lila
Hi Dan,
I'm loving my Cook'n. It's revolutionized my participation in my family's dinners. My girls and I did our first grocery store run using our Cook'n shopping list. It was great! Now it's fun to use the stuff I bought for each recipe and I can actually make sure I have everything I need on hand! I know that sounds basic, but I've been ill for a year and have had to count on pre-prepared dinners, so we needed some home cooking!
Sincerely,
Anne
Hi Dan,
I love my Cook'n. I am addicted to logging all my recipes on the program. I am a pack rat who has cut out recipes from magazines for the past 20 years and my recipe box is a disaster. I dont even know what recipes I have. Most I have not even made. I know I will utilize my recipes now that I have Cook'n and enjoy this so much! My friends are even calling me with ingredients in their fridge and asking me to give them a recipe they can make for dinner. So far I have put in over 100 recipes and have probably another 200 or more to go but until I finish I am hooked on this!
Thanks,
Stacey
Dan,
I just want to say I really love my cook'n so far. I got it for Christmas and with all the recipes I have it will be great. Plus it's just the 2 of us and I have a hard time cooking for 2, so I like the idea that I can cut change the serving size on recipes. That will make my husband happy. He won't have to eat the same meal for 4-5 days.
Thanks,
Debbie
Hi Dan,
Thank You so much for the e-mail. I only played around with my new Cook'n Organizer last night for the first time. I already know I will enjoy it. I am looking forward to your newsletter.
Regards,
Josephine
Dan,
We enjoyed your demo tape so much my husband wanted your product as much as I did. We are very pleased with the product.
Each time we use it we are glad we bought it. Your customer support is excellent. Thank you for a great product with good support.
Dave & Ann Crandall
Hi Dan,
I love the program very much. As a semi-retired chef it comes in really handy for all my recipes, I have cheffed in South Texas and New Orleans and it really helps.
Thanks for the "personal" touch.
Clarence
My 13 year old daughter just found your website by accident while looking for a recipe for Toffee Crunch Bars. Wow - was I surprised to see the story of your business and the WONDERFUL difference you are making on keeping families together and helping each other. Your software had all the criteria I am looking for, especially to add your own photos, since I like to rip recipes out of magazines and I want to scan those photos in. I am excited to ask for only ONE thing this Christmas. Your Cook'n Recipe organizer.
Thank you,
Nancy
Dan
I just finished watching your video on the Cream Cheese Pumpkin Roll. (
click here to see video) I don't normally e-mail my comments on something like this but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed watching you and your wife on this. You have a wonderful thing going and I wish you all the success in the world with it. I am going to get my sister started with one of your Cook'n Recipe Cd's as a Christmas gift. I know she will love it as much as I do. I love the Cook'n concept and how easy it is to use and share! Thanks for your hard work and I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! Keep the videos coming .........
Karen
Dan,
I just wanted to take the time to say how much I love this product, very easy to use, extremely convenient for grocery shopping, and for a busy working mom who loves to cook a very nice helping hand to get great food to the table!!!
Thank you!!!
Dan,
I work two jobs, and it's hard to get in the holiday spirit sometime. This message
(
click here for audio message) reminds me that we all should have the mindset of thankfulness everyday, not just a designated day. I share all your newsletters with my daughters, hoping they receive as much from them as I do.
Thank you so much for what you do!
Sharon Cooper
Dan!
I just had to let you know that I loved this video! (
click here for video)
Not only did you offer a great recipe but, and maybe you didn't mean to do so, it was funny! I laughed when you tried to put the items back in the freezer, (looks like mine) and when the car alarm went off, I laughed again. It just showed that you and your wife are down to earth, ( not to mention that your wife appears to be a very good cook) and you didn't stop the video and take that part out. Thanks for all the work you do for this web site so that so many of us can enjoy and benefit from the delicious recipes.
Chris
Dan!
I have been wanting to join the Cook'n Club for months now. This is the birthday gift I requested from my husband. I can't wait to select my software title that comes with joining the Cook'n Club and am hoping to get more organizing tips from the weekly letters.
Kathy
Dan!
My name is Kelly Bird, I first started to use your Program when i was working for Maceys grocery Stores, I was making meals for the customers, We Called it Savory Selections, Quick and easy meals for our guests, I needed a program to help me keep track of all of the recipes that i was using, It is an excellent program to use, so thank you for it.
The reason that i an sending you this quick E-mail is to tell you thank you for all of the info that you send me, I feel that you are sending them to me personally, I do not know if you are sending out 1000's of E-mails or not, but they sure seem like they are sent to me, So I thank you for this.
Have a happy Holiday season,
Kelly
Dan,
Thanks for your welcome e-mail. I got your software that came with my new computer purchase and I love it! I paid for some other software (one of your competitors) and didn't realize your's would suit my needs much more. I plan on creating a "family cookbook"; as well as get the clutter off my countertop. I am also compiling a cookbook for Cancer Patients. (I've been an oncology consultant for a decade and believe this is a great way to help cancer survivors) Your software will help me organize those recipes, helpful hints, and notes to complete the project.
Thanks
Adele
Dear Dan,
Thank you so much for your great product! I did a lot of homework before choosing your recipe program, including reading your personal testimonial and reasons for providing this tool for the rest of us. Your product is a great tool - and well worth the price. Your personal touch makes it an even better value to me as a consumer.
Keep up the great work!
Tami
Hi Dan,
You're right, I don't remember getting a welcome from the president of a company before! So, I'm writing this brief note to thank you for your personal interest and to tell you I think your software is amazing; it is just what I've been looking for. For years, I've accumulated recipies on cards, notes, backs of envelopes, pieces of paper, cut from magazines, etc etc. Now that I'm retired (yes, I'm a former work-a-holic) I'm looking forward to finally getting all my recipes organized.
I'll watch for your newsletters,
Elaine
Just wanted to let you know I love the cook'n deluxe software, and thanks to
your great customer support this is my first older software that I have been
able to install in vista. Thanks for not leaving us dead in the water like
microsoft and other software makers have.
Thank you so much. You guys are the best. Love the software and the customer support..
Penny
I think that your program is absolutely great, I have been looking for a program such as yours to put all of my Mom's recipes on, she passed away in
2003 and had some great dishes. She was a great cook. It's about time someone developed a program as good as yours.
THANK YOU,
George
First let me tell you how much I am enjoying my Cook'n software and the Cook'n Club. I had another software program and it crashed on me. Since I was going to have to buy a new program, I checked out the competition and found Cook'n. I had major reservations about spending so much on software, especially since we are retired and money is a little tight. But it was definitely worth the cost! The club and forum give a safe venue for visiting with other cooks, checking recipes, etc. I have felt very welcomed into the group.
Thank you,
Barbara
Thank you for immediate response to my email and thank you for sending me another bottle of agave. I really like my Cook'n software and all of the recipe books I have ordered.
Thank you again,
RaNae
Dan,
I'm so glad I took the time to read your history page on the web site. I'm already in love with your products, and I tell everyone I know how great the Cook'n program is, but I feel even better knowing you have your priorities in the right place (which I already suspected from your newsletters, etc.) and seeing your precious family. Thanks for your spirit as well as a product I hope I never have to do without.
Love to you and your family.
Elizabeth
Dan,
I was looking for a recipe for Butternut Soup last week. I looked in several of my cookbooks expecting that each would have at least one recipe. The only place I found one was in your cookbook program. I made it for a family dinner, it was great!
I love the program and have been putting all our family recipe's in it.
Thanks,
Frances
Dan,
I started working with your program last night and totally love it! In fact, I love it so much, I am purchasing several more for Christmas presents and one of my co-workers is doing the same.
Sharooni
Dan,
Thank you so much for sending me this offer, and for all the emails you take the time to send us. I will end up buying two of these, one for me and one for a close friend for a Christmas gift.
We enjoy watching your life lifting little flicks and my husband gets such a kick out of you and your wife.
He told me to invite you and your family to stay here, should you ever decide to venture to Alaska for vacation or fun. We have openned our home to missionaries, and others for one thing or another and feel we could extend an invite to you as well.
Watching you is like watching families and friends, you are so home happy!
Again thanks for all you do, you are a blessing! And very much appreciated!
The invite is real, we have a large home on the bluff in Wasilla Alaska, hotel rates are outrageous and we would welcome you with a smile, that is if you have ever thought of the trip here. Just a thought for you both.
Again Thank you! We love your program, in fact I am putting together a dessert cookbook for the family for Christmas this year, last year was a cookies and treats book. Next year will be family favorite main dishes.
Keep Cookin'
Renee and Dan Williams

Dan,
I have had the Betty Crocker Deluxe version for over a year and just have never taken the time to use it - MY BAD!!! Since tonight is the Ohio State Football for hubby and I am babysitting our sick dog, I decided this was the perfect time to dive in. I have been sitting at our dining room table now for 2 hours entering every family recipe I can find. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM. If I don't show up for work on Monday, Dan Oaks is going to have to write me an excuse.
I encourage everyone to buy this and use it RIGHT AWAY!!!!
Patt
Hello Daniel,
Thank you so much for your email. I'm so impressed with your "Easy Family Cooking". I started reading recipes and spent hours looking.
I'm diabetic and disabled but I still love cooking. As soon as I can afford it I'm going to purchase a couple of CD's listed below.
-Cook'n for Diabetes and Cook'n Deluxe (6,000 recipes!)
Thanks again for emailing me.
Sincerely
Joyce
Dan,
I really like Cook'n and look forward each month when I can download another free cookbook because I am part of the Cook'n club. I enjoy the process of going through and deciding which one I will get this month! I started that process last weekend and was going through each one to see which one I would pick this time.
Keep up the good work.
Nancy
Dan,
I want to let you know that the more I use your wonderful program, the more I love it. It's so easy to enter my own recipes, I love being able to search by what foods I have on hand, not to mention creating a shopping list for recipes I want to make later, and it's so cool to be able to quickly print out recipe cards for friends and family on your lovely cards.
Thank you so much!
Elizabeth
Dan,
I managed to stumble onto your website while looking for recipe software for my wife. I just placed an order for Cook'n. I also visited you �About DVO� page. I wanted to let you know that, even though I'm not Mormon, I share your beliefs and core values. It's nice to know there are others out there with similar views.
Best regards, and good luck with your company!

Dan,
Your software is awesome! I am going to let everybody I know about it."

Dan,
I have yet to find anything you've sent me that isn't wonderful. Thanks for everything. You guys are great.
Barbara Sinnott
Dan,
Just wanted to say I LOVE your software!!! It is the greatest thing since sliced bread as far as i am concerned. I hae been able to consolidate so many recipes into my software. It really saves me time in the kitchen.
Question....will there ever be a Camp'n software??
thx for the great software!!
Susan Waite
Dan,
I have to say that so far I LOVE this program. I
have always considered myself very "culinary challenged" but I'm trying to
start cooking more to save money, lose weight and feed my family a healthy
meal. However, I do love messing around with the computer, so this program
has finally made it easy for me to plan meals and grocery lists using my
computer! I especially love the fact that you can adjust servings, as I
cook for a family of 5 (which usually means for 6 people given the way my
teenage son eats!) and now I can easily change recipes I find to accommodate
more people. I think it's a great idea and very easy to use. I've already
recommended it to all my friends and family - even the dietitian I'm seeing
to lose weight.
I'll definitely be updating my program with more of your recipes! Thanks again for an awesome product!

Dan,
I only purchased Cook-n yesterday, but already I am in love with it! This is the program I have wanted for years. I read some of the letters to you from your satisfied customers, they spoke of other programs they have tried and were not happy with, and I realized how lucky was I to find your website before I found the others. Now I'm just trying to decide which cookbook to download next...I want them all!

Dan,
As a former computer programmer, I want to tell you that your program is very user friendly and forgiving. My errors do not hang the program in it's tracks. And, it's not supposed to either. I was not too sure about downloading the program and having it run. Afterall, it' been almost 10 years since I retired and I have forgotten many things and computers won't let me do the things I used to do in the system. But the setup was so easy and everything worked great! Good job, Dan! Thanks.

Dear Dan,
Thanks for all you help. I made three casseroles this morning from the bones of the Chicken and Corn Bread Stuffing Casserole. As usual I have to make it my own by adding and subtracting from any recipe. I'm taking one to my neighbor across the street that had surgery this morning, and one to the pre-prep group that meets early. This is going to be really fun because I have a revised copy to take to church tonight. The program is great and I have two people that plan to buy as soon as they save for it.
Ardeth
Dear Dan,
I love the program and told my sister all about it. I had used "Master Cook" previously and didn't care for it, The program was difficult. I was up and running "Cook'n" in 5 minutes!!! Thank you so much for a great product!!!
I am going to purchase a program for my sister as soon as she is back home from vacation and can decide what program she wants.
I appreciate you making software programs for the "family", not many programs around like yours!!
I also purchased the "Cook'n and Grill" and getting ready to install it!
Again, Dan, thanks for a great product and looking forward to making great meals by using your program.

Hi Dan,
Wanted to tell you that we received our Agave order a few days ago. I
immediately looked at every single recipe on the CD. Then I made myself
some grape Kool-aid using the nectar. Delicious! Thanks for bringing this
product to our attention as well as for offering it. My husband is diabetic
and now my doctor tells me I am. This product is ideal for us. I can't
wait to tell our doctor about it (I see him this Friday). I am certain he
will like that we are using the product. Thanks again, Dan. Stay cool.

