The MasterCook for desktop computers is a great recipe archiving and retrieval program. That fact hasn’t changed since it was first developed over 30 years ago. Yes… I have been a user of MasterCook for over 30 years! In addition to the robust program, developments over the past few years now provide a second app called MasterCook Manager. It can operate in conjunction with the desktop version of MasterCook, i.e., backups, or on its own, as a separate online app. It’s great for on-the-go access if you decide not to purchase the desktop program and provides recipe back-up for the desktop version if you have both. I have had versions of MasterCook since V2.0, up to MC2022. From my personal experience, I can attest that it has always been great program, providing a robust recipe archiving, back-up, and retrieval. Now, thanks to MasterCook Manager, it’s even portable. As with any system, there is bound to be a glitch here and there. However, reaching out to the technical support people has never been an issue and the problem is usually resolved quite quickly. Leaving negative reviews without contacting the company resolves nothing. Any time you have a problem, let tech support know that it exists! We need to report those aspects to tech support, so they can fix it. Any time I have had an issue, and it’s not often, it was dealt with promptly and to my satisfaction. They have been friendly and helpful every time.

We have been using Maser Cook for many years and have not encountered any issues with the program. With the recent upgrade to Version 22, we had a couple of hick-ups and we contacted support. Within a hour of submitting our ticket, we had a answer, that led to more questions. The support has been tremendous and very prompt with the answers. Everything is working as it should be. We could not be happier with the program and customer service. Thank you Master Cook!
