I LOVE this app!! It makes my life in the kitchen so much easier. Its really tough to juggle the kids with all of the other things on my list... in about 5 minutes I can pick a dozen recipes and import them into my YummySoup, plus make a grocery list for any ingredients I need. And cooking is quicker with the full screen display!! Thank you YummySoup for making my life so much easier!

YummySoup is a really nice, no frills app for managing (not just keeping) your recipes. I have tried several other recipe managers, most recently MacGourmet, and YummySoup is the most "Mac like" I have found Although YummySoup doesn't have all the frills of the others, it shines in it's simplicity and ease of use.

The web importer is hands down the best available...for most of the common recipes sites (allrecipes, foodtv, etc.) it auto populates all fields by merely using drag and drop to the main window. If YummySoup can't auto populate fields, it presents an easy to use interface for highlighting, selecting, and then importing the various fields into the library. Top it off that in can import from other recipe managers (saving time if you convert from another supported application) and has .Mac support, it really adds up to a great product.

Finally, the $20 license is a "family license" which allows you to install it on all Macs in your home. This is a welcome move by the developer which I wish was a model more software companies embraced.

spiralstairs,

Just FYI, I'm fairly certain The Little App Factory is out of business and no longer developing Connoisseur. Someone is still collecting registration fees but they don't answer support emails anymore. I recommended Connoisseur to my mom and she bought it about a year or so ago. When we upgraded her to Leopard, it broke Connoisseur. I tried getting support from TLAF but no one answered my/our emails. I went so far as to track down one of the devlelopers, who was spending a year in Pakistan, and he gave me another email to try. Many, many unaswered emails later, we gave up and since I'd been using YS for quite some time (I think I got it on MacZot for $10 or something) we migrated her to it.

Since switching to YS neither her nor I have had any regrets. I much prefer the drag and drop of YS and the Anysite importer is simply great. I got tired of the whole Services menu import of Connoisseur.

YummySoup can handle recipes very well, with drag n' drop features as well is pictures, I love it! BUT I still find it a little bit of a pain. It's very close to a copy of this: http://thelittleappfactory.com/application.php?app=Connoisseur

I think YummySoup has bad graphics and a bad name (it's not just for soup). I still prefer Connoisseur (which is also $20).

I searched for this app but couldn't find it so I tried registering it myself (of course iusethis found it and told me it already existed). Anyway I just thought I'd add the text of my description:

"YummySoup is a nice little recipe manager that packs some punch. Drag and drop ingredient and directions importation from a web browser makes new recipe creation a snap. Other nice features: .Mac backup, integrated user contributed online recipe database, integrated email function for emailing recipes, full screen mode for easy reading while you're cooking, easy to use and create shopping lists, Smart Folders and much more."

It really is a nice little recipe app and at $20 (I got it for $14 at MacZot) it's a bargain.
