I dunno about using my PPC in the kitchen... seems like a dangerous place for a pda.

Being from europe, I would rather go with Pocket Cook Deluxe for the same price.
As far as i can tell from the screenshots, featurelist and the pdf-manual, PDACookbook Plus can't convert from US to metric wich makes it 100% useless....

It's nice in theory, but I am so paranoid about destroying my PDAs that I dont think I could use one in the kitchen.. unless it was a PDA I had dedicated to coooking.. ohhh I think I have found an excuse for buying another PDA :lol:

Pick Me
Now, I don't want to whine...much.
But since there's probably only a few HUNDRED of us who would love to win this product...wouldn't it make more sense to have this contest eligible for people who really want it?
So, if anyone wins a copy and doesn't want it, feel free to toss it my way.
I have no problem using my PDA in the kitchen. We get along fine there!
Cheers,
Pam

I use mine for recipes now, just have them all in text files. This prog seems like a great addition to my pda.

Oooo I'd love to win too! I suppose I don't have to subscribe to enter this competition? I can't afford to subscribe yet... saving up! Absolutely adore cooking. Wonder if Jamie Oliver will ever have a pda cooking app too? 8)

Nope. Registered doesn't mean subscribed. All you have to hope is that you're one of the lucky ones.

Hmm. Being able to go straight from a recipe to a shopping list would be useful.
