You folks are really great. I have finally completed a project I started some time ago with ease and direction. Also, a very nice person, Ms Pam, was able to guide me over the hangups I ran in to being a complete novice with this computer (although it is formidable for getting things done).
I found the program "Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software simple to use...more than suggestive on things to do and ways to do it. And, again the staff who solved my problems, Wonderful.

I'm really having a good time with this program but am very new to it. So far it is working very well for me. There were other programs out there that allowed many more features but I found that they were more complicated than I wanted and added stuff that I had no interest in. I anticipate that this program will do what I want it to and not a lot more.

There is no instructions or methods to merge receipts created on multiple computers. I contacted the Home Office and was told that when the time comes to merge that I should email the sperate files by to there and they would merge the files and return them to me. There shou be a way that the customers could do this function themselves

I love the product! I also loved how fast the item was shipped to me. Thats super important. I just wish it cam with instructions on how to navigate through the program. I have ADHD so teaching myself is a bit hard. But overall Awesome.

So far the program is working fine and is easy to use. I have had it for the past 2 weeks. I will be combining my family history with our family recipes. It seems to be a great way to save these recipes and the stories that go with them. I have been planning to make a cookbook for a long time but up to now I could not find a program that was as easy as this one.

I have been looking for something to finish off my Genealogy for my children. THIS IS JUST PERFECT! I have a lot of old family recipes and this is a wonderful way to round off something for my family. I bought 7 of your cookbooks and am just thrilled with the product! Wonderful job on your part. Thank you for all the thought you have put into this and making it easy for me to achieve my goal!

After looking at many options for putting together a family cookbook I came across this software, Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software. I have just started entering recipes but I already love the ease of use. They have made it very easy to enter and sort. I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it to others.

on the system requirements it is stated the XP service pack 2. It should be service pack 3 as MS does not support service pack 2 any longer only SP3 until 2014 and then they will cut off support for XP

As I have my own Matilda I needed to buy one for my son after he saw mine. So I did after I could afford it. I think he is happy with it.

I have entered a number of recipes and find this easier than any other program I have tried. I have not had time yet to do pictures and other things, but thus far I am very happy with the product

First of all, I received this program in record time - ordered on Monday in my mailbox on Wednesday. Very easy to install and super easy to use. In just a few minutes, I have already added 2 recipes and look forward to adding more! Thank you for a high quality program.

I have been using Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software for several months now. I absolutely love it! It is the easiest software I have ever used and I have used a couple trying to find the right one. The only thing I do not like about this software is that many of the pages are in color and do not transfer to black and white very well when copied. I have found the help at customer service to be more than adequate. You won't be disappointed if you purchase this. Very easy to maintain and fun to use.

I'd give you an excellent but I haven't had a chance to actually use the program yet. Your shipping was very fast and I am very excited to try making my own family cookbook.
Thanks!

Excellent software: Extremely user friendly! I really like all the features of the software, but especially like the search features for finding recipes, the ability to put in photos, and to email recipes. It is so easy to cut and paste recipes in the cookbook. I am looking forward to using the birthday calendar, biographies and address book features.
There is one thing I would like to see improved and that is the table of contents. I would like to be able to "tighten it up" so that more recipes could be placed on the table of contents page. Right now it seems to me that you use a lot of pages for your table of contents.
Oh, one more thing, the cookbook staff is very friendly and helpful and answer your email questions quickly. Thanks.

We have had this programfor about three weeks. Already I am using this cook book to collect recipies for our church group.
It is very easy to type in the recipes or even to paste in recipies from past cookbooks we published.
I am still learning how to print a copy, and actually trying to find photos and art work that is unique and different from what this program presents. I also will be looking to making a pdf to bring to our printers.
We give as our cook books as a wedding gift
to everyone married at our church, and our church cook book has special sections for ethnic recipies as well as hand me down recipies from our grandparents and great grandparents.

I looked at many different cookbook products before choosing Matilda's. I'm glad I did. I love the simplicity of the product and that ability to choose different backgrounds to make it more personal.
Thanks!

The software is not as friendly as I hoped. I didn't have much luck with tech help. I felt that the tech didn't know very much and was rude and talked down to me

This is the easiest software I've ever seen or used and I'm not too swift with my computer, so I'd recommend it highly to everyone. I'm impressed with all the creative things I'm able to do with this software as well as the ease of doing them.

This is a wonderful product. It is easy to use and the software supplies useful tools. The email button is great. It allows me to quickly send copies of my recipes to family and friends. LOVE IT.

I didn't have much time to get up and running when I ordered this software. Christmas was looming and I was making the cookbooks for gifts..Fortunately it is so easy and user friendly that it only took a moment.
PLUS...these are the nicest people in the world with which to do business. There were some unforseen problems with the first shipment and they immediately reshipped the whole order without any hassle. They renewed my faith in on-line shopping. All companies need to follow The Cookbook People's business ethics. Thanks Pam.