Hi Dan
I really like your software. I used to use Mastercook, which has caused me major problems. I tried Living Cookbook. Not near as nice.
Sincerely,
Martha Hamilton
Hi,
I just want to tell you that I love this product! It is so helpful for busy families like mine. It helps free up so much of my time to do other great things. My husband and children have even added recipes to my menus that they would like. I hardly have to plan at all. I also appreciate the quick response and information we get from DVO right after ordering it. I can't wait to get more Cook'n products. You have a winning company and I will gladly pass it on.
Marcia Lewis - a happy customer
Hi,
I purchased your software recently and want to thank you for a wonderful product. I have really enjoyed looking at the many, many recipes and I have even entered in some personal recipes and have made a cookbook. Although it was alot of work, it really turned out good. I am going to give them as Christmas presents. I think it will be a gift that people will remember and enjoy for a long time. (I had an office supply store finish them by putting a coil binding on them... I am just so pleased with the end result.) That just might be the first of many to come.
Thanks again,
Trish
Hello,
I am so happy with the software that I really felt compelled to write and say
thanks for developing a really useful software program.
I have a 1 1/2 year old and 3 mth old, needless to say life can be a little
chaotic. It took time, but now that I have my recipes in, meal planning is
easy. The shopping list is so convenient, and I was able to shop in less
time, only get what I need, plus I even prepped what I needed for the week!
This really is a time saver, and I'm sure we'll notice that our spending is
smarter too.
Thanks again,
Sasha Einwechter
I LOVE your software, and gave a copy of it to my daughter for Christmas!
Thanks so much. I threw out all my other software after 6 or more hours printing recipes. Then I found your Cook'n CD and did it again. It was worth it!!! Your program/software beats the tar out of the others.
Rita E Gorra
Thanks so much, Holly
I think Cook'n Deluxe is the best thing that has come into my kitchen in a long time. It will really help me cook a wide variety of tasty meals for my family. Since my husband is diabetic, I plan on getting the Cook'n for Diabetics CD next.
Please tell Dan that he has really created a winner here. This would be an excellent shower gift for a bride. I'm sure that I will be passing it on.
Thanks a million!
Cheri
Dan,
I just wanted to say that I got my Cook'n Recipe Organizer yesterday, and after loading it on my computer last night, I used it for the first time, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! I can tell this is just what I've been looking for to FINALLY be on my way to organizing all my recipes in my personal collection. I haven't had time yet to utilize the many other functions of this recipe software, but I am looking forward to it and I am so glad that I stumbled onto this while I was on your website reviewing the TV Guardian, which I ordered. I've been looking for a foul language filter for quite a while now, and was so astonished at the price difference! I saved about 50.00 by ordering from you instead of purchasing locally. I'm glad to have found your website.
Thanks, and May God Bless!!
Sincerely,
Ann Johnson
To Daniel V. Oaks Jr.
Sir I would like to thank you for a excellent product.
I have been using Micro Cookbook for the past 10 years.
Your program is the best I have seen to organize my family recipes
Thank you again
Steve Englert
Hello,
I have looked for SEVERAL years for a good recipe organizer. THIS IS IT! It does everything that I wanted. The price was reasonable too. I am so happy with this program and now I have a place to store all of the recipes that I have collected and those that my mother left me. Now I will never loose them.
Thank you so much for a wonderful program.
Hi, Dan!
Your DVD, Cook'n With Betty Crocker, is wonderful! I use it more than I use my collection of cookbooks - Thank you. I'm also enjoying your newsletter and am very grateful for the articles and new products you direct us to. I have the veggie steamer you've featured on your web-site and use it often.
I am your faithful (and VERY happy) subscriber,
Ricky
Hello,
I've thoroughly enjoyed the Cook'n Low Carb title. It has helped my weight loss better than the South Beach Diet since Cook'n allows me to adjust for the amount of people I can cook for.
Juanita
Dan,
Thank you for developing this product! Thank you for continuing to improve it and expand its capabilities. Thank you for the monthly newsletters and the free recipe downloads (just found those last night - what fun!). I've sent more than my share of issues and product suggestions to your development team (mostly to expand and improve upon the grocery list capabilities and product reports). It feels great knowing that your team listens and does their best to help.
Blessings!
Laurie Keller
Hi Dan
I just wanted to say that I've used the adding recipes to Cook'n and I just love the idea of being able to break down amounts so that I can prepare something for just me without having all kinds of food left over. I don't mind left-overs, but when one has them three or four times a week, one gets sick of them. I do freeze them once in awhile, if I think I can freeze them without adverse effects, but I'd rather not fill my freezer with that stuff when I need the space for my shopping perishables. I only shop once a month, big shopping, so I buy excess meat and veggies. I find I spend less money this way.
Sincerely,
Eunice Barthelemy
Happy new year Dan!
I hope you all had a blessed Christmas, just as we had...and will have an even more blessed new year. I just got out of the hospital after spending 3 long days there. But to let you know, I just turned several more hospital staffers on to your great programs...I told the dietary staff about how great your programs are, I told them about what I had, and some of what you had available, and they assured me they would be ordering new programs from you to replace what they have in place currently (Masterchef).
Just wanted to pass on that great bit of info to ya!
Annamarie
Thanks VERY much....
I do allot of cooking at our Boy Scout Camp for various Adult leader trainings....I've loaded all my "Special recipes" into the DVO software and I absolutely LOVE the shopping list feature. That is just really awesome!!!! I can't tell you how much time that'll save me.
Thanks again
Denver
HI
I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU THAT I HAVE NEVER FOUND A RECIPE ORGANIZER THAT I HAVE LIKED SO WELL. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS BUT HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN TRYING TO ORGANIZE THEIR RECIPE FILES. I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENTION OF USING IT TO PRINT OUT RECIPES FOR THE KIDS AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT, BUT I BELIEVE I GAVE MYSELF A NICE PRESENT TOO. I HAVE ALSO PURCHASED THE TASTE OF HOME, PILLSBURY, BETTY CROCKER AND THE BBQ BIBLE AT BEST BUY. MY HUSBAND CAN NOT WAIT TO GET INTO THE BBQ BIBLE.
THANKS AGAIN FOR A WONDERFUL PRODUCT.
PAT DESCHANE
Dan,
I recently purchased Cook'n software and I have to say that while I've only used it for two days so far, it seems to be the program I've been looking for. I am preparing to run a charteryacht, featuring gourmet dining, in the Virgin Islands and wanted some sort of database where I could store all of my recipes, create weekly menus tailored specifically to my guests' preferences, and then with a click of a mouse, create a precise shopping list. Since space is limited on the yacht, I don't want to over stock. I read your note in the user's manual with regard to the complexity involved in converting all of the different units of measure from all of the recipes to create a meaningful shopping list. It was that nightmare that kept me from writing my own database. Thanks for saving me from that!
You've done a great job on this program. Thanks.
Angela Lovin
HI
JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU AGAIN HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR WEBSITE......I BOUGHT SEVERAL OF YOUR PROGRAMS FOR FAMILY SO THEY COULD USE THE PROGRAM ALSO TO KEEP TRACK OF THEIR MOTHER'S RECIPES AS SHE HAD PASSED AWAY........I HAD LOOKED EVERYWHERE IN MY; AREA FOR A DEVICE TO MAKE INSERTING INGREDIENTS EASIER THAN JUST PLAIN TYPING THEM ONTO CARDS................AND I USE YOUR PROGRAM TO KEEP TRACK OF FAMILY RECIPES..........THE IDEA YOU HAD FOR FANCY RECIPE CARDS IS GREAT.........I HAVEN'T PURCHASED ANY YET BUT I LOOKED EVERY WHERE AROUND MY AREA AND ALL I COULD FIND WHERE JUST THE REGULAR INDEX CARDS..........YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB............
THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT JOB WELL DONE
Hello,
I have had your CD Cook'n Deluxe for 3 years now. I kept waiting for a glitch, loss of information, etc. It is just simply wonderful.
For years I had my recipes all over the place, and I looked for a way to save them. Writing them into a book, cards, and noting cookbooks were all messy, and futile.
My brother gave me a different software, and I started copying @ 35-40 recipes. It was tough work. I then looked online for other software and found yours. I chose yours because of the comments made by other users. (The complainers didn't really sound like they had a leg to stand on) So I am letting you know that I am giving a CD to my daughter for her birthday, and have told everyone at work how tremendous your software is. I am using it to store my myriad of recipes, but other people are interested in your other features. Great job. You are a genius!!!
Thanks again,
Rita
Hello,
I had purchased a different cookbook software which I wasn't happy with but used it anyway, not wanting to waste hard earned money. Unfortunately, my computer crashed and I lost the registration file for the software. After reinstalling the software, I contacted the site to get my registration and was told I would have to pay another fee for my registration number. Not being happy with the software anyway, I decided to look for something different and came across your program. I love it! It has everything that I was looking for in cookbook software in a very user-friendly package. I like being able to download new recipes from the newsletter and I especially like being able to get regular updates. I recommend this to everyone that uses a computer cookbook. Thanks for a great product.
Susie Long
I just wanted to give you feedback on your software. It is wonderful and easy to use.
Thanks,
Barb
Hello Dan,
I'm not sure if you'll actually receive this email yourself, but I just want to say "thank you" for the wonderful online demo of the Cook'n Software. I'm embarrassed to say that I purchased it for myself and my 4 daughters for Christmas last year because I had heard how good it was. I'm a teacher and have summers free. Because I have difficulty with the computer, I decided to wait until summer when I had concentrated blocks of time to dig out my Cook'n software and "learn" to use it. Well....I forgot all about it until I got your email about the new recipe cards. I noticed the online demo and after viewing it, I realized how easy it can be to use the program. The demo was excellent! Thank you so very much for all the time it must have taken to develop this tutorial to help computer-challenged people like me.
Ann
Hello,
My husband bought me the Cook'n2000 cdrom 4 years ago and I have really enjoyed all of it and that new recipes can be downloaded too. I have also printed many recipes and for family and friends. Trying many, many of the recipes have been very enjoyable for my family. Also the many features on the cdrom such as the videos and the "helps" is absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much!
Mrs. Boucher
Dear Dan,
In my husbands and my efforts to create a menu, grocery list,
etc., i.e. simplify our lives to be able to spend more time
with our kids, after trying to create my own data base, I
discovered your website.
I applaud your efforts to create a product that is so user
friendly, and so useful. I look forward to using the
product.
Good luck, and thanks for your brilliance (so that I don't
have to spend the time struggling with Access!).
Sincerely,
Jackie
I cannot say enough about this program.
I am in the catering business and have been shopping for and test-driving recipe software for years. Because of my line of work I literally have bankers boxes FULL of recipes which I have been collecting for over 25 years. Your software is PHENOMENAL!! I installed it and did nothing but say "wow", "wow", "wow" as I became acquainted with it.
This software will indeed meet all of my needs as I continue in my catering business, and I thank you because you will make my work so much easier and efficient!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Judy
Thank you!
I love it - My husband has diabetes and your software is really opening up more choices for our family.
Jude
Dan,
I was just online looking for a spray oil dispenser when I "happened" upon
your DVO website. I cannot tell you enough how excited I am about your menu
software. I am in the process of opening a coffee shop/cafe and one of the
tasks is, of course, recording my recipes and developing a menu. Your
software is the answer!
Thank you so much for following your dream and offering such help to people
like me!
Great blessings are wished to you and your family!
Sandra
Hello,
My husband bought the Cook'n 2000 CD for me 4 years ago. I have really enjoyed all of the program and the ability to download recipes too. I have printed many recipes for family and friends. I also have trien quite a few of the recipes finding them very enjoyable for my family. The many features on the CD such as the videos and the "helps" is absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much!
Mrs. Boucher
Dear Dan:
Congratulations on baby #5. Having them never gets old.
Way back in the days before a Commodore 64, I would look at a picture of a $5,000 computer that took up a huge desk and dream of being able to store and find my recipes on it.
Now, several computers later, I have finally found the program that will let me do this the way I want.
Your software is totally amazing. I can't believe you read my mind quite this well.
Thanks very much.
Barbara Sinnott
Hello Dan
I reviewed one of your newsletters and I definitely would like to receive
them. They are informative and whimsical. Loved the Zapper Gun. lol
I have tried many recipe software programs and this one is the best. It is
so easy to add a recipe, I know I will be clearing out a lot of folders
holding misc recipes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you..
Nancy
Hi Dan,
Just wanted to let you know that I made a cookbook of my Mom's recipes last year and gave them to family members. It was a great experience. It brought back many memories, and the family loved it and all use it. I added little comments about certain recipes and things I remembered growing up, and learning how to cook. I printed mine as a book and added pictures and other decorative touches. I used my Cook'n with Tase of Home program. It was great! Thanks and have a wonderful holiday season!
Maureen Sabbagh
Hello and Happy Holidays,
I too have used Cookin' to print out recipe cards. I have my own book in my Cookin' program, I think there are over 200 recipes I have put in. Family favorites passed done from generation to generation, as well as some speedy and healthly ones from this one. My son lives in Germany, so a couple of years ago, I printed out the book, all put on 4x6 cards. He loved it, and no more calling Mom at 2 in the morning wanting a recipe for donuts! Thanks for a great product! May you and yours be blessed this Holy Season.

Hi Dan,
Because you present yourself as accessible, I decided to thank you for the
Cook'n program. I've wanted to organize my recipes for a long time and
tried other programs that were not workable. I am impressed with the
ease of use.
Thanks, and looking forward to my 1st newsletter,
Carol
Dan,
One of the things I am extremely thankful for is running into your
marvelous software. I imported all of my cookin cds onto one of the new sentrino laptops which
can fit into a shoulderbag, and am now able to take it to the grocery store, recipe and shopping list in hand.
I also wish to thank you for making this program so totally accessable to
the speech screen readers I have to use as I am a totally blind individual.
I had been in the market for a second "something" to use in the kitchen and
when the specialized equipment manufactured for the blind simply could not
cut the mustard I turned to this Fujitsu P-1120 Subnotebook computer and your programs went right in like a breeze and now I have flexability as well as portability.
Thank you again and Holiday wishes to all of you at DVO from my household to yours.

