The best of the available offerings. - Version: 2.3, 5/6/2008 01:34PM PST

I tried several of the current offerings in menu planner and shopping list organizers and this for me was the best. It is very intuitive and simple. It addresses my needs which are simply to organize meals for the week and provide a concise organized shopping list from the ingredients. It does these things very well. It is the most Mac like GUI which is nice if you love Mac as I do.
A few tiny bugs I would like to see in upcoming version revisions;
1. change the tabbing order in the recipe edit screen so that it goes to the next line for new ingredients instead of to the directions. Better yet make it editable by the user.
2. Include a spell checker and better auto fill. It should be able to add words on the fly instead of bouncing back and forth from an edit screen to the preferences.
These are minor complaints and should be fairly easy to fix. Even so, I highly recommend this program and for $20, it is well worth it even if only for the nice shopping list feature which consolidates all ingredients. I also liked the white on black cooking view which makes it easy to read at a distance from across the kitchen.

1. Tab moves in an illogical sequence in the edit recipe section. After an entry into the comment box, the tab takes you to the directions box. To make a new ingredient entry, I must look up from the keyboard to find the plus box and then look for the next entry. A little disorienting. It makes more sense to have it go to the next new ingredient line and then when all ingredients are entered the user could click the curser into the directions box or better yet offer a keyboard shortcut to add cooking instructions.
Bottom line... in my opinion if you want meal planning, shopping list, and excellent import abilities with intuitive recipe screens which have nice auto fill and and extensive library, get Mac Gourmet and the planning plug in from the website macgourmet.com
