Really easy to use, FREE program that makes entering, saving, and printing recipes a breeze, even for a neophyte. This may be the best of its kind, so far.

I’m a user and would love to share (as I’ve been trying to use that feature too). Word of warning though, all my recipes are vegan.

Re: Admin pw request

I emailed the developer and he told me following:

– If you are not running as administrator, it will ask for the password. The reason is that it needs to install a schema file at /Library/Application Support/Shallot Patch/Measuring Cup/foodRecipe_1_0.xsd. It is installed at the /Library level so that other users can share it as well.

So double thumbs up to the dev for both an excellent app and fantastic support. Cheers!

Hey cool just installed this on my gf’s MacBook. Pretty basic but gets the job done, like you said.

@JamesC: I didn’t get the admin pw request here. Leopard 10.5.1.

I like the idea of this, but why does it ask for my admin password when i start it? Is there a way to check what it is doing and why? details just says Right: system.privilege.admin but not why measuring cup needs it.

Looks interesting, even if it uses the now-deprecated Aqua drawers. I’ve tried all the shareware recipe organisers, and none of them works quite right. I look forward to giving this one a shot.