Dear Dan.
This is one of the BIG reasons that I bought your product. I have been trying for years to create a cookbook that can be passed on easily to my daughters and daughter-in-laws. This is about as easy as it gets, and I love the ability to create my own specialized cookbook, print on cute cards and stick them in a binder. The fact that I can also create a years food storage program for these receipes at the touch of a finger is incredible. You have such a great product for so many reasons, and I talk about it to everyone if I visit with them for any length of time.
Thank you again. I totally enjoy your whole product, newsletters and all.
_
Dan,
Last Christmas, using your software, I created a cookbook containing about 200 traditional family receipes (many of which had never been written down, some at least 100 years old). Then I exported the entire cookbook to text. I opened the text file in MS Word and did massive reformatting. This could be printed to make hard copies for those family members who have no computers or want something to work from in the kitchen. I purchased the product specifically for this family project and it has worked really well.
Your cookbook product is easy to use and very flexible. Thank you!
peggy trout
Thank you for your wonderful product I use it all the time. I think my computer is loaded with nothing but recipes as that is my hobby and passion Although my husband says the computer takes up less room compared to all my cookbooks.
Thanks again,
Kandi Gann
Dan,
My father ordered your Cook'n with Taste of Home program and had printed
some recipes for me.
When my son asked for me to copy some of my recipes for him I went looking
for a recipe program to use. My father had just the right program that I
needed and I ordered my own copy of Cook'n with Taste of Home.
I am making copies of our favorite family recipes for all four of my
children for Christmas. I am putting them in binders with plastic sheet
protectors so each one will have their own cookbook and plenty of room to
add more recipes.
I really like your program.
Patty Nodzak
Hey, Dan...
I e-mailed you last year (2003), asking questions about inserting the degree mark, etc., as I was puttiing my recipe collection (part of it) on 8-1/2 x 11. For Christmas 2003 I had it all spiral-bound with plastic cover fore and aft...82 pages in all, including 1 frontispiece, 1 intro, 1 Table of Contents, and 10 colored separater sheets. The remaining 69 pages were, of course, the recipes - double-sided, so that makes...what? 138 recipes? One of the favorite features was the insertion of anecdotes for each recipe. I gave twenty copies to family and extended family members - and what a wonderful reception I received! And it was all thanks to your great Cook'n program.
Now my daughter (and her friends!) are begging me to produce another. I wouldn't dream of it without your program...and, um, must confess that I've started on "Treasures II".
Again, thanks a million for a terrific program!
Shirley
I just wanted to let you know that I recieved the Cookn program for a gift and I just love it. So do my friends. They want to borrow it but I said "NO" go get your own. I just love it. Keep it coming
-Carol Paramore
Hello,
Just a note to let you know how very much I love my cook'n software. My husband and I are health nuts and we eat everything low fat. I am also hypoglycemic and have to control my sugar intake. Your software is wonderful for calculating the nutrition information for recipes. I love to cook and low fat recipes are so hard to find. Now I just find a recipe that sounds good and I can change the ingredients around reducing the oils and fats and using the software I put in my recipe as I would make it and find out if it is low enough in fat for me to prepare for us. This software has been a wonderful, useful part of my everyday cooking needs. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who needs to have a very good calculator for nutrition. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful piece of software.
Sincerely
Shelly Smith
Dan,
I'm a stay at home Mom that is trying to pinch pennies so that I can continue to stay at home.
Menu planning is key to making the pennies last, but finding time (and I only have one child-but she is a very busy 3year old!) to sit down to plan, make lists, and coupon clip is hard to come by with everything else that needs to be done in a day. I had started searching for software a year ago when I was introduced to Meals for a Month (freezer food). I was discouraged by the price of some of the software. With my daughter heading to school soon, I thought now would be the time to get organized again. I started looking for software and there you were! Now my only problem is....which one do I pick!! I love your package deals and I think I will give the gift of time to several of my friends--many have more kids than I do!
Thank you for offering a solution that gives me more time for my family and doesn't break my piggy bank! Wow! Thank you, thank you!
Micki Carr
Hi Dan,
This note is to confirm to you my enjoyment of using your Cook'n software, several programs of which I am an owner. I have my software installed on my laptop computer, which I use in my kitchen while cooking up recipes. Needless to say, the convenience of having all my recipes "right there" simplifies everything in the kitchen and makes cooking much more fun having this modern technology at my fingertips, thanks to YOU!
Sincerely,
Mary Wilson
Hi Daniel,
It was so nice to receive an e-mail from the President! I'm impressed! I love your Cook'n with Betty Crocker. This is the second cookbook software I have had and I like it much better than the last one I had, especially since I like Cook'n with Betty Crocker. That was my first cookbook in 1961 when I got married and I still have it.
When my friends want my favorite recipes, I just print them one using my Cook'n. It makes it so much easier than writing it down.
I would love to have the monthly newsletter sent to me. I have not had a chance to explore all of your recipes, but I intend to.
Gracie King
I recently purchased your Cook'n and love it! I have tried several other cookbooks but found them unsatisfactory. My main goal was to be able to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. Yours has everything! I especially love the tips when you first turn to book on.
I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!
Thank you!!
WSREHR@domain.com
Wow, finally, I can't believe it. I've looked all over for a computer cookbook that I could not only add my recipes but delete the recipes I didn't want in the book. I went to a computer store here and asked and they sent me to BEST BUY, it recently opened here. I've bought a Sierra Master Cook Cooking Light but since discovered that no Sierra programs will go in my computer. So I kept on looking and I really like Cook'n. It does all I want and will take years to see all the recipes. Thank you so much.
-Sandy Campo
While walking around Staples, I saw the Cook'n program and started reading what it had to offer. I was fascinated with everything. So, I added it to my Christmas list, and imagine to my surprise, I received it from my husband.
I was overwhelmed and thrilled with all the recipes it had. I was excited to get started using the program. I have only a few added, but with time I can add more and throw away all my wrinkled, stained, and torn recipes I have written on paper, napkins, or whatever was available.
I also received a beautiful recipe box for Christmas, and I plan on saving my recipes on disk and print some on recipe cards I hope to purchase from you in the very near future. I loved the samples that were included with the program.
I am going to tell family and friends about this program, and highly recommend it!
Sincerely,
Michelle Hoffert
I love your cook'n program. It was the only thing that I ask my family to give me for Christmas. I had A cook on my old pc. and missed a cook book as I share recipes with my friends. Now with your cookbook I can email recipes to my Daughters who I don't see often. Thank you again.
Melba Jones
I purchased you program last week and spent most of the weekend working with it. This is absolutely the best program I've come across for a kitchen utinsel. Once you get into it, it is so easy to use and performs more than one function at one time. I especially like the grocery list...saves me time and energy...
Suzie Graves
I saw Cook'n at a friend's house and really liked it; especially the nutrition and product database that comes with it. I plan to purchase Cook'n this weekend. The interface to the Palm Pilot was a key feature that swayed my decision. At my friends house we checked out your interface to the Palm Pilot (we have both recently purchased Palm V's). Your feature which allows me to download recipes and shopping lists is just exactly what I was looking for in an interface.
Thanks much.
Judy Danz
Love, love, love the software.
I was bragging about it to my mom who used to cater professionally but is now disabled and she asked where she could get so she could start her own cookbook. She has a friend who terminal from cancer and they want to record all their joint recipes before it is too late.
Thanks again for a great product!
Diane
Hi, I just purchased your program today. I bought it mainly to organize my recipes. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use. I am not surprised it took someone from Alpine to invent it!!! I am from Highland.
Thanks for a great product. DEBB
Hi,
Wanted you to know the package arrived just fine. It is by far the best cookbook software I have ever used. Works just great. Now I can get rid of my other two, your product is far superior than any I have ever had before. Going to leave feedback now.
Thanks,
Sharon
Cook'n has made my life SO much easier. Preparing a menu was always an unenjoyable task for me. This program takes the guess work out of meal planning and grocery shopping. I love that I can create a grocery list directly from the menu I save. I used to dread dinner time because I never new what to cook, now I look forward to it!
Thanks,
Rebecca
Warrenton, VA
Hello, my name is Sharon. I just bought your Cook'n program, and first I just want to say that we love it. I bought it as a gift for my mother, (something that she has wanted for a long time.) Her 2nd favorite feature is that she can add all of her own recipes. Well, she can have me do it for her. There is only one thing so far that I cannot figure out. And that is, if you want to make a recipe that makes enough for 5 people, and you only need enough for 2, how do you get that without having to figure it out yourself. Can the program do that for you? We think your program is great, and we would be grateful for your help. Thank You.
Sharon & Donna
I recently purchased "Cook'n with Taste of Home" from you. I am absolutely amazed by this software. Not only is it a cookbook, but it's a recipe library, that I can expand upon endlessly. Never before have I seen such "we thought of everything" features in a recipe software program, yet is still incredibly easy to use. I have purchased recipe software before and found the learning process cumbersome, the features disappointing and the price exorbitant. You really did "think of everything." I'm glad I found your product - it's WONDERFUL!!!!!!! I'll be watching your site regularly for new products & offers.
Thanks again for an outstanding product!
Cook'n Customer
I recently purchased your Cook'n and love it! I have tried several other cookbooks but found them unsatisfactory. My main goal was to be able to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. Yours has everything! I especially love the tips when you first turn to book on.
I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!
Thank you!!
I just got my new CD, Cook'n with Pillsbury and love it. I like not having to put the CD in every time I want to check a recipe. I love being able to add my own recipes. I have found more recipes that I use in this cookbook than I have in my other cookbooks. Thanks for always updating the cookbook. This was a great investment.
Betsy
Hi Dan- I just want you to know that I love my
new software - Taste of Home and especially Cook'n Lite & Healthy. My
husband and I have started Weight-watchers and I am finding the nutritional
information very helpful. Also I can find many of my old favorites on this
disc that are lighter versions!! We are having such fun trying all the new,
improved recipes we love.
Thanks again for making our lives easier, and healthier!!

