Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
With 6,000 recipes and hundreds of cooking tips, Cook'n 2000 makes an ideal addition to the kitchen of beginning cooks who are looking to prepare simple and inexpensive meals without sacrificing variety or nutrition. This program comes with most of the expected features of cooking software: a big recipe database, the ability to halve or double recipes at the touch of a button, Internet updates, the means to build a personal cookbook of favored meals, and a quick method of generating menus and grocery lists.

Amid these tools, the lack of a genuinely powerful search engine is a glaring omission. While it is possible to filter recipes to some extent, it is hard to search for particular ingredients. On the plus side, Cook'n 2000 is compatible with everything from a 486 computer to a PalmPilot, and it comes with an extensive gallery of recipe photographs and helpful videos.

Cook'n 2000's interface is simple and easy to navigate, with a series of clearly labeled buttons at the top, and recipe information compiled in the remaining screen. The database reflects a beginner's approach to cuisine. There are sections both for inexpensive dishes and ones that can be prepared on the run, and many recipes include prepared foods, such as cream of mushroom soup. Instructional videos cover basic cooking techniques and processes already familiar to more experienced cooks. The program allows long-term meal planning--if you want to work out a food schedule a year in advance, Cook'n 2000 will happily do so for you. This advance planning allows the program--and the user--to save time and energy with canny strategies called "dovetailing techniques." These entail tactics such as cooking twice as much macaroni as is needed for Monday's dinner so that users avoid repeating the same effort when Thursday's scheduled pasta dish rolls around.

These features make Cook'n 2000 the perfect cooking database for college students, new computer users, or anyone just learning how to plan and prepare meals. --Alyx Dellamonica

- Homemaking made easy!
I actually found this software at Best Buy on sale, but I love it so much I had to see if I could post a review here. I see it's out of stock, but you can find updated versions. This software makes meal planning and menu planning and planning shopping trips a complete breeze, eliminating the stress and allowing your creativity to come shining through! Even more fun are the video clips that allow you to meet some of the women who contributed their expertise and tips and tasty tidbits to this fun enterprise! ... Read More

- Not bad, for a Beta version
This product has the look of a Beta version released on an unsuspecting public. Any time my wife can not use a product without system failures, the product is not worth recommending. I am an 'puter tech, and her system works fine - Cook'n works poorly. Also, as noted by others, the recipes are not special, the database is underdeveloped, and the images included are essentially useless. Good marketing, bad product (Marketing are misleading, or we could call them lies.)

- Bum Rap
I was impressed by this product. You have to put it in context... MasterCook has been the big boy on the block for several years and HASN'T been that responsive to users. MasterCook 5.0 (version 1) was Bug-City. Now an 8Meg "Patch" fixes most "minor bugs." Cook'n 2000 had, after years of computer cookbook use, a very easy/intuitive interface. Enjoyed the recipes.

The only two suggestions I'd advise is: Drop the "register or Die!" mentality - look - I DON'T WANT TO REGISTER the software ... Read More

- software really needs improvement
When you first look at the box, it seems like a very good software. They offer over 6000 recipes, from about 50 cookbooks. As for the recipes themselves, they are not anything special that you wouldn't find on the internet or in other cook books. The software itself has a number of capabilities. The biggest draw back is the constant error messages, no 800 number for tech support. These error messages cause the software to shut down, and many times your computer does as well. Their website indicates ... Read More

- Software needs improvement
The Cook'N 2000 software needs lots of improvement. First, The interface is not intuitive and there is no user manual included. I met or exceeded all the system specs for this product, yet I received database errors that froze up the program when logging-in, after updating just one recipe. Mulitply this by the constant "reminders" to register the product with DVO enterprises:a register.exe command is inserted in your win.ini file, causing the reminder to pop-up even when you aren't using the program.
