The RECIPE INDEX SYSTEM lets you index your recipes and then search
through that index to quickly locate the names of recipes containing
specific ingredients or of a certain category. It does not store the
actual recipes themselves. You enter the principal ingredients of each
recipe, not the steps used to create the food. The reports created by
the search function do not create shopping lists or give portion size.

The RECIPE INDEX SYSTEM is completely menu-driven and fully documented.
The most common use of this software is by people who have many
cookbooks and food journals. They enter the name of the recipes they
like, the ingredients, a source (name of book or journal) for the recipe
(including page number), and category and style fields. When they use
the search function to look for recipes that meet certain criteria, the
source and page number information are used to find complete details
about the recipe. This saves having to enter into the computer endless
details that are already in the books and journals.

Although originally designed to work with food recipes, this system can
also index other concerns -- like contents of drawers and storage boxes,
or books and the major topics they cover. Any endeavor that can be
broken into entries and subparts (like ingredients) can be indexed. You
could even use it to track the contents of video tapes.
