I need a cookbook program

[watdahel]

So, I've decided to start cooking. I've gathered a bunch of recipes and somehow I keep losing the paper I write them on. I would like to store them on my computer for future records. Anyone know of a good recipe software I can use that's free or a really good non-free one?

write your own ftw!

freebsd + postgresql + perl(or) python (or) ruby (or) gcc (or) php/apache

or if you're feeling microsoftie,

xp + sql 2005 express edition + Visual Studio 2005 express edition

Or Access.

PHP:

<?php mysql_connect("localhost", "uName", "passwd") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbName") or die(mysql_error());
$query = mysql_query("SELECT ingredients, title, date FROM dbName ORDER BY date");
while(($recipe = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) !== false){
$rIngredients = $recipe['ingredients'];
$rTitle = $recipe['title'];
$rDate = $recipe['date'];
$date = date("F jS, Y"); ?>


<p>Add to database:</p>

<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="title" />
<textarea name="ingredients" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update" />
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$query2 = "UPDATE dbName SET ingredients = '".$_POST['ingredients']."', title = '".$_POST['title']."', date = '$date'";
mysql_query($query2);
}
}
?>

Something like should work. I threw in a couple extra variables for when you want to call the information. I'll check the synthax in a moment.

I tried out Gourmet Recipe Manager a few months ago. It was a bit buggy (at least the import feature was), but it's actively being worked on, so it may be improved.

or not at all and require them printed on paper to cook the dish :/

MasterCook, Cook'n, MealMaster and BigOven. So many choices. Anyone know which is best?