Hello, my name is Sharon. I just bought your Cook'n program, and first I just want to say that we love it. I bought it as a gift for my mother, (something that she has wanted for a long time.) Her 2nd favorite feature is that she can add all of her own recipes. Well, she can have me do it for her. We think your program is great, and we would be grateful for your help.
Thank You.
Sharon & Donna
I started out by buying "Taste of Home" since that is one of our favorite magazines. Since that time, I have added "Cookn' with Pillsbury", "The Barbecue Bible", and "Cookn' Fix & Forget". I love them all! Keep up the great work!
Chuck Finney
I've been making two or three meals on my off days, putting them in the freezer for the days I work and the weekends. Whenever possible, I've made double of whatever to save for next month, etc. Thanks for the great recipes!
Diane LaFontaine
Thank you for making such a wonderful program!!! I use this almost on a daily basis and have already recommended it to several friends and family members.
A VERY satisfied customer.....
Lisa Fewox
A little note about Cook'n for Diabeties, my mother-in-law told me to get
my own Christmas gift from her and she would pay for it. At first I was
aggravated that she wanted me to do this. But then I was okay with it,
because I said I will order that Cook'n for Diabeties I wanted. I am using it
now, she doesn't know, but near Christmas, I will have to give it to her to
wrap for me. ha!
Janice Belcher
My husband bought me Cook'n Deluxe last week-end...with a small learning curve, I just planned next week's entire menu...this is wonderful, I have already input a lot of my favorite recipes into the program...it works like a champ!! I will be purchasing quite a few of these for "stocking stuffers" this year. No kitchen should be without this software!!!
Thanks again for this software....it probably is the best time-saver ever!!!!
Sincerely,
Cathy Crowder
My husband and I just purchased the Cook'n with Betty Crocker! I am so happy with the program!! It is exactly what we had been looking for to organize and use our recipes as well as get new recipes to try. Thank you for the great product and I will be passing the word on to family and friends!!!!
Very sincerely,
Teri Lynn Heschke
I might learn how to cook yet with all this software of yours. You can't believe how much it has helped. I've had friends come over (I'm just a single guy with a dog - but looking for the right woman) and rave about the meals I prepared for them. It's not all that hard if you just follow the directions. In the end I have to tell them my secret, it's not talent - it's your software........
Now if I could just figure out how to use the dishwasher.
John
I am here to say THANK YOU! Your software is great!!! I do feel like a part of the family. When I read the description of the software at your website, I thought it was too good to be true (the price, the ability of the software, etc.). I even called your company by telephone to ask if I understood the promotional information correctly. Upon receiving it and using it, I have discovered that every bit of it is true! (I LOVE the nutritional calculation feature!) Thanks so much for your product and for keeping it affordable, too!
I will look forward to each newsletter!
Debi Self
Thank you for making such a wonderful program!!! I use this almost on a daily basis and have already recommended it to several friends and family members.
A VERY satisfied customer.....
Lisa Fewox
I am busy typing all my recipes into the data base. I have made family cookbooks before (with pictures) and I am so thrilled that I will be able to do updates quite easily with the computer. Your recipe cards are so cute and will make GREAT wedding shower gifts (just print and done).
Thank you so much! I am in love with my new software and your company. I have already been to the web site and will be a frequent visitor.
Thanks again. You have a fan forever.
Niki Rapanos
I've owned Cook'n 2000 since 2000 when I retired. I began by installing old family recipes
and now have over 400 recipes in my file.
I am now working with a brand new computer and was faced with the problem of transferring the data.
To make a long story short, I hired an "expert" to perform this deed (I'm 81). He was unsuccessful. I emailed DVO and rec'd an answer from Holly. Along with my Texas son who had put all the data on a memory stick, I used Holly's instructions and Voila! all my material was magically imported.
Thank you. I couldn't live without my Cook'n 2000.
I needed a new computer because I've recently gotten into digital photography and my old machine couldn't support the new demands.
Thank you for caring.
Sebastian Giacco
Boy Dan, you really are a workaholic.....you and your company rocks..... Like I said before, great product.....I downloaded the demo and bought it within an hour....Keep up the great work.
-Dennis
Recently I ordered 4 modules of your cooking software and I have been enjoying it. I'm a Master Cook user for many years and I have to say you made yours more practical... Keep the books coming, I have close to 200 books but I like the convenience of the data base.My preference is gourmet, multi national with emphasis an Mexican, Italian, and Mediterranean.
Thanks for the great programs.
Hector Labra
Just recently received my first
newsletter and I really enjoyed it (especially the recipe entry demo) . Although I had figured out on my own most of what was covered, I learned a few interesting things about the software as well. One thing I haven't figured out yet (if it can even be done) is how to move from entering the ingredients to the bottom instruction portion without using my mouse. Is there a shortcut for that? I am also looking forward, with great anticipation, to the update that will include a working spell checker.
I purchased your Cook'n Recipe Organizer last month and am so excited to have found a program that does everything I wanted and so much more. I have been going through all my cookbooks, cooking magazines and my recipe file box and entering all our favorite recipes as well as recipes I want to try.
Thanks, Dan, for creating a product that is so easy to use and does so much!
Betty
I'm just starting with Cook'n this evening...adding recipes and cookbooks. It is an awesome program. I chose your program over all the others for a couple of reasons. I wanted 3 things from my program:
1. to be able to enter my own recipes
2. to be able to create weekly menus from those recipes
3. to somehow have the program magically know if I make spaghetti one night and meatloaf another that the shopping list should indicate that I need to buy 2 lbs of hamburger (vs some programs that simply said 'hamburger')
Your program does it all. An added bonus (which I have yet to play with) is the 'Send to Palm' feature!! So, I'm reading your help files and learning. Keep up the good work and know it is appreciated.
peace...
annie
I bought the Taste of Home product and have been SO EXCITED. I've been
telling bunches of people about it. I was the cook for a Girls Camp
last summer and while it was a wonderful experience, it took me clearly a
month of work to put it together. I had to find recipes, make menus, adjust
them for size, figure out how much of each ingredient to use by
consolidating the recipes, and then making a shopping list. Then when camp
was over everyone wanted a copy of the recipes!
As you can see your software does all that for me. All I have to do is type
in my menus (and input recipes if they aren't in there already) and the rest
is done for me. All I need to do is shop.
In fact I'm so jazzed, I'm using it for my family too and helping to manage
my diet by planning in advance and making sure I shop to have all the
ingredients on hand.
Thanks,
Marcia Morrow
Just to let you know I have been bragging about the Cook'n cookbook to all my friends. One of the features I always mention is the ability of the program to adjust recipes for a different number of servings. I think it is a great feature. I don't care how it works, I'm just glad you did it.
Keep up the good work.
VERY pleased with program! I cooked aboard a fishing vessel for 17 years (Cape May, NJ), feeding 5 hungry fishermen, then 15 years in B&B business cooking breakfasts for up to 15 guests. I am now the chef at a local senior center cooking lunch for 60+ people. I was apprehensive about making the transition, but the ability to change number of servings and have the recipes adjust accordingly is heaven sent and has given me peace of mind and made my meals very successful thus far. Cook"n will be used much in this kitchen!
Jody Himebaugh
I have finally gotten the chance to experiment with the software and I
wanted to let you know that you have a terrific product. I have been
recommending it to all my friends. Keep up the good work!
Jennifer C. McGinnis
Your product far exceeds my expectations! It is awesome! What a lot of work you have done.
Harlie
I used the Cook'n products last year to make my brother an heirloom cookbook/photo album for a wedding gift, it turned out beautifully! Thanks so much.
Samara Keller
I particularly like that you can enter ingredient descriptions before and after the ingredient name. It's very easy to enter ingredients. It's great that you can include another recipe as an ingredient. I also really love that I can transfer shopping lists and recipes to my palm pilot. How often have I been in the store, had an inspiration to make something other than planned, and can't remember what ingredients I need. I'm also looking forward to adding some of your cookbooks for additional recipes. I'll be most interested in recipes featuring natural, whole foods (vegetarian). I like the idea that you can add pictures. I have am planning to photograph some of my favorite recipes with my digital camera.
Again thanks for a very useful product.
Beth F.
I wanted to let you know that I did a review of DVO enterprises. You can go there and read what i wrote, if you like...here is the link:
DVO Review.
I have gotten lots of great recipe cd's from you, and Ive always loved corresponding with you...your group is always very helpful. I thought I would repay your service with a little free advertising. Dont be surprised if you get a pretty large influx of people ordering cd's from you. I've been spreading the word lately...you all deserve it!
I just hope to be able to save up a little money and buy a couple of other titles I have really had my eye on!
God Bless!
Annamarie Rutschke
Im always talking to people about you, DVO enterprises and your great software...
I used to use mealmaster, and several other recipe software programs, and I got fed up with them and gave them away...they were too much of a hassle to use, not very user friendly, and the company never responded to my emails or any other communication.
You and your company are fantastic...and I will never stop singing your praises to all my foodie friends out there!
Annamarie Rutschke
I absolutely LOVE the Cook'n software!! I use it DAILY and have told my SIL and others about it. It's really transformed how I cook. Thnx so much.
Have a great weekend.
Lynn
My wife and I love your software. We have been entering some of our family's favorite recipes and love the ease in entering them. We have so many recipe's (we ordered Cook'n Deluxe and Cook'n for Diabetes) now we'll surely be able to find something to eat.
Annamarie Rutschke
I love the program and have told a few people about it which I think will also be ordering it also. It is a very easy program to use, actually it is the best one I have found so I am very happy.
Nancy
I was impressed in '98 when I got my first CD, and continue to use it all the time. I am cooking for only one now, being widowed. You have some of the best recipes I have ever found. Thankyou for a wonderful product.
Candy Clark, Byron, WY
Thanks for the news letter im a working dad who has just recently started home cooking and i am trying to broaden my cooking possibilities and i find your program very helpfull thanks again
Mike
I read your story on your website and just ordered a Cookin' CD for my husband who loves to cook. It is a Christmas present.
Anyhow...when I read your core values...I just wanted to salute you for your convinctions...we need more companies with these core values today.
Hats off to you!
I would like to commend you for what you have done. I have been a Mastercook fan for years but any program that has no support is a dying program. Your program is a salvation for those who are serious about a cooking database. I have also been working with computers since 1953 with mechanical computers used for Naval gun fire to large mainframe computers for Unisys Corp when I retired in 1994. Therefore I know that program changes such as we talked about are not as easy as most people think.
Have a Merry Christmas (I hope you think this is political correct) and a Happy and prosperous New Year.
John Reece
Hi Dan,
I just wanted to let you know that your technician support person named Jeff is totally awesome!! I had not used my computer in several months due to being out of town for my dad's funeral and my mother-in-law's funeral. My downloads were a mess. I contacted Jeff and he cleaned up the mess and gave me valuable advice.
You should definitely be proud of him and give him a "raise". He sure knows his stuff.
Thanks for the great support.
MaryAnn Heinrich

I really appreciate it! You guys are the best! Any time I have had a problem you have been so nice and very helpful!
Thanks again,
Sherry
Hi Dan....
I just wanted you to know that I just got off of a "shadowing" support session with Jeff Hammond and he was fabulous! He was very helpful and was able to fix my problem. You have a great employee!
Thank you!
Heather James
Wow! Your customer service is excellent. This is the third time I have called with a question and had it answered immediately - no "choose number one" or "it must be a problem on your end". How refreshing! I love this company!!!
Diane C.
Dear Sir,
I want to thank you not only for a great product but for your wonderful support staff. I have had Cookn' Deluxe for several years. I bought it to help me in my Family and Consumer Sciences Classes (home ec). It is great to be able to print out a recipe and divide or multiply it for each kitchen group. I recently left the classroom to become a state supervisor with the Mississippi Dept. of Education. I supervisor over 350 teachers and I have recommended your program to many of them. Last week my office IT person was updating my computer at work and didn't realize what Cookn' was and uninstalled my program. I was at the point of tears. I had many recipes on it and thought they were gone forever. I contacted your support staff and explained what happened. The tech Jeff was able to restore my files, and reinstall the program. Thank you so much.
Dianne
WOW!!! I'm absolutely floored at what an amazing and generous company you work for!!! I've had Mastercook for years and never received any support from them when I needed it nor did I receive a single perk for being a customer. I'm singing DVO's praises to everyone!! Thanks again Barbara.
Heidi
To whom it may conern,
I very rarely contact any company (even with complaints) but I feel this one is necessary.
I contacted your customer support and Mr. Jeffrey Hammond handled my issue. Almost exclusively when I need to contact a company's support department I am usually placed in the hands of a staffer who is reading from a list of "Try this First"'s and who has very limited (if any) understanding of the product or the problem. I was pleasantly surprised to find this was not the case with your company. Mr. Hammond, it appears, is very well versed with your product and the technology. He handled my issue quickly and quite satisfactorily. I applaud your company for hiring capable technicians and not out-sourcing your technical department.
Joe K.
Hi,
I just wanted to mention the excellent support I received from Jeff who resolved an issue with your software. Although it took some time, Jeff was very pleasant and completely resolved the issue. As I've mentioned many times, the support one receives is just as important as the product. That's an attribute that seems to be missing with a lot of companies, but, happily, not yours. Thanks, again, for a great product.
Sincere regards,
Steve B.
Thank you for your timely replies. I ordered from your company via telephone. Mike took my call. He was very polite and helpful. I am a disabled veteran and can not travel very far outside of our small town.
Forrest W.
Hello Dan,
I just want you to know that Jeff did an awesome job fixing my Cookn's so that I can run it from a thumb drive. He is worth every bit of his pay, even a raise! Please do everything that you can to keep this intelligent, courteous and kind young man around. Once again Cook'n to the rescue!
Kathryn (Kay)
Just wanted to thank you so much for retrieving my cook n files and importing them to the 8.2 version. The tech who helped me was so pleasant and very efficient at getting the task completed. I know why I've liked your software so much.
Jane B.
Thank you so much...What a blessing to be able to contact DVO and get help like this!!! I am so relieved I cannot even begin to tell you...I counted that there were over 50 recipes lost AND YOU FOUND THEM....So glad I have Cook'n...
Thanks a million times (and that's not enough)
Cissy P.
I was closing my Cook'n and a reminder popped up asking for my opinion of the Cook'n product. I have written a couple times before to tell you that I love this product. At first I was a little frustrated with the printing options, but since the new upgrade I love all the flexibility of being able to print out the recipes to fit my own cookbook.
In addition to loving the product, I want to voice my gratitude for the excellent customer service I received today. I had moved Cook'n from one computer to my laptop and had some major problems. Jeff was so patient in helping me get it back to the way it was. He was very professional and helpful - and he didn't make me feel stupid!! Thank you so much for recognizing that in these hard economic times, what keeps loyal customers is the quality of customer service. Even though I'm not able to purchase new cookbooks on a regular basis, I love using the cookbooks I do have and look forward to any opportunity I have to purchase more.. I think my family and friends are sick of hearing me rave about your product.
The Fields
This is a good cooking program, and it keeps getting better. I purchased my original program in 2003, and i have been upgrading it ever since. Your excellent customer service is what keeps me coming back to enhance my program.
Phyllis
I have to admit I expected poor service and was surprised that I received excellent service. That is rare. I apologize for being so cross.
Shawna
Hi Dan,
About 9 years ago I purchased Cook n 2000 and have really enjoyed using the program especially producing my own recipe book. You can imagine my frustration when I purchased a new computer that had Vista and during the data transfer I lost all those great recipes. With the help of a friend the cook n 2000 was reinstalled and I proceeded to re enter all my recipes only to have something go terribly wrong and I lost them once again.
I contacted your help desk and was lucky enough to get Jeff who worked for hours getting the latest version of your program installed and finding those lost recipes and transferring them for me. I now have about 80 percent of my lost recipes and I am one very happy user.
I wanted you to know how committed Jeff was to resolving my problem, I even made him late for a softball game but that did not stop him from giving his all to resolving my issue. I will be with you for years to come and will let all my friends know what a great program you have and that you back it up with even greater service.
Thank you once again.
Tina
Your staff was very helpful in getting me thru the process. Bravo to the support staff. You have good staff and a good recipe program. I will continue to be tell others and support of your program. You are all blessed.
Denis
We want to write to let you know how much we appreciated the help we received from Jeffrey Hammond of your technical staff. We were getting so frustrated trying to export Cook'n recipes from one computer to another and then to import files from Master Cook. Jeffrey took the time to walk us through it step by step and was so professionally helpful. We tried doing this on our own using the help files numerous times and were not successful. What took us hours of frustration was accomplished by Jeffrey in just a few minutes. Just want to make sure you know what a valuable employee he is.
Donald & Jean Perillo
Wow, what a great surprise. Your answer so quickly and very kind. This is what should be called top service. Thanks for so much attention and being so correct. I appreciate it a lot. Will pass on the site and ask all of my friends to join too. Once more many thanks for sending me the necesary link and will be looking forward for all the surprises on the so usefull website.
Frank
Dan,
David has been a blessing to me as he lead me through my mess. I am a happy customer. He deserves a gold star right in the middle of his forehead. I can fell him squirming. :}
Best Regards,
Betsy in good ole Pittsburgh
I talked to your tech support people yesterday. David had me up and running in a matter or seconds. He was WONDERFUL!! Thanks for the follow-up. I love this program and knew there was a way to get it up and running, but not sure how. David made it look easy. He walked me through each step. I can't say enough nice things about him.
Lynn
Thank you so much for your assistance today. It was a delightful experience talking with you. I commend your company on their Customer Service which is sadly lacking in other industries. You were very pleasant and professional with a person touch. I have enjoyed my Cook'n software for many years. I think it is the greatest invention in this century.
Sincerely,
Ellen
Thank you very much. I just have to say I have been extremely impressed with the customer service I have received from your company. I have never waited more than 24 hours for a response and usually I get more than one to let me know that you are working on it. Thank you for the wonderful product and excellent customer service.
Allison
I love the support that I received from your company. There have been other companies that felt bad that I had a hard drive crash, but basically told me I should have backed up the downloads. Yeah, I get that, but I didn't...
I was actually frustrated and didn't want to contact any other company and then I found Ryan!
Ryan, thank you so much! 5 Stars to your support and customer service!!!
Connie
David,
Thanks for all the help in recovering my lost downloads after a disk crash. In this day and age when a lot of companies are basically abandoning customer service, you guys are great.
Regards,
Alan Holbrook
My bragging about DVO, Cook'n and the great technical support has once again been validated!
You are all a great team. I have had to contact you very little but each and every time I have had an almost instant response that is easy to understand, perfectly correct in every step and sent in such a way that doesn't make me feel a bother or inept.
Keep up the good work and I will continue to recommend DVO as a wonderful company that obviously cares a lot about their family of users.
Thanks again, I'm off to cook!
Peg
Dan,
I have used Cook'n for some time now. Two days ago I started having problems with my computer and thought that I had lost all the recipes that I had put into the computer for months! Needless to say I was a bit upset, but started reinstalling my Cook'n. The problem was that I couldn't see all the cook books that I had installed. David was able to help me to get them all back up when Cook'n opens. As far as I concerned this man needs a raise!!!!!!!!!!! He has saved me hundreds and hundreds of hours putting my personal recipes back into Cook'n. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate him. I hope that you keep him around for a long time. He and Barbara are some of my favorite people.
Sincerely,
Kathryn P.
Dear Dan,
I had difficulty with my Cook'n Update Organizer. After calling your support phone number I was connected to your employee, Jared. His patient help in reconciling the problems I was experiencing was not only surprising but gratefully welcomed.
As a novice computer user I appreciate people like Jared, who not only took the time, but also helped me by not rushing me as I followed his instructions.
Thank you for employing this type of person.
Sincerely,
Pam
Dear Dan and Other DVO employees!
I'd had issues earlier today trying to download one of the CD's; lo and behold, after prowling around on the
website, I found the error and how to get the book to load!
So thanks!! Y'all fixed it for me!!!
Catherine
Hi
You people are just the best. All of the problems that I have had are being helped. I never thought I could learn about moving margins in a program or downloading internet programs and have them work. Yeh for me!!!
Now, if you could give me help in cleaning my house so that I can have fun playing with my Cook'n stuff!
Thanks Again
Berie
Thanks for your help. I am totally impressed with your customer service and DVO's
Cook 'N Club. It is like working with someone in your family. Please tell Dan O. he is blessed to have you on his team.
Thanks,
Karen
I must say this is the best recipe software I have ever owned, and you guys are just the best, and that technical support is just awesome. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Rob
I will be sure to pass along to my friends & family how nice you all have been.
Kathy
Hi Dan and all staff members:
I must say that I received the best help that I have ever gotten from any program. I chatted with Barbara and David. David called me and walked me through the problems and restored the program and all my recipes.
I mentioned upgrading. He offered me a good discount. He never pushed the sale or anything.
How wonderful it is to deal with a company that puts its customers first. I love the program so much and look forward to the upgrade.
I am a happy camper.
Eleanor
Dan,
I would like to thank you for the fast action I got on a question that I had. You guys are great. I have already bought a new cookbook and plan on buying more. Thanks again. Love the recipe program.
Hugs,
Debbe
Dan,
I had recently had a computer crash and lost a lot of my files. My husband was able to restore most of it. But one of the most important things I lost was all of my recipes in my DVO Recipe Organizer. All I could do was cry...I had years of recipes that I had typed in it and just knew that I would never be able to get them back. With nothing to lose, I called your company and spoke to one of your employees. And unknown to us we did have a back up file. He was able to repair the problem and help my husband restore my recipes. And was very helpful when we called him back with a couple of other questions. I can not tell you how important his help was to us. And I just wanted you to know how professional, helpful and kind he was. I don't know what I would have done if he had not be able to help us.
Sincerely,
Jacquita
I want to commend your company and the tech support for a fine job. I love love the product and have been a customer for a long time andintend to be a customer as long as I can sit at this computer.
Sandra
Thanks to all your Team, the service is excellent and very professional. These days its rare so believe me when I say it's truly appreciated and keep it up, it's great!
Thanks again for everything,
Francine
Hi Dan,
How nice to receive a welcome letter from you! I have to tell you I am impressed. I recently had a problem with opening my cook n software program and I e-mailed your support team and they were very prompt in getting back to ( a big plus ) and the answer I received was in very easy to understand language... :) and it worked!! I now can open and use my program again. Can you imagine how happy that made me . I was enjoying the program and adding my own recipes and when I thought I lost my recipes I was upset to say the least. But your support team was wonderful! Its nice to see a company that is eager to help the consumer . Please keep up the good work that you do. I know it can't be easy to keep everyone happy but you sure do try hard!!
Thank You from a very happy customer... :)
Elaine Rock
Dear Dan,
I bought you program back in 2002 and just wanted to say how incredible this program, and your staff is. How you listen to suggestions and take care of problems. This is what makes your business what it is today. Just upgraded to the latest version, it is fabulous. Jared in tech support is amazing, is patient, listens and takes care of problems. It is great to get USA tech support with the same group of people, instead of out of the county, where is someone new each time.
Best wishes and forever success for you and your family.
Ileana Feltman
You're the best! I can't say enough about your fantastic products and your amazing customer service. I'll be sure to tell everyone how pleased I have been with your company overall. Thanks again for all of your help.
Terry Amann
Wow.....I'm as impressed with your customer service and support services as I am your software!! I easily reloaded the Cook'n Recipe Organizer on my new PC, went to the FAQ and followed the instructions to move all of my recipes and in 10 minutes I was up and cook'n again!! Thank you so much! At the hospital where I work we strive for excellence and are always looking for good examples to share! This is one story that I can't wait to share.
Thanks
Jane
Just wanted to let you know that I finished the download and ran it before taking off for work and so far seems to be working.... I thank you so much for taking the extra time to get this fixed.... Thank you Brent. Job well done.
Vicki
Dear Mr Oaks
I have used Coon N 99 since early 2000. I produced a single page, loose leaf type cookbook with recipes from the Hart family and our ancestors. My finished product is almost 3 inches thick. I keep mine in a 3 inch loose leaf binder so I can add recipes as needed. The Cook N 99 software provided an excellent means of producing my cookbook. Now all my living Hart relatives have a copy of the family's favorite recipes.
The bad news is that four or five years ago my computer "crashed" and I lost all my data in the recovery process. I recently purchased a new computer and when I tried to install the software it would not work. I contacted your company via internet and they gave me a link to download an updated version of Cook N 99. Thanks so much for your and your staff's excellent support.
Eugene Hart
Dan,
I love to cook and spend a great deal of money online buying cooking appliances and utensils on ebay and Amazon.com. I LOVE your company (based on the EXCELLANT customer service I have received in the past) and will now check to see if you carry what I am looking for when I make my next purchase.
Hats off to you for the fun, the free gift, AND helping me find another place to shop online.
Jana
Dear Dan:
I just needed to comment that your support staff is very good and efficient!
I had some problems with my Cook'n when I switched to windows Vista. They got back to me very quickly and were able to help me get it working correctly.
Sincerely,
Louise
Dan,
I read about you and your family for the first time this morning. I feel especially fortunate to be on a mailing list that introduces you, your family, your achievements, and values so vividly -- each more beautiful than the other. You are richly blessed and those in your company also. May God continue his rich blessings and please continue your web site for us who tend to build new families, friends, and values because of the faith it/you[and the likes of it/you] tend to restore. This was a superb transmittal.
Most Sincerely,

