MacGourmet Deluxe is packed with features and is a real boon to amateur chefs. We'll be making a lot of use of it.
     — Tim Danaher of MacUser

MacGourmet is my top pick, and it's the program I found myself using on a daily basis. I recommend it for anyone, especially people who want to import recipes from Web sites.
     — Andy Affleck of TidBITS

After researching many recipe packages for my recent TidBITS article, I became a devout user of MacGourmet coupled with its new Nutrition Plug-in and a growing list of website importers, it is an essential part of my kitchen (literally, since my home office is currently *in* my kitchen). My reasons for loving it above all others are well documented in my article so I'll just say that it also would make a great gift for the chef in your life.

It all boils down to this: if you need a database to manage your recipes, there are several available, though none has been more pleasant for me to use than MacGourmet Deluxe.
     — Ed Eubanks, Jr. of ATPM

What's cool about MacGourmet is how quickly everything begins to add up, so the whole of your "digital gourmet hub" becomes more than the sum of the parts.
     — Bambi Brannan of Mac360.com

If you don't want to eat out, your Mac can't cook you dinner. But it can help you keep track of your go-to recipes. MacGourmet ($24.95) lets you link recipes that pair nicely, such as a seafood souffle and a fudge-brownie dessert. To keep your MacBook from getting covered in butter and flour, print your recipes on paper cards to keep in the kitchen.

    as his 27th way that your Mac can improve your life.

With so many ways to sort, organize, and search for recipes, MacGourmet Deluxe is invaluable for anyone who loves cooking and collecting recipes.
     — MacNN First Look

In all, MacGourmet Deluxe packs a whole lot of functionality into one application. While some of the additions are not for everyone (I won't use the Wine Notes, for example), the things you don’t use stay out of the way, and the focus remains on recipes, ingredients, and preparation - as it should.
     — Bill Weakley of MacApper.com

A Great program my wife and I use every day. In fact, I bought an mac mini for our kitchen just for this program.
     — Kelley Shackelford of 50leaves.com, when choosing MacGourmet
    as one of his top ten Mac OS X shareware apps of 2007.

At the top end of the list we have MacGourmet. MacGourmet could be classed as the Delicious Library for recipes. It has a nice clean Aqua interface making it very Mac-like and actually nicer to use than the rest.
     — Darryn Lowe of NZMac.com

As the name implies, MacGourmet Deluxe only runs on Macintosh computers, but the program is so sophisticated, it might be reason enough to switch from Windows if you aren’t already a Mac user.
     — Rick Mansfield of Cooking in Cast Iron

An internet buddy of mine, Amy, turned me on to MacGourmet. I downloaded it, tried it, and used it so much right away that I bought it. I am in love with this inexpensive, easy to use little program!
     — Leslie Poston on her hubpages.com page

What I do know is that Michael the developer at macgourmet is very very supportive and developing updates constantly.

I have ALL the recipes from Betty Crocker imported from the PC version on MasterCook 9.

I have over 17029 recipes in my cookbook database and just love the app.
     — User jchair in the MacCast forum

I've been a long time user of Mastercook and have swapped to MacGourmet after I started using an iMac computer. I love both the iMac and MacGourmet. I have tried a few other Mac recipe software programs and have found MacGourmet to be the most user friendly of all of them.
     — An amazon.com customer

Any food and Apple lovers out there must use MacGourmet to organize your recipes. I've been using it for a little over a year now and absolutely love it. Anytime I find a good recipe that I want to keep, I add it to my MacGourmet so I won't chance throwing the recipe card away.

I am relatively new to the OS X world - I've been using a Macbook Pro for about a year now. So, I’m probably getting all bubbly and happy about features long-term OS X users take for granted. But, I am totally in love with MacGourmet... Surprisingly, MacGourmet costs only $24.95. I would have been willing to pay as much as $50. I am having a lot of fun compiling recipes that I can share with my children as they grow up get more interested in cooking. It’s sort of nice to think that I’m using my computer to save a little piece of myself for my kids to refer to in years to come. Recommended: Yes

I've used MacGourmet since its inception and am continually looking at other Mac-based recipe programs as a basis for reference. MG has continually improved over the years and its consistent interface, adhering to the Mac "look and feel" has made using it intuitive and simple.
