For Mastercook Version 5 (or newer; v.6, v.7, v.9)
Cook Book File

Recipe Updates

 

A Fall 2009

None  

To download the cookbook/recipe file:

  1. With your mouse, right click on the file you wish to download. For the initial cookbook it is the colored hyperlink above. For recipe updates, you'll find them on their own page titled "Recipe Updates".

  2. A dialog box will appear. Choose (left click with the mouse) the option "Save Target As..."

  3. Another dialog box will appear. In the "Save In:" drop down box, choose a directory/folder you will be able to find easily. Generally, the "Desktop" is the default choice. If not, you can left click the downward pointing triangle and towards the top of your choices is the "Desktop". This is generally a good temporary location for storing a file you wish to locate quickly. At the end of the process, you can delete or move the file to a permanent location of your choice. The default file name should be correct, just left mouse click the "Save" button. If you should have a file with the same name in the same location, then change the file name to something different; such as adding a number or letter to the beginning or end of the file name, then click "Save". When the file has completed the downloading, click the "Close" button to close the dialog box. You now have a copy of the cookbook on your computer waiting to be loaded.

 

When you are ready to load the cookbook file into Mastercook proceed with the next set of steps. If you are going to do the loading of the file immediately, minimize or close the website. For those familiar with working in Windows, you want to drag and drop the cookbook file directly into the sub-directory "My Collection" of Mastercook. Then just double click the file in "My Collection" to open the cookbook and load it into the collection. The following direction explain those steps for beginners. Note some version of Mastercook allows you to just double click the file on your desktop and it loads the file properly. Some version don't keep the linked files with this method. You can try to double click the cookbook, and if the recipes lose their linked properties, just open Mastercook and delete the cookbook and then drag and drop into the sub-directory to correct the problem.

 

To load the cookbook file into Mastercook:

  1. Working from your computer's desktop, left click (or you may have to quickly double left click) on "My Computer" and then left click on "Local Disk (C:)".  Next scroll down to the directory/folder where you installed Mastercook. This might be in the "Program Files" or in it's own directory under "Mastercook" or "Sierra". Left click and open that directory. 

  2. The directory options for Mastercook should be "Deluxe Collection", "Mc Tools", "My Collection", and "Program". Left click to choose the directory "My Collection". You should have multiple cookbooks, menus, and shopping lists in this directory.

  3. On the top blue colored bar of the program window, in the upper left corner should read "My Collection" and in the upper right corner should be three (3) square boxes. The left box has a small dash to minimize the program, the right box has an "X" and is for closing the program. The center box has either a single square (to maximize the window) or a double square (to downsize the window). You want the window to be resizable to a smaller size; click the center box if necessary to get the single square.

  4. Now as you roll your mouse across the edge of the window of the program, you will get a double sided arrow. When that appears, left click and hold your mouse button down and drag the edge of the program's window to make it small enough to read enough of the contents on your desktop to see the Mastercook cookbook file.

  5. Locate the Mastercook cookbook file on your desktop. Now left click and hold your mouse button down on the cookbook file you want to drop into Mastercook, drag and drop it into the window "My Collection", and release the mouse button. The file should be copied into that directory.

  6. Now left click on the file in "My Collection" to open it up in Mastercook.

Note: By dragging and dropping the cookbook file into Mastercook directory, all linked recipes will remain linked, and you won't get duplicate recipes. If you "Import" the recipes into Mastercook, the recipes within a recipe will not be linked and every linked recipe will be duplicated in the cookbook. There may be as many as 100 to 150 linked recipes in our cook book.