This morning I decided I would work on my phone call errands to get help with problems that I had been accumulating.
I called one company that evidently out-sourced their customer service because I had to constantly ask the representative to repeat what she had said and I completed the call totally unsatisfied with the results and experience.
Then I decided to tackle my Cook'n problems. A few weeks ago I had installed the Betty Crocker Deluxe CD and after the install only had the BC deluxe books in my Cook'n. I had lost all of the recipes that I had added. 'Woe is me!' I thought. I tried a couple of times reopening the software hoping that my recipes would be back. Didn't happen. Also a few weeks ago I was organizing my computer CDs and comparing them to the list of CDs that I thought I owned. I could not find the Cook'n Italian cd that I had listed that I had purchased. After many hours of searching for the cd and not finding it, another 'Woe is me!' escaped my lips. I had studied the support section on your website and could not find any solutions for my problem. So I decided I needed to phone for help. The phone was answered quickly (first surprise), I was asked what I needed and directed to someone who could help me. Anytime I was put on hold, which was not for more than a minute or two, it was refreshing to hear the comedy and laughter...sure beats the sale pitches and your call is important to us that I usually hear while waiting. The tech who answered, listened to my problem and said he could help me and would send me an email with the solution. Then I asked him if he could check my sales history to see if I purchased the missing cd. His history did not go back far enough so he connected me to sales. The lady there checked her records and did find that I had purchased the cd...what a relief to know that it was the cd that I had lost and not my mind. She then informed me that she would email me a new copy of these recipes. WOW! I was not believing this service I was receiving. It was so refreshing!
Within a few minutes I had both emails. Using the tech email solution, I was able to find the backup and restore my lost recipes. Whew! Then I tried to reinstall the Betty Crocker Deluxe. My problems began again. Either I could not load the BC Deluxe books or I wiped out my personal recipes again. I called back and went through the same pleasant experience getting to the tech. This time he talked me through importing the recipes from the deluxe cd rather than using the setup program. While these recipes were loading, he answered several questions that I always have during the load process. After getting the deluxe recipes loaded, I hung up and was able to download the Italian recipes.
As a result of this pleasant and refreshing experience, I wanted to let you know what a great group of people you have working for you and representing your company. Thank you for a great customer experience. It is a good thing to have a superior product but even better to have a superior support team. You should be proud!
Thank you.
Alice
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I was getting ready to call when I thought I'd check my mail first. I didn't leave a message, in my experience I usually never got calls back. But one of the reasons I chose your software was because customer service reviews were high. So I don't doubt that at all, and you have also proven that.
Thank you again and if I ever need to call again I will be sure to leave a message.

Hi: I would like to thank you for your prompt attention to my order of
silicone bakeware. Received in perfect order and have done quite a bit of
baking since they arrived! I love the product and will be using my 20% off
coupon in the next few days.
Thanks again, Deborah Duder
Thank you again for being so incredibly customer service oriented. It has made you stand out amongst the rest.
Thanks again,
Cheryl Stark
Hi Dan!
Today I received the Gingerbread House bake set I purchased from you a
few days ago. I look forward to using it. You enclosed a CD Quick & Easy
breakfast recipes, and I thank you very much. I used the coupon you
included to purchase the Cook'n for 2. I thank you for the coupon. You are
a generous man and you have a great web site. I can purchase anything from
you secure in the knowledge that I will be more than satisfied with whatever
I buy.
Say, how is that bouncing baby boy doing?.
A devoted customer, Penny Burwell
Dan,
I found your website while searching for a new pizza stone. I found a whole lot more and put it on my list for Christmas. I received the pizza stone, pizza cutter, tamale steamer, and tortilla maker. All of the products are top notch. While my sister-in-law was on the site ordering, she found things that she really liked and purchased for herself.
I would first like to congratulate you on holding true in your morals while your company grew. I really appreciate business' that put a great product out at a good value while keeping priorities that are truly important; people. I work for a multi-billion dollar company that could care less about the front line workers and have no problem telling us just that.
Thank you for doing it right. I will continue to support your website and refer it to all of my friends. Good luck and peace to you and your family in the future.
Sincerely,
Shawn Mason
Hi Holly,
Thanks for your help.
Again, let me say thanks to your whole staff -- DVO provides great customer service and support and I want to be sure you know that I appreciate it. I get tired of bad customer "service", so I am careful to always says thanks when I notice it being done well.
Thanks!
Barr
I just want to let you know that your online helper Brent was just great. He helped me out alot and helped me make a informed decision on what software would be perfect for me. You have a great staff. Thank you and I just can't wait to get it I would have purchased the overnight air but I didn't have the extra money. It took me a long time to save enough for the software. Thank you and have a bless'ed week.
Jill Mackay-Wilson
Hello,
Again, thanks for the great service. I have purchased several of the DVO CD's and do not regret any of the purchases. I recommend your site to anyone and everyone that is talking about computer based recipe programs.
In addition to being a great information source, your support is equaled by no one that I have dealt with.
Reid Vass
Hello...........
I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful product and the efficient customer service you provide to back it up.
Recently, I had two "problems", if you will, and both were taken care of expediently and without playing 1,000 questions from your customer service representatives. They were very trustworthy of me and what I told them on the telephone - which seems almost unheard of in this day and age. Most companies will not even give the customer the benefit of the doubt anymore, nor do they like to make good on their obligations to correct situations without giving the customer tons of grief.
Anyway, just wanted to pass this along to the president of the DVO company because too many times you only get to hear the negative and never enough of the positive!
Sincerely and Best Wishes on future endeavors!

