I have been using Master Cook for about 15 years. I'm on my third
version of it. The newer versions (8 and 9) have a feature that lets you
capture an online recipe and automatically add it to your cookbook of
choice in Master Cook but that feature only works with IE. I use Firefox
and a fellow created an add on called Recipe Fox that does pretty much
the same thing with about 30 or more specific recipe sites.

The sites that don't work with the automatic copying programs will work
with the "import assistant" within Master Cook that will allow you to
copy a web-based recipe and paste it into your cookbook.

I would much prefer managing my own cookbook on my own PC than on
someone else's server.
