3905.0. "Wanted: Cooking Light Magazines" by ZEKE::DALE () Tue Feb 01 1994 16:20

    Does anyone have the January/February or March/April 1993 issues of
    Cooking Light?  I am more than willing to buy them from you, but if
    you would rather keep them I would like to have copies of some 
    receipes from these issues.
    
    We started our subscription to this magazine in June and think it's
    wonderful!
    
    Thanks,
    Marilyn

Many magazines will happily sell back issues.  You might want to ask them.

    I have them and will try to remember to bring them in for you to copy
    (I like to keep back issues.)  I'm in ZK as well.  Send me mail.

Cooking Light News

There are lots of recipe software packages out there, but Cooking 
Light now has their own recipe application. The uniqueness of this 
software is that it completely complements your subscription to the 
magazine by allowing you to access and use recipes from your current 
issue. A subscription to the service includes the software application 
called CookWare[tm], and the monthly update diskette called CookPac[tm]. 
The application comes *free with a "subscription" to the update service. 
The charge is a minimal monthly fee, or you can pay an annual fee to avoid 
monthly billing. The intent is to give you fast, easy access to your favorite 
recipes as well as allow you to customize your Cooking Light "cookbook" to 
meet your usage needs. 

CookWare is rather nifty. It comes with 300 of Cooking Light's all 
time favorite recipes. You use picture icons to use the application, 
so it is really simple. The icons correspond to the categories listed 
in the Cooking Light index -- so there is consistency. CookWare 
recipes can be modified for serving size, printed and moved to other 
cookbooks. Of course each recipe includes Cooking Light's nutritional 
analysis. The "create cookbook" feature allows you to enter your own 
recipes too, so it really is an all-purpose cooking software 
application. CookWare is available for Windows, Macintosh and DOS (no 
picture icons for DOS).

CookPac contains all the recipes for a given month. If you subscribe 
to the consumer edition you can select up to 15 recipes which get 
automatically down loaded into your CookWare application and are 
immediately ready to use! There is also a professional edition that 
gives you unlimited recipe selection. This software truly expands the 
use of your Cooking Light subscription. You might want to check it out 
in the June issue of Cooking Light available on the newstand. And 
with the subscription, it makes a GREAT gift idea.

Interestingly, CookWare and CookPac were developed by Custom 
Information Technologies, Nashua N.H. This company is the brainchild 
of a former Digital employee!