Hello,
Thanks for telling me about the New Voicemale CD!! I just love this group and had ordered their collection previously. But, I always wondered how I would find out if they ever recorded another CD. I ordered their new one just now (along with some other stuff!). I do enjoy your notes and videos. I have lots of Cook 'n CDs and I also use Tickler (which I absolutely could NOT survive without!!).
Merry Christmas,
Rebecca Atwood
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My computer crashed and I lost everything. I contacted DVO support and got the opportunity to download Cook'n again at no additional charge. What wonderful customer service.
Thanks again.
Sandy Padar
Dan:
Thanks for your quick response to replacing the broken DVD that was sent with my pressure cooker (which, by the way, is an excellent product). I understand how things can happen and I judge people and a business by the way they handle such situations.
I would recommend your company to anyone.
Sincerely,
Vin Nappi
Desi,
Thank you very much for your reply, I cant wait to try it out!! Martha Stewart can learn a thing or two about how to treat people from your team!! I emailed her as well, over a week ago. Yesterday, I got a reply that basically said they are too busy to look into my question and I should put my question on their message board...which I had already done with no success. Two days after I sent you the same question, I got an answer! I can't tell you how much I love this program and the cooking support. I am a self taught cook. Cookbooks don't have answers for some of the questions I have every now and again. It is nice to know there is someone there that can help me when I need it.
Chris Lopez
Dan,
You sound like a really nice husband.and father. I am really enjoying your web site and e-mail updates. I've also tried a couple of your recipes and they went over very well, so I've put them in my "favorites" recipe file.
Hope your new baby is doing well!
Linda J. Styles
Hi there :D
I just wanted to drop you a quick email and let you know how pleased I was with Cook'n's Customer Service and especially Brent. He spent quite a bit of time with me today discussing the features, advantages of Cook'n software, as well as answering in detail all my questions.
Because of Brent I am now the proud owner of 4 of your cooking software products. Customer Service like his is unheard of in this day and age, but SOOOOOO refreshing. I hope your company continues to offer such outstanding Customer Service and I hope Brent gets a very well deserved pat on the back...excellent job done :D :D
Have a great day :D
Dan,
I ordered one of the necklaces [the free-form? style] and I am very impressed with it. I have just the right outfit to wear it with. Thank you for notifying me of this wonderful necklace and what a bargain!
Betty
Holly,
Thanks so much for your help. Everything seems to be working now. Your instructions were perfect. It is great to know that you offer this excellent support service. I am having a great time organizing my own recipes with your easy to use program.
Sincerely,
Jerry Anne Morris
Well wonder of wonders!!!
It really is ok. I just turned cook'n on again and the programs that didn't show the opening video are now showing it - all is really well :)
I am soooo sorry I was such a pain. I do think everything is perfect now and I won't have to bug you anymore. I kept a hard copy of your instructions if, heaven forbid, I ever have to reinstall everything. And I saved the .exe files of the three programs that you sent me. So I think I am set when the day comes that I have to get a new computer!
Thank you again Holly - you are absolutely wonderful. Please take care and let Dan know how very much I appreciate the customer service, and you, especially.
Gratefully,
Gigi
Your DVO cookbook software saves me time and money. The recipes are clearly
written, kitchen tested so that I know that the recipes will work and that
they will taste great too. The recipes also print out beautifully and I can
even print out a shopping list to take to the store. What more can you ask
for? You just can't get that from a printed cookbook.
Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to you, your family and to all the workers behind the scenes at DVO.
Mary Ann Campbell
I've had Cook'n Deluxe for 5 or 6 years and have always been thrilled with what it has to offer. If I've ever had a problem with the program, you have helped me immediately and corrected the problem. Thanks for having such a great company. Your Christian based philosophy is evident with all my transactions with you!
Thanks, Paula
Absolutely love your product. I'm thinking about adding a class on DVO cooking to be offered through our local community college.
Dorothy Rivett
Thank you, Dan!
I have already had the pleasure of experiencing your top-notch customer service, and am now enjoying my software very much. I am happy to be doing business with you.

Mary Jane
Hello,
I just wanted to say you guys are great, I really enjoy reading your DVO issues. I just wondered when the February one is coming out. I would really like to see it. I can hardly wait from month to month. Thanks for all the great recipes, and for your time.
Sincerely,
Angie
Hi Dan!
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your product and your assistance! I look forward to reading the newsletter...and wish you the best in developing your business. This is a GREAT product!
Best wishes,

Dan,
I want to recognize Holly in your Support department for the customer care she has done in helping me convert from MicroCookbook to Cook'n.
I recognized a few months back that my MicroCookbook was running out of gas and I needed to convert to another software. However, there was no simple conversion programs available due to the age of my software. I sent out E Mails to several different recipe software companies requesting assistance on converting to their software but Holly is the only support person that responded in a positive manner. She said " I can do that for your". What a relief! It saved me from starting over again rekeying my recipes.
Her attitude reminds me of my days in IBM when we made that extra effort to ensure that our customers were happy.
An ex IBMer,
Bob
Dan,
I just want to thank you for the Mother's Day message and say it's the little things you do such as this that won't let me stay away. You don't run your business on a stingy budget, but invest in the smaller cost ways to become a much more effective enterprise. I appreciate that along with what your website stands for. It's refreshing to see someone out there doing business that hasn't lost the moral fabric our country used to be made of.
Thank you.
Karen
Thank you!!!!
I've been waiting and wondering if you'd do a Cook'n Mexican. It's one of my favorite foods! Once more, you have a fantastic website, cookbooks, products and newletters. Love it, Love it, Love it! A big THANK YOU!
Carol

Dan,
My new business partner (my niece) and I are looking for software to help us organize and analyze recipes that we'll be using in our new entr�e preparation business that is opening in June. Angela happened to come across your website, and it appears that this software may be just what we're looking for. What really caught my eye, though, was your bio. Angela is the mother of three young children and family values are extremely important to both of us. I am also impressed with what seems to be your high level of integrity. I'm praying tonight that we can maintain the same level of focus and not let the "almighty dollar" claim our souls.
Thanks for the inspiring story of your real success.
Sincerely,
Gayle
Thank you for contacting me.
I actually just purchased a new computer and had to load in the program again. I have used Cook'n9 for years and enjoy it. I also appreciate the free updates.
God bless!!
Jacque Fuller
Hello Dan,
I just wanted to drop you a note to say I was very impressed about the quick
and curtious response I received today. This was the first time I've ever
ordered something online AND did an online chat for service. Brent was
helpful. If this is any indication of my future business with you and your
company, it will be enjoyable.
Thank you.
Thank you for the best laugh I've ever had! I listened to Don's Song
today, and I've been cackling like a hen ever since .... my husband's
name is Don, and I made him listen to it, too. (Not that he looks
anything like the guy in the song, but it was still a scream!) If
laughter is the best medicine, well I'll be so healthy!
Thanks again,
Karen Erb
I had changed computers, 1 had win2000 and am now running WinXP. I tried to transfer the program over and wouldn't work. Your employees helped and everything is normal.
Thanks!!!
Dear Mr. Oaks,
I have called your tech support this week to help me out with the software. Just wanted to let you know that your staff is wonderful! Both people that I spoke with were so pleasant, patient and knowledgeable. They had to practically hold my hand thru correcting the problem because of my lack of computer skills, which they did very kindly. I hope you appreciate what good people you have working for you, I certainly appreciate them & their great help to me. My software is working beautifully now thanks to them.
Thank you.
Deb Leclerc
This is just a note to say Thank you!!
Some time ago I bought and religiously updated Cook'n Deluxe (Version 6.0) mainly for preserving family recipes. Last night something zapped my surge protector and corrupted the recipe files. I lost access to all recipes. Fortunately I had uploaded my backup files to my broadband on-line storage file just a few days before.
Now, I know only enough about computers to get myself in trouble, but with only moderate problems I was able to uninstall, reinstall and download my backup files and I'm back in business.
Continuing to offer the updates is above and beyond the service that most companies offer.
Thank you
I was having trouble getting all my Master Cook in with my Cook'n until I discovered a very simple thing and after that it all went smooth as silk. It had to do with the recipe names. If they were too long then you couldn't import the book in one fell swoop. When I went back and edited the title of the recipe and made it shorter everything went in like a charm and all 31 books are now a part of my Cook'n. I am so glad that Cook'n is here to stay and the recipes are so easy to scale to just 2 especially at our age. But if the kids are here then I can scale them to 14 or 15 with no problems. Flexibility at this point in our lives is a big help.
By the way the instructions that Holly Hill sent to help me with this were a terrific help.
Thanks Loads!
Margia Prince
Dear Dan,
Imagine my suprise when I went to the front door today and found a package from you with three items in it! Thank you so much for the Cookin With Kids software and Bible Reference Library. That was really terrific of you to donate these items for our school.
Thank you again for your thoughtfulness.
God bless you,
Andi Elliott
OK, after 3 days of looking at your product, and Brandon 's quick responses to my emails (thank you!), I purchased your organizer program, plus the veggie and smoothie recipe books.
I've used Mastercook for close to 5 years now, and I love your product! Its far easier to navigate, and much easier to use!
I'd love to see the ability to add videos to future releases. I've got some cooking DVDs and would love to add clips from those recipes to my own cookbooks.
My wife and I would love to see a Vietnamese recipe book (heavy on the vegetarian please!) and a vegan raw foods book too!
Thanks for a great product!
Bob
THANK YOU
for your "Dan's Club". You have saved my Christmas!
I am going to order the Snickerdoodle mixes for my neighbor gifts and the fit n forget for my relatives, and I might even have enough budget leftover for Santa to come!! :)
I just wanted to take a minute and thank you so very much for this idea.. I have so many of my mothers recipes that have been written down.. What a great idea for sharing these memories...I probably won't get them all done this year but that gives me a whole year to do them.. Again thank you so very much for sharing this.. A very Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year to you and your family...
Claudia Ashley
Merry Christmas Dan,
I would like to thank you for the enormous pleasure I get each month when I receive your Home Cook'n Newsletter. It is filled with delicious recipes, techniques and excellent tips. Kathy's demo's are always fun to watch and very helpful too. So far, I have been very happy with every recipe that I have tried. I also have a couple of your programs that I have enjoyed using. With each Newsletter, I learn something that I didn't know. It may be a tip or a technique, but mostly information from you on using the computer. I need all the help I can get there. I do thank you again for sharing.
I wish you and Kathy the very best of Holidays and a New Year filled with Love, Hope and Happiness.
Happy Holidays,
Ann

I must let you know how much I am pleased to get your email. For some reason I already feel that I am part of a big family who really cares. I love you for your friendly thoughts and the suggestions about making a family cookbook. That is just what I want to do for my three grandaughters. They are still young, but maybe if I get started now, I'll have it finished by the time they get married. That is a great idea, when I print a recipe, I can just print four.
Thank you for making me feel good about my purchase.
Dewana Butler

Excellent.
I am so excited about your program. And again, I appreciate you answering my question. I asked you the same question I previously asked another vendor, from them I only received an automated answer, which in no way came close to answering my question. This alone sealed my decision.
You have a wonderful website.
Thanks!
Hi, Dan...
I just want you to know how VERY impressed I was the first of last week
when I actually 'talked' with YOU on your website and you answered all
of my questions about this recipe organizer. As you know, I ordered it
immediately and received it last Friday. I am really excited about this
software. I have been trying to find - forever it seems - a program to
do just exactly what this software does...allow me to enter my own
recipes - not just get someone else's recipes. This is really a lot of fun!!
I've already ordered another Recipe Organizer from your company for a
Christmas gift, and I just know it's going to be greatly appreciated!!
Just wanted to personally thank YOU!! You're right...it's highly
unusual to be able to reach the president of a company...and it 'ups'
the integrity of your company to an extremely high level in my estimation.
Sandy Phillips
I have been a faithful follower of your newletters and have benefited immensly from them. This comes from someone (me) who has been cooking for 55 years. Your latest letter concerning
pressure cookers is "out of this world". You have answered so many of my questions. Thank you, keep up the good work. It is nice to know a "giver". There are so many "takers" in the world.

Doris of the customer service department at DVO made such an effort to get me my order on time (considering I was a little late in ordering on my end and was in somewhat of a time crunch) I felt as if I was one of the most important people that have ever order from you. She went above and beyond her call of duty!! If all of the employees at DVO are even half as good as Doris is at her job than you have a great staff. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi!
I saw your comment in the help file under Unit Information. I use units all of the time in my recipes. I love it. Friends and family members give us recipes all of the time that serve 5-6 people. There are only 3 of us (and we split meat dishes), so the automatic conversions are great!
I use the unit information quite extensively around the holidays to make my baking shopping list. I put my cookie and brownie recipes into a "week menu" and multiply it by the number of servings I need to generate my shopping list.
Thank you for all of the hard work you put in on it. As a programmer myself I know it's not always fun!!!
Thanks,
Tonya Miller
Carmela came to us with a problem and we were able to quickly address it and solve the problem. Here is what she had to say:
Fantastic, it works!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the both of you
and everyone at DVO that fixed this glitch. Now I feel more comfortable to
start adding my own recipes. Have a great day.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Psalm
118:24 (NIV)
I appreciate Dan's commentaries on the videos. You and Kathy seem like such real people. I feel like you have invited me into your home every time we watch a recipe video. We laughed as you were telling us your two "turkey tragedy" stories - your mom sounds like a fun woman!
On this Thanksgiving we thank Jesus for YOU! Your software and teaching videos have help me to provide excellent meals for my family and helped me to be able to run our household of seven more smoothly. I have a friend who is now hooked on Cook'n after I shared it with her and I will be telling more people about it so they can be blessed too. Thank you again.
Sincerely;
Mrs. Michael Brimhall
What is there to not like about your company and programs.
The recipes are great and a sidebar comment is how helpful the tickler program is. I use it exclusively for birthdays, anniversaries and every other important family date. This program definitely works for me. As for the excellent recipes you make available for the "world" is amazing. I download many of the recipes and as time permits enjoy trying on my family. Some recipes are there to just enjoy reading. I am a 63 year old man that enjoys cooking and yes reading cookbooks and therefore RECIPES! Please keep up the great work.
Bill Harris
Thank you so much for your quick response in converting my recipe files. What a relief, since I had over 200. I had to make a couple corrections, but it was definitely a time saver. I have been using the old version of Mastercook for a while, but with the newer computers it won't load onto them. So I researched and found out about cookn'. I am enjoying it as I am learning it. Your excellent customer service was a great addition to the new software. Thanks again.

