This program has a bit of a PC feeling, both ignoring some Mac GUI guidelines and in its general GUI layout. Windows often use their own custom buttons and ignore Mac interface guidelines (clicking on the window close [red] button, for example does nothing, you have to use their separate cancel button). That said, it does work. I've looked at several recipe-shopping list type programs for OSX, and (of those listing here on VersionTracker) this seems the most robust.

I need a recipe and nutrition application with the ability to generate shopping lists...that can also update an existing larder (DB), for the purposes of utilizing and replenishing stores. I am using it for preparing for emergencies and building a useable stockpile of food and supplies. Certainly expeditions could use it too, and what about families that have learned the wisdom of shopping for a wholesale and warehouse bulk purchase stores?

Obviously a restaurant owner/manager could use a larder-style look-up and resupply alarm/updating tool joined at the hip to a recipe and nutrition planner. Such a solution woudl be a no-brainer purchase for anyone from a restaurant owner to a food dispensary, soup kitchen, or camp supervisor! If necessary, this could be in the Pro Version. Hey, I'd pay extra!

Luckily this program seems to have a rather robust set of export options, so it can be used in conjunction with a spreadsheet of data at this time. However, a built-in larder/stores DB should not be hard to add, and would set this program apart as the only application for OSX with that sort of power. Add this feature and tweak the GUI a bit and this program would be in a class all by itself.

Another great point is that this program has a good help file, and lots of downloadable data from recipe data to nutrional information. This is a real plus.

To show my support, I am placing my order now. I have the faith that a PRO feature larder version is in the works. When this feature is added I can think of at least a half dozen families that will buy a copy.
