It's a recipe management program written in Cocoa, specifically for the Mac OS X operation system. I wrote it for myself because I didn't see anything that I liked back in 2002. I finished in 2003 but didn't polish it for release; I wasn't sure if someone else would like it. Some of my friends saw it and started using it as well. They then wanted me to polish it up and release it. So in 2004, I decided to officially release it and call the software "Measuring Cup".
Features
- Simple organization of recipes. iTunes/iPhoto kind of organization. Allows user defined categories and sub-categories. Searchable.
- In-place editing. Some programs have a presentation view that is different from a editing view. I find that cumbersome. I like to edit my recipe as easy as when I am viewing it.
- Undo/Redo support. Good - no, make that great - undo/redo support. I am a careless person and tend to make mistakes and so I absolutely need this support.
- Simple view of a recipe. Shows the most important detail in the main screen. The rest are tugged away in an Aqua drawer.
- Aqua luscious. I try to be a good OS X citizen.
- XML backing store. You probably don't care about this but I thought it would be cool to mention it. All recipes are stored as XML file for easy sharing eventually.

Thank You! - bakerman2033--2008
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! ... This will come in very handy. For home use, I've got a ton of recipe's (I like to cook, making sure it's healthy!)(and, the bakerywent south about 3 years ago, kept my email name tho) Maybe I could use this to organize the recipes that were originally bought in the beginning, but not sold in the end ... Now perhaps I can attempt to organize those $5,000 worth of recipes into something to raise funds for a charity. Thanks again!