AMAZING AND COMPELLING STORIES
Mr. Oaks,
I don't know if it is really you that reads the emails sent to this address, but I hope that is the case. So often, the only time I'm in contact with management or the owner of a company is when there is a problem. That is not the case this time. I had to take a few minutes to let you know how much I truly appreciate your entire staff, specifically Peggy Keele.
I first purchased by Cook'n software several years back and found it to be life altering. That is no exaggeration. My family went from mostly frozen meals to mostly nice, balanced, home cooked meals. I can't begin to tell you how something as simple as having a menu reduced the stress in my life.
We had one incident when my computer crashed and I lost my Cook'n software. I emailed customer support and fully expected to be told I'd need to purchase it again. Instead, I got a nice email in less than an hour with a new download link.
My husband is active duty in the Navy so we move frequently. Just weeks after our last move, I gave birth to our 4th child. Just six weeks after that, my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. To further give you an idea of how chaotic life got, I should tell you that our oldest child is both Autistic and mentally retarded. Dinner turned into a hurried time fueled with whatever could be quickly slapped together or heated in the microwave.
I'm happy to say that after chemo my husband is in remission and was able to remain on active duty. One thing at a time, we've been slowly putting life back to �normal�. It has been a very stressful few weeks and today I decided that, if nothing else, I was going to get the Cook'n back up and running to return dinner to the family time it should be.
The computer I last used Cook'n on had broken and other than powering up is useless. I spent all day trying to figure out how to move the Cook'n software to my newer computer. I was getting so stressed that I was near tears. I finally went to the website and clicked on live chat. That's when I was connected to Peggy Keele. She likely just thought she was just doing her job but really, she was just the kindness I really needed today. She told me she'd need to verify my purchase but I had trouble even telling her what email we had when I purchased it. She was so kind and patient. She found the three titles I had purchased and quickly sent me links to download Cook'n to my computer. It may sound a bit dramatic but this simple act of patience and kindness from her just meant the world to me. She likely has moved on to helping the next customer without realizing what a difference she made, but I will smile with the memory of her kindness every time I open this software. Please express my gratitude to her.
I simply love this software and never tire of telling people about it. Thanks again for your time and efforts.
Respectfully,
Brandi
Hi Dan,
Just wanted you to know what a fine software you have, as if you didn't know already, LOL. I have diabetes and have lost both of my legs below the knees and your software lets me get all of the nutritional facts so I can adjust my insulin pump. It came in handy when I had to lose 125 pounds. I have created my own cookbook with the help of Cook'n. There are so many great features that the other recipe software's does not have. I could go on forever just talking about all the great features, but that is not even the best,you have the greatest staff, always nice and pleasant and ready to help out, they are always there for you. The technical support, they have help me greatly and guess what, they all speak English. You don't have to try to figure out what they are trying to tell you. I have never got off the phone with them and my problem not fixed. I have both of the Diabetes Cookbooks and they are GREAT. Buy the way, I have running prosthesis and I am able to run again. I just wanted to say thanks for helping me stay on track. Every little thing helps when you have certain challenges. Keep up the good work and thanks again for such an awesome software.

Hi Dan,
I just wanted to write a special thank you for your Cook'n recipe cookbook maker.
We are like many other families this year and are struggling this holiday season. But once I received my Cook' n software, I decided to gather all the recipes I had on index cards, and scrapes of paper. There were many family recipes from family members who are deceased. Due to this wonderful, easy to use software, I decided to make my four children,granddaughter and best friend there own family cookbook for Christmas. I just finished putting all six books together this morning and am so proud that I am giving them something very special and after Christmas, it will be a gift utilized for years to come.
I especially want to thank your support tech, Jared, for all his help when I ran into some technical problems. He was absolutely wonderful and never made me feel stupid related to the questions I asked. Also, the receptionist on your team were great as well, always forwarding my problems to your support person.
Happy Holidays to you, your family and the great people at Cook 'n.
Regards,
Marilee
Dan,
Late one night I could not fall asleep (as usual back then) and I was tuned into the Home Shoppping Network Kitchen Clearance segment. I thought that Cookn sounded worth giving a try, and BOY WAS IT!
Although I rarely use the recipes, I input my own everyday, and what a shock to see how many calories, and how little nutrition, I was bringing in. I've lost 21 pounds so far, and I've never felt healthier. Cooking for my entire family is never a problem anymore, no crazy fractions to do in my head--everything is there. Thank you so much for such a great, helpful product.
Thank you,
Tiffany R.
Hi Dan,
I looked at so many of the "Make your own Cookbook" programs, before I could decide on the right one for me. I just bought cook' recipe organizer, because my friend in Florida recommended it. When she told me when I entered a new recipe, it would figure the nutritional values. That is good because I am a Diabetic. I knew that this is exactly what I wanted.
I just wanted you to know how thrilled I am to have it. Sign me "a satisfied owner"!
Barbara Jones
Hi Dan,
It IS fun being a cook'n club member. I love your emails...I love your "deals"...and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your products!
Hope you are doing well.

Dear Dan,
I just wanted to Thank you, I have finally had a chance to work with your Recipe Organizer. It seems that I finally found a program that give me just what I have been looking for in a Recipe planner.
I think I need to explain, we are full time RV's. We have sold our home and for the last 4 years have lived in our RV a 35 ft Class A Motorhome. When we were raising the children, we cooked a lot and I had a very large cookbook collection. But all of that had to go when we moved into our Motorhome. We have a rule, when something new comes in, something old has to go. Needless to say, there is no room for my cookbook which I loved.
I do have my computer and I have tried several recipe programs. I really have not liked any of them. But I do like yours, it does what I need, and you can't ask for a better cookbook then Betty Crocker or Pillsbury.
There are over 1 million of us full time RV's now, and the number is growing everyday.
We are retired but we work as Managers of a RV Park, A lot of the full timers still work, some are construction workers and their wifes. By living in an RV, the wifes and yes even the children can travel with dad and be together . Then there are just the snowbird. The one thing we all have in common is that we have to eat.
Most of us have laptops so we can keep in contact with the family and friend. And most RV parks and even State Parks have WIFI internet now. So you have solved a problem that we all have. It is boring eating the same old food everyday. Your program it the best I have found . I will be sharing your web site with other RV'er and Friends. Thank you.
I wish I could have all your cookbook but I can not afford it all at once. So I will add one or two a month and as you add more.
BTW your support person, I think his name was Brent, is great and I really appreciate the help he gave me. Also Brandon was a big help, when it came to what cookbooks I got at first.
Thank you again,
Judy Kay Ralph-Hill
Dear Dan,
A few months ago I purchased "Cook'n"......I have been organizing all my mother's, my grandmother's, and my recipes into this program, and have made 4 " Family Cookbooks" to give to my children this Christmas. This is the gift that I am the most excited about giving this season. I know how much it will mean to them.
I am going to ask all my children to give me their favorite recipes, and I am going to make another "Family Cookbook" with a section for each of them to share their favorite recipes.
This was such a fun project......everybody who loves to cook, should have "Cook'n" .........
It was soooooo easy to use....
Thank you for making something so wonderful available.

Hello...
My name is Elane and I live in a Senior Apt in Manti... just two blocks from the Manti Temple. I can't remember how I found out about your Website.. but I have really enjoyed it. You've included news on your parents as well as your own growing family. I've enjoyed their Mission News.. and congratulations on your newest little one.
I just read your page describing "DVO" .. and I am pleasantly impressed. As of today, I will email DVO information to a few of my friends. I firmly believe in the family unit.. but so many family units fall apart..so I admire the work you are doing in promoting togetherness.
My income is very limited.. or I would have to order several items from you... including a pearl necklace. I look forward to your "Cook'n Newsletter".. Please keep up your good work.. One day an extra dollar will come... and you will hear from me again.
Thanks for all you do..
Elane
Dan,
You don't know me from Adam; I have bought a few of your software products.
I am writing simply to say how much I respect and appreciate your company values as listed below. I spent about 15 years in Arizona, and had much contact with the LDS. Although I am not able to profess the religion personally, I sure acknowledge that many of its principles are of the highest nature. As, for example, the importance placed upon the importance of the family.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for a breath of fresh air.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed your
Dutch Oven clip!!!!!
Thanks for a breath of fresh air,

Dear Mr. President Dan,
I am a 68 year old who just learned how to cook about 4 years ago. I am also a computer freak. So that makes me loving your software, especially when I can increase the ingredients to feed the 14 women in my quilting group. Amazing how neat increasing the recipe works. You have done an unbelievable job on this software. On my little fixed income I really feel that I did well spending the money. My senior friends envy me because they are not computer smart enough to download anything and are afraid to trust anyone on line for fear everything they own will be stolen. I can hardly wait to learn all this program and of course to see all the new stuff I am sure will be coming. I have had a couple of problems already, but your staff helped me right away. I am playing your video over and over until I get it all down. Anyway, enough of this jabber. I guess all I really wanted to say was, Thank You and to let you know that you do have a market for the good old senior citizen. Some of us are still with it.
Best wishes for more Cook'n success,
Jeanne Petti
Dear Dan,
I just wanted to write and thank you for providing us with such a great product! My oldest son recently got married, and my sister-in-laws, mother-in-law and I put together a "Favorite Family Recipes" scrapbook as a shower gift for my new daughter.
The Cook'n software made the whole project so easy! We used copies of family photos for the "chapter" titles (2 year old faces smeared with cake for the Dessert chapter). It really is quite a keepsake.
There are 14 grandchildren in our family, and only the oldest 2 are married, so it's great knowing that we have such a wonderful gift just waiting to be thrown together!!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Carla
Hello,
I ran across your software today, after waking up feeling depressed that I'm not doing anything "good enough". My husband and I, like you and your wife, are growing an ever expanding business. It takes so much energy and focus, and many times, actually in cycles, I feel guilt over not having enough time with my children. I feel that their growing up so quickly (they're 7 and 3 1/2 years old) and one day, I'm going to blink, and our time together will be gone.
I have put on about 10 lbs. in the last year and my husband has put on about 5 lbs., from catching dinners through drive-thrus. Luckily, my children are active enough to not show external signs of "fast food over-consumption", although I'm sure, with much guilt, their internals tell a different story. We will eat our fast food at the dinner table, trying to maintain family values. But the food is not healthy.
I know it sounds cliche, but I really feel like we as women, and even men, are being pulled into too many directions in today's world. There is not enough time to do everything that needs to be done. I am traditional and feel that a mother's first priority is to her family, but this thinking doesn't stand up so well in today's society. Raising my children and nurturing my family is the only "job" that is truly important to me. They need me in so many ways, and I'm not meeting up to me self-expectations. I feel like I'm failing.
When I read your DVO enterprises bio, I laughed when I read "to my wife's dismay", because as the wife of an entrepreneur, I immediately understood what that meant. You've been supported by her, but also have probably been through moments where you're wife has felt like everything has come to a head, and just can't take it anymore. But she still supports you. I might be wrong, but this is how I've been for 3 1/2 years, since my husband opened his business. I'm supportive, then overwhelmed, then supportive, in cycles.
Then when I read the following:
The family unit is the most basic and fundamental organization in any society and the best environment in which to develop physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually healthy people
I got chills. It is good to know there are others that feel this way.
I applaud the business you continue to create. I didn't know anything like your software even existed, and I've been a wife for eight years, and a mother for seven. I feel entirely too unorganized in my life and often feel if I could just get organized, life could run so much smoother. I could be so much more efficient, and thus have more time with my family. This software will free up so much time with meal planning and shopping, thus leaving me more time with my family. And I don't have to deal with "drive-thru guilt". I think there is a great, un-tapped industry in making women's/mothers lives more manageable and more efficient. I hope this is the direction your business continues to grow. I didn't realize there was help out there.
Thank you.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Shannon

Hello
I purchased this book when I was in treatment. It is the most wonderful cook book I own. I have recommended it to many others and they too have found it benefical. Thanks for adding this to your offerings.
Survivor of 4 years
Well, Dan,
let me tell you about my story with a family cookbook. I was at home for my Mom's 79th birthday in Sep. 2003 and had some time to just sit with her and talk. She started pulling stuff out of the closet and showing it to me. One of the things she brought out was a box of her writings that she shared with me. The bottom of the box held a stack of hand written recipes that she had collected since high school, some were from friends, some from food boxes, and one was even from her great grandmother and probably dated previous to 1880. I asked her why she had done this. She told me that she had the dream of some day publishing a cookbook, but she allowed that it would probably never happen now because she could not afford it. She had photos, poems, essays, short stories, and had even written a preface to go with all the recipes. No one in the family knew that she had worked on this and no one knew that she even had the recipes. All of the recipes were things we ate growing up, sort of a "Best of Hannah Family Food". My reaction was, "We can't let this get away, it is like a family historical document." So I told Mom that she was right, publishing a bound book probably was not going to happen and asked her if she would consider an alternative, namely computerizing it, putting it on CDs and passing it out to every one that wanted it in our extended family. She was not real enthused about it, but she finally said she would go through the recipes and send me some. She wouldn't let me take any because she was afraid she might not get them back. After I got home I printed some recipes from Cook'n and sent them to her for examples and forgot the whole thing. Three months later I got a heavy envelope in the mail and could not figure out what Mom was sending me. When I opened it, there were photocopies of half her recipes. The rest of the recipes came about six weeks later. I spent lots of evenings between January through early April entering recipes. My summer work is crop consulting for farmers. When that started in mid April, I estimated I would still have to work evenings on data entry all of September to get the project done in time for her 80th birthday on Sep. 30. Come September I spent most of a week entering recipes and the other documents, then printed the cook book and put it into a nice notebook. I burnt data CDs and gave them to my three brothers and told them they would have to get Cook'n software to use the cook book. I'm not taking any chances though, I have three Cook'n softwares that each will get for Christmas. Next each grandchild and the families of each of Mom's siblings are going to get a copy.
Mom really liked the cookbook, but I don't think she quite knew what to make of it. For one thing, I don't think she ever quite expected to see it happen. For another, I don't think she had ever had anything like that happen to her in her life. Now she is asking and telling me that she really did not get everything that she wanted in it and is wondering if she can add on. No problem, Mom, we can just keep on adding and burning new CDs. Keep them cards and letters coming. My brothers liked it; one especially thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Since then I have visited a 95 year old aunt and discovered she has recipes from my grandmother in my grandmother's handwriting. I have taken pictures of those and plan on entering them this winter. The next step will be to contact some of the other senior family members and see if they also have some family treasures. Then I plan on putting out a comprehensive family cookbook for my first cousin's families.
The most interesting thing about this for me, as a male, has been the discovery of an unsuspected network among women that centers on recipes. I just marvel when I am working on these recipes and frequently see marginal notes attributing a certain recipe to a family friend or a relative who has been dead fifty or more years. Seldom would men have any comparable connectedness in their experience.
Thanks for your product that made this experience possible for me.
Sincerely,
John Hannah
Dan,
I have been working on that very project for several weeks now. I have two daughters and have been wanting to copy my recipes for years and haven't found the right software until I found yours. I wanted something I could use to type my recipes and then print them. I also wanted some recipe cards that already had a design so I wouldn't have to use all my color ink printing them. I gave your website to a lady in my Bible study this morning and she was excited about doing the same thing. I bought 3 notebooks and assorted 4x6 recipe cards and plan to give the notebooks filled with all my best recipes to my daughters for Christmas. The section on the recipe cards designated for "description I used to recall funny stories and memories about certain recipes. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found you. Thanks for all your hard work in developing the Cook'n software. You'd better hire more people because this is a great product and I know word of mouth will bring you ever increasing business.
Thank-you and Happy Holidays,
Terry Moss
Hi Dan,
I too recently finished a recipe book using your Cook'n software. This is something I have been wanting to do for many years and finally got started in January 2004. It took me until June to enter and edit the 569 recipes that I have been accumulating from family, friends and magazines my entire lifetime and now finally I have all my favorite recipes on one place.
First I created my own cookbook on Cook'n; then with the help of Holly, I printed it to file where I sized the pages and put the book into chapters. I ended up with 20 chapters and for each chapter divider page, I did a "family tree" in photo form beginning with my grandparents and ending with friends. Upon researching printing costs, I concluded it was not cost effective to have it professionally done and so I continued this as a "do it yourself" project. I bought a piece of software which converted my Word document to book form and then proceeded to print it myself using two home printers. Then I borrowed a paper cutter and cut all pages in half, bought some binding combs and with a borrowed binding machine, completed my books. After more hours than I care to think about, I am very pleased with the final product.
I dedicated my recipe book to my granddaughter, the newest cook in our family and each family member will receive one for Christmas. It was indeed a labor of love. I am already beginning the Addendum!
I just thought you would like to know what your Cook'n software program started. And, although I now have my own cookbook, I continue to use your recipes.
Happy Holidays to you all!
Dan,
You are such a sweetheart....and thanks to the new software I got from you...my fiance's blood glucose is now normal...thanks to all the new recipes I am making!!!
I have been sending your website to everyone I know...and bragging up a storm about you and DVO.
Are you kidding????? As someone who frequently cooks for 60-70 people I'm constantly converting units. I've wanted a program like this for a LONG time. Just never ran across one until last night. I have this one cookbook that is absolutely worn out from me flipping pages converting cups of flour to lbs of flour and cups of sliced apples to lbs of apples to buy. I've had programs that would enlarge a recipe, but didn't provide a way to convert those units. I have no doubt that writing this program was not easy. But man am I glad that you did!!!
I'm also very interested in the nutritional analysis of dishes, and have often wished that I could check out the analysis on some of my old favorites. It looks like to me that this program might just let me do that too. I'll have to check on that the first recipe of my own that I add. I can't wait!!!! I'm worse than any kid Christmas morning with a new toy.
Thanks for the new tool (toy) I'm really going to enjoy this!!!!

