pd-RecipeBook

pd-RecipeBook is a handy tool for anyone who loves cooking and experimenting with recipes. Over the years, we've seen food made from so many different ingredients, which is why recipes have been saved in books and databases. Now, with specialized apps like pd-RecipeBook, you can easily browse or create your own recipe database.

Explore Your Recipe Categories

Once you install pd-RecipeBook, just fire it up and start jotting down your favorite recipes! The app has a nice visual design that feels modern but still comfy to use. It features custom-made elements within a classic window layout. While it’s visually appealing, it could definitely benefit from some helpful tooltips that pop up when you hover over things.

Navigating Through Categories

When you first open the app, you'll see a menu where you can pick from 14 different categories. These cover everything from breads and drinks to main courses and salads. Unfortunately, you can't add or remove categories, but they pretty much cover all your culinary needs! If you want to change categories later on, you'll have to restart the app.

Using the Editor

No matter what category you choose, the editor pops up next—and this is where you’ll also view your recipes. Just be careful while making changes because it’s easy to get mixed up! The layout is super user-friendly; there are fields for the title, ingredients, prep time, notes, and even a spot for a picture of your dish. Plus, if you need to share any details quickly, there's a button that sends everything right to your clipboard!

Searching for Recipes Made Easy

A little downside? You can’t see all items in a category as a list at once. This means some back-and-forth clicking if you're looking for something specific. But don’t worry! There’s a built-in search feature that finds what you need in an instant!

Simple Export Options

The app doesn’t have direct export options besides copying text to clipboard. However, if you've got a virtual printer set up on your device, printing out recipes will save them as files too!

Your Cooking Companion

All in all, pd-RecipeBook is an excellent way to keep track of cooking ideas and new recipes without any fuss! Sure, it could use that list view feature for browsing all items more easily—but with its search function and decent presets available, it's definitely worth checking out!
