Awhile back, I reviewed Connoisseur as a more fully-featured alternative to Measuring Cup for organizing and using recipes on your Mac. While the program had every feature I was looking for, its developers, The Little App Factory, apparently no longer offer support or answer e-mails.

Based on a recommendation in the comments I’ve tried out YummySoup as an alternative. YummySoup, shares many of the same features as Connoisseur. It comes with a fair library of recipes sorted into categories and rated by taste and difficulty, and gives you access to a small database of recipes from various websites.

If you’re in the business of web pages chances are you manage more than just a few. One of the most annoying thing about managing websites for other people is keeping track of all their server information - registrars, hosts, ftp accounts, all those usernames and passwords. It can be a real pain to keep this data close at hand.

ServerSkine purports to be a tool to take care of exactly this kind of information, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

I love to cook; I also love to have my MacBook in the kitchen with me when I’m cooking. I have a bunch of recipes bookmarked on del.icio.us and I usually just prop my MacBook up on a chair while I cook.

Unfortunately, I hate going back and forth between what I’m doing and my laptop, because I’m afraid I’ll spill something on it. Recently Doc Logic here at MacApper covered Measuring Cup, a free recipe manager for OS X.
