I just received my C@H Back Issue Library DVD and have had some time to play with it. First, of all, it is definitely worth the price to have all the recipes available, easily searchable, and recipes capable of being entered into recipe management software! There were some questions about the versatility of this DVD. The primary reason why I purchased the DVD was to be able to copy recipes into my recipe management program, since C@H does not offer this service on its Web site. The DVD opens in your default browser. I use Firefox. I copied a recipe from a back issue, using control + C. Then I opened my recipe management program, which is Living Cookbook 13 and used the capture function to paste the recipe into Living Cookbook. It worked perfectly! No more tedious typing of C@H recipes into recipe management programs! Recipes can also being opened in PDF readers such as, Foxit or Adobe Reader and directly copied or even printed with one click of the mouse.
Also of note, I recently received an E-mail from Fine Cooking, advertising their Magazine Archive 1994-2012 for $69.99 for a limited time. It was originally prices at a whopping $150!!! Another great deal.
Getting recipes from recipe management programs or the Internet onto an iPad can be done, but it is not the easiest process. Alina has the most knowledge on how to do this. Living Cookbook will eventually have an app to get recipes on an iPad.
