I'm looking for a simple recipe manager for my aunt. She is 72 years old and grew up in a time when women kept recipes on file cards in a little box in the kitchen. She wants to be able to organize her recipes on her computer in a similar way.
She uses her computer daily and is very good with it but she does not want a complicated or fancy recipe database. She's just at a point in her life where she doesn't want to learn a whole new software program and interface.
She is looking for something that would give her basic categories and subcategories. She wants to able to to look up recipes by title, category, or ingredients. Also, she wants to be able to print recipes on 5"x7" cards. I will do all the data entry for her (she has boxes and boxes) so she'll only be using it to locate and print recipes. She has a PC with Windows, so we're not looking for phone apps. Since it's something simple we're hoping to find one that's free.
She is a fantastic cook and cooks for everyone: family, friends, the guy who comes to repair her dishwasher. It's her way of showing love and appreciation. I would really like to help her get her recipes organized the way she wants, something simple and easy for her to use.
Any suggestions?
bon appetit
