This reminds me - you know what I really miss? The old original MasterCook. You could BUY your copy, you didn't need any web involvement, entering could be a little fussy (not a lot different from creating an Etsy listing) but if you were careful you could not only adjust for portion size but you could make your own cookbook! Print it out! With nutritional information boxes! (I did this for a few of the bakery recipes at the Night Kitchen when I worked there.)
I found out it was still around - but now it's a cloud based system and you don't "buy" a copy, you LEASE it by the month.
Ugh.
I think when my new (used) 540 Thinkpad arrives next week, and I've got Kubuntu properly installed on it, I'm going to see if there's a similar Linux program. I don't do a lot of cooking now (C's second child, eldest daughter is running the kitchen now) but I do a fair bit of small serving experimentation in the cottage for my own self, and I'd like to write down and store my successes.
