In fact, the MG interface was so unintuitive that I wasn’t even sure where to put the actual name of the ingredient. YS! has a very simple, one-paned design with handy autofill (configurable in the menu), MG, on the other had is a complicated jumble. The recipe adding interface, arguably the most important part, is where I noticed the greatest difference. Most of these things I will never use, and may even consider as bloatage but its always nice to know that I can plan my wines in advance. They have a full-screen (or large) view, ratings, difficulty, pictures, shopping and wine lists, etc. MacGourmet: 7/10 – Good, but feels a little cluttered and rough.īoth of these applications have all of the things you would expect from a recipe keeper. YummySoup!: 8/10 – Despite that stupid seal this is a very good interface. If MG did that I wouldn’t mind because I like their icon. I appreciate that they let you change the default recipe image but it still lurks around. My main (and really, only) issue with the YS! interface is that damn seal thing. In YS! there is a “browse by image” option that is rather Cover Flow-esque. One thing I like about MacGourmet is the ability to choose different layout styles for the recipes (akin to message views in Adium). Overall, the YS! interface seems more polished and modern. We have the conventional three-pane view with a sidebar containing folders, a top pane with recipes and a bottom pane that displays the selected one.Īlthough it seems like a silly thing to say, I must point out that I prefer the default proportions of YummySoup! better. Lite version of shareware like usual, we will have two paid apps facing off.īoth apps have a fairly basic interface. This Software Sumo will be a little different because I am not going into it with a clear preference. So, seeing as how there are just about as many cooking apps are there are RSS readers for Mac I decided to review two of the more prominent ones. As you can probably tell from my recent influx of Chef RPG-related posts and the fact that I was watching cooking shows at 3 last night, I am more into cooking than usual.
