When I reviewed recipe programs well over a year ago, Organized Gourmet was at version 1.2. It's obviously seen very active development since then so I thought perhaps it deserved another look…

The developer has addressed all the specific shortcomings mentioned in that review. Serve scaling is now included, and is very convenient to apply to a recipe in the main window. (Unfortunately, it only allows scaling in predefined multiples, rather than entering the exact number of people you intend to serve.)

The addition of Smart Groups (think iTunes, etc) is a big plus in my opinion for organising recipes.

There is still room for improvement… For example, entering new ingredients in a recipe is not as easy as it could be. Predefined ingredients are added in Preferences, and then selected using a dedicated button/dropdown in the recipe editing window. This requires the user to have to remember whether the ingredient they are about to enter has been predefined or not before deciding which button to press. And there is no auto-fill once you start typing an ingredient by name. (For an example of a better implementation, have a look at MacGourmet.)

But like I said in my previous review, if meal planning is what you're looking for it's hard to go past this program — and it's only getting better!
