Handy CookBook

I have used this for many years, and i have definitely grown addicted to it. Can't live without it. I use it to store and categorise all my favorite reciepes. With pictures! Best feature for me is that i can do this on the computer with the app's built in web server. All hail to Carlo Alberto Mazzi!!!

I have used Handy Cookbook successfully for years Today as I am starting my prep for Thanksgiving , it has balked at every turn I can pull up a recipe but can’t do anything such as edit, print, copy, send to email or anything I am frantic as all of our family recipes are here and no where else HELP

I was looking for a blank slate that I could mold to my own style. I file recipes oddly - by genre, ingredient, holidat and daypart (crazy but it works). and I have my own shorthand for ingredients and measurements. so, any app that forced me into a box was no good. and, I wanted easy backups and flex ability to share/output. I tried a bunch and they all failed. this is simply one of the best apps I have - it does exactly what it promises, extends my recipes easily back to other formats, ties the PC in if that's how I want to load/edut a recipe. easy to backup, edit and update. I took 4 thick paper files of recipes - pulled the very best (my go-to list) and loaded them. I also load new, untried recipes on the fly and delete them when they stink - update them with my alterations. I liberally add notes to everything. now, we add photos. this has made me a better home cook and everything is accessible when I travel. freaking amazing.

I love the cookbook, but just tried to add a recipe and when I tap to add ingredient, nothing happens. I am unable to add any ingredients. I don’t see how to get any support on this question. I was able to add steps. Please help!

I use this app constantly on 2 different iPads. I have family recipes on both but the app doesn’t allow sharing. Recipes reside on each individual device instead of in the cloud where you’d be able to log on and see them on any device. This why I rated it at 3 stars, other than that it would be 5 stars.

I LOVED this app until I purchased my new iPad. Now I too have a problem with my fractions. What gives?!! Extremely annoying but I have over 1,000 recipes in this app. Until this happened, I would have given this a 5 plus rating. Please help us out Carlo with a bug fix.

I do looove this app. But, lately it won’t let me add recipes on my iPhone or iPad. I’ve tried emailing Carlos; but, I don’t think he’s received them because I’ve had no response. What I have on my app works beautifully, but, I need to add more recipes. I hope he will find a way to show me how to fix it!

The latest version doesn’t work properly on the iPhone 8.When I enter a recipe, the fractional amounts are not placed into the recipe properly. It requires going into edit each of the entries to get it correct. This is the case whether I type in the entries or use voice dictation. When you go into edit the entry, there is some weird syntax that shows up. The fractional quantities for teaspoons, cup, etc. are not there.

I have 224 recipes in this app. Love the layout, how easy it is to add & categorize recipes... In addition to using it at home, I use it at the grocery store to remind me of ingredients I might not have or for something I just feel like making. When the warnings about the app not working with iOS 11 kept coming up, I frantically looked for an alternative & didn't install 11. Everything else seems to want to give you their recipes, while I want to keep mine. Thank you for updating (although I still haven't moved to 11)! Please keep this useful app available!

I have loved using this App for years. Thank you for the great app! It is wonderful being able to carry my recipes with me wherever I go!