After recommending Cook'n to his students for several semesters, Professor Bergquist requested a discount on an evaluation copy of the newest version of Cook'n for his University class. We sent him several copies for free.
I would like to thanks you for your recent donation of DVO software to the Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism program at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. It is only through such partnerships that we are able to prepare the next generation of hospitality industry professionals.
I will make it a required resource for students enrolled in my summer Quantity Food Production course. I know the quality of your software will be remembered by the students long after they complete this course.
Again, thank you for the software!!
Respectfully,
Brian C. Bergquist Ed.S. C.F.E.

Hello Mr. Oaks,
I just bought your product today called Cook'n - it's FANTASTIC. However, I am now looking at your web site and see Coon'n Lean - boy I wish I had seen that first, I would have bought it instead.
The reason I bought the product is because I am in a nutrition class, and I have a huge project to put together that would analyze all the nutrients, give recipes, and stay within the DRI's (daily recommended allowance). To do this would take me a month, and your software takes minutes - seconds. I had only planned to use the software until my project was complete - not now. I hadn't expected your program to be so fantastic.
As a matter of fact I consider it lucky. I went to my local computer store and they were having a customer appreciation day. So I registered for their free gifts, and while I read every nutritional analysis program, my name was called and I won a color printer from Xerox. So I got two great things today.
I have bookmarked your site and look forward to reading all about your company.
Thanks,
Theresa Winslow

Hi there!
Wow! You people really are cook'n!
I didn't realize you had so many programs to offer. This is wonderful! We have your Cook'n, Cook'n9, and your Kid's Cook'n that my son has used in his homeschooling.
I am very much interested in your Cook'n, Lean Cook'n, and Diabetic Cook'n. I would like to use them when I plan the menus for our Women's and Men's healing houses that is a part of our church ministries. We are beginning a foster care program for senior citizens and the Lean and Diabetic Cook'n would be a great addition.
I have worked with your programs for some time now and am pleased with the new features that you have to offer.
Our ministries are run by donations. With the shopping list feature on your programs it makes it easier for us to submit our needs accurately to the grocers that give us food to feed our people.
May God bless you and your neat business!

I have been very ill and in a lot of pain for about ten years. I feel better
but the pain is still here and always will be. I had this program and
started to look at it more and more. I decided to install it and start
taking a look. I have always loved to cook and some of the best recipes
around are in your cookbook. I have started to cook again and it has helped
me mentally and given me back some of the joy that I used to enjoy in my old
life and within the limits of what I am allowed to do now. I intend to buy
all of the cookbooks and install them but needless to say I will have to buy
them one at a time when I can.

My mother and I live together and having two women in the kitchen is tough. We had the Sierra MasterCook software and decided to get organized. We spent several hours going through our pantry and entering the stuff into the "OTHER SOFTWARE". After entering over 100 items, I clicked on the button that said "WHAT CAN I MAKE" and all it came up with was Sugar Water and Pita chips. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT.
We went to the local CompUSA and purchased your software. What a difference! The quality is great! I especially love the videos, tips, and the CEO! There are so many great recipes here. I can't wait to get started cooking.....AND yes, I did read the text about conversions and you are right it can get very complicated. However, you made it easy for us to understand. I also, appreciate the humor and the bloopers.....
Thanks again,
Alicia A. Rexrode
I am a blind amateur cook, and I just wanted to let you know that the software, Cooking with Gooseberry patch is great. It makes life as a blind cook so much easier. My wife purchased it for me as a birthday gift, and we both love it. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Keith Steinbach
As a testimonial, I love the program. My husband had a heart attack two years ago and we are on a heart-healthy diet. I have made my own cookbook and added the healthy recipes we like. If you could see all my recipes, I have really made a system. I added astericks to indicate certain things (that only I know) and put a main ingredient as the first word so that all those will come up together (I know I could use search, but this seems to work better for me). Also, I have organized "diet recipes", "get together recipes", "freezer recipes", etc. into categories. Very easy. I have really used this software and would heartily recommend it to anyone.
Teresa Blackmon
I'd like to tell you why I bought your Cook'n program, and how much
it has meant to us. It was 2 years ago last fall that the doctor told Glenn
(my husband) "If you don't get your cholesterol numbers down, it's not a
matter of IF you die of a heart attack -- it's WHEN." This news scared me
to death! Glenn had been on medicine to lower his cholesterol, and I'd
believed it was under control until I learned this. He brought home some
papers about what he should & shouldn't eat, but it left me confused. So I
made an appointment to talk with his doctor and find out more about what I
could do at home. I learned that not only was his cholesterol dangerously
high, but his blood sugar was borderline diabetic. (Both of his parents
died of heart failure, and his mother was also diabetic.)
Glenn had to go on a low-fat, low-carb, low sugar diet. I left the
doctor's office learning that he could have no potatoes, no rice, no pasta,
no bread or anything else made with much flour, some vegetables should be
limited and corn avoided, limited low-fat dairy, only the leanest of meats,
seafood is good (which I'm not too fond of) and rather than cream bases,
tomato bases are a good substitute (which Glenn isn't crazy about.)
When I returned home, I told Glenn, "Well honey, my cooking job is
going to be really easy from here on out. I'll just boil us some cardboard
3 times a day!" I love to cook and make up recipes, but this was too much
at once -- I felt defeated. Hopeless. Lost. The next day my stubborn
streak was kicking in again, and I decided to get on the internet and search
high-cholesterol diet solutions and then search the same for diabetes. I
spent the next 2 or 3 days reading facts, tips, solutions and printing a few
recipes from the various sites. Finally I ran across the biggest help of
all -- in a blog left by another reader, she mentioned 2 computer programs
(Cook'n was one) where you could enter your own recipe and it would compute
all the nutritional values so you could see exactly how good or bad your
favorite recipes were!
I immediately researched both programs, bought yours, and the rest
is history. With my love of creating recipes, it has been a godsend to have
your program! I started by putting in some of our favorite old recipes and
kept tweaking the ingredients (with healthy substitutes) until I came up
with the nutritional numbers I wanted. Then I'd make them, and surprisingly
I've been able to salvage MANY of our favorites with little or no
discernable difference in taste. I also went to work creating new recipes
in the same fashion.
Sincerely yours,
Judy Hageman
Hi, I thought I would share my story with you since it's your program that made my recovery after brain surgery a success. I had a colloital brain cyst and it had to be surgically removed three years ago. During my recovery, I had to learn to cook again at the age of 45. My husband bought your software, installed it on our computer and would put the recipe video on that I was to cook that day. It was so wonderful because I could replay it over and over and because of that I have been very successful in returning to the preparations of our meals not to mention going to the store and coming home with all the right ingredients. I share this amazing program with all my friends and family.
Again, thanking you for your wonderful work and continued commitment to keeping us organized and cooking.
To that end, thanks for the Valentines lesson. I can hardly wait to deliver my cookie vases and kisses to the nursing home for my mother and the staff to enjoy!!!!
With great thankfulness,
Jacque Micheli
My hat is off to you my friend. My wife and I are trying to get on a budget thanks to listening to Dave Ramsey's radio show and reading his book. So with that in mind last night I was trying to help my wife with planning this next week's menu. A daunting task no doubt. Not just coming up with the recipes to prepare but to then make up the grocery list. So sitting at our dining room table I had what I thought was the most brilliant idea of all. Develop a computer program that would do it all for us. The ideas just came streaming out of me. Scheduling, inputting new recipes, downloading new recipes and automatic grocery lists. The kicker is that I am in no way, shape or form a computer programmer. So I get on the internet this morning to look and see if there is an existing software package. And of course there is, yours. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that I had envisioned or look the same as what was in my mind but the basic functionality is there. So my hopes of going to a software developer and making "a million bucks" have been dashed. We wil definately be purchasing a copy (as soon as the budget provides).
I am impressed with your companies values and mission, so I wish you all the luck in the world.
Jeff Selfe
I am happy that I purchased "Cook'n Deluxe, Cook'n for Diabetes, and Cook'n for Two." I find your programs easy to use and plan to order the new Cook'n Low Carb today. I noticed that "Cook'n for Diabetics" is on your new relase list. How is it different from "Cook'n for Dieabetes" and would it be an addition or a duplication to my Cook'n Library?
I appreciate the manner in which your company does business and will gladly share my opinion with others that may benefit from the use of our product.
Cook'n Healthy today with ease, thanks to my menus created with your software
This is a great product. I love the flexiblity of downloading, shipping CD's, or gift certiricates. I intend to buy this product as gifts for all of my married children and will continue to purchase your additional products in the future.

Dear Dan and Family,
I would like to thank you for all the time, attention, and effort you have put into your products. I have owned Cook'n since 99
and I was blown away at all the features back then. Now you have streamlined and tweaked your awesome program to work with the newest computers. I appreciate the effort that went into making the original versions work seamlessly in todays processing environments. There was a widow of time where my prog was givin me fits but after doing the troubleshooting on the DVO site, it is back to screamin' again. I know I am preaching to the choir but your prog REALLY does have it all. One of my faves is going thourgh our old family recipes and seeing the nutritional info translated.
Just Keep up the great work!
Blessings from my Family to Yours!
Kim Brooks and Family
I love it, Love It, LOVE IT! I've been looking for a way to organize all of my recipes and I truly believe that Cook'n is the perfect solution. This was the first product I looked at on the Internet. Being the savvy consumer, I decided to check out some other companies as well. I shouldn't have wasted my time because none of them compared to Cook'n! If I could make one tiny suggestion it would be to include a spell checker when I type in my own recipes.
Thanks for a great product,
Wendy Taylor
I love your Cook'n with Agave. I am already using it and everyone is enjoying the meals. I am 100% satisfied and looking forward to your new issue.

Hi Dan,
I just wanted to say thanks back. Your product is very educational and very useful. I will be ordering a lot of the downloads. Probably about 75% of them. It is very user friendly and I like your work ethics and dedication to the customer satisfaction. Keep up the good work.

The Oster Electric Knife delivered yesterday. I love that it comes in it's own case. I know it will be a great addition to my kitchen. I love shoppin at DVO.com!

I cannot tell you how much I love your cook book. I have on Jenny Craig to lose weight and the food can be expensive. But with your program I am able to put in my recipe and modify the ingredients to achieve low fat recipes. I have told every one that this is the best. The other thing is now my daughter in law can look up my recipes to make for my son his favorties.
Jayne
Hi Dan
I promised to let you know how the vertisserie works and I love it! Chickens, pork, roasts, and a very small turkey turned out really great. The only thing I see as a problem is the door does not open real wide and it is a bit of a juggle to get the dip pan and meat item out with no spills. If you are careful it usually works but a little scary due to the hot juice, etc. in the drip pan. I hope in time will figure out a better way to do this. But really I would still purchase it again because it really is great for small family and the food is moist and delicious. Also much healthier due to the fat grease dripping in the pan and not soaking into the meat.
Have a great day and get yourself a Vertisserie!!
Wow! I just received my Multi-colorde Pearls - they are wonderful!
I wish now I had ordered a second set - just 'in-case' ... IF any show up around the warehouse that didn't get sold - please let me know. I know the web site tells me they are gone - but I am the eternal optimist ---
I am so glad I found your site and the great recipe package - that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Louise Fortune
Thank you. This new software I downloaded, 'Cook'n Recipe Organizer', I love it! It's easy to use and understand. I have already started organizing my personal recipes. I'm so glad that I purchased it.

Just wanted to pass on this info that my husband Richard, passed away recently but he really enjoyed receiving your emails. I have decided to keep his email account open so I can also enjoy your emails as well.
