Hi there everyone- especially other struggling Aussies.

I am currently on the hunt for some software that allows you to enter recipes and calculate the carbs etc... given that we can't always find what we need I am hoping that I might be able to play around a little on the PC by substituting ingredients and find out what the effects will be on carbs -I figure it is preferable to going without or risking it . I haven't made a great search yet as I am hoping someone will know without me expending heaps of effort.

Will keep everyone posted with anything I find out.

Hi Joanne,

This post some how got lost since may 5th, probably during our upgrade or maintenance. Just found it by accedent, and you probably found some good answers already. Sorry, don't know how this happened.

Greetings, AussieJo.

I use MasterCook (by Sierra Software) for entering recipes and playing around with Ingredients. I'm using Version 4 but Versions 3 through 5 do the job quite well.

Hope that helps?

Judi,

Bought Mastercook 6.0 today, and have to say I am impressed. I honestly think this will help sort my problem out with substitutes for some of those exotic ingredients we can't get over here (or those I don't like for that matter.)

Must say it was very interesting to see the nutritional information for a few of the old family recipes!

Thanks for the advice

Joanne
