There are a couple other websites I like that work better with Paprika also. Cook'n does not recognize the ATK recipes as being in the correct format so I have to do a lot of copy and paste. I'm a big America's Test Kitchen fan and Paprika loads recipes from their site with one click. and all the pictures! I've also had better luck with the web import feature. Everything comes through - notes, sources, etc. You can only load 50 recipes on the trial version but I had one file that only had 25 so I tried with that file and love how close they look to the Living Cookbook format. I have only loaded the free trial so far as I was trying to give Cook'n support time to work things out. Paprika on the other hand seems to work great. And my biggest cookbook won't load at all. Others say they are loading but then there are zero recipes in the cookbook. The FDX files via LivingCookbookRescue do not import all the time - I got one cookbook to load but the photos haven't yet. But I'm still having issue getting my Living Cookbook recipes to import. I really wanted Cook'n to work for me - it has lots of bells and whistles like scanning in printed recipes from a photo. Some of you may remember me as Chef Jon in the Living Cookbook user forums. Living Cookbook Rescue can be downloaded here: If you know anyone with trapped recipes, please spread the word. The User Guide has an email address to connect with me to see if older versions can be added (I'll need volunteer recipe backup data from those older versions). Living Cookbook 2015, 20 are only supported right now because those are the only working versions I have on any of my systems. The installer puts both utilities on your system along with a User Guide. If you don't have a backup file, but your data is still in your Living Cookbook installation, there is a second utility program (FakeLCBackup) which looks for your data files and creates an *.lcb file usable as input. A combined Word document has a table of contents. The program gives you the option of producing a single, combined file with all your recipes, combined files grouped by cookbook, or individual files, one file per recipe. I have written a free utility called Living Cookbook Rescue which can read one of your Living Cookbook 2015, 2013 or 2011 backup files (*.lcb) and then export:įiles in Living Cookbook's native export format (*.fdx), which can be imported into other recipe software.Ī nicely-formatted Microsoft Word document. But I see posts in cooking forums where hard drives fail, or computers are replaced, and folks can't get their software to work anymore because of license key issues. We know Radium Technologies has stopped supporting the software for a few years now. I've become aware that there are still Living Cookbook users who have their recipes trapped in the software. As always when installing software from unknown sources, please use care and take precautions before installing. HOST'S NOTE: The eG Forums are allowing this post by new member jtemplin as a service to our members, but we have not vetted the software itself. PM'ed and an old copy of lcsetup40.exe provided to test. If you have this release, or one of the others mentioned in the Paprika note above, please contact me. I'm hoping the 2013 version (lcsetup40.exe) can read the database. The 2008 version 2008 (lcsetup30.exe) cannot read the database of the 2015 version. Anyone know how to get around this? Or anyone want to lend me their CD key and Unlock Key to see if it'll work on my computer? I have the option to manually activate but after I enter my CD key I get a prompt asking for an Unlock Key, which I don't have and have never had. I also have 2015 (lcsetup50.exe) and I can't get either one of them to successfully register because it can't reach the Living Cookbook registration server. I have Living Cookbook 2008 and the file is called lcsetup20.exe. If you have this release, or one of the others mentioned in the Paprika note above, please contact me.įYI, I think lcsetup30.exe is Living Cookbook 2011. The 2008 version 2008 (lcsetup30.exe ) cannot read the database of the 2015 version. If you are having trouble importing a file from Living Cookbook, please try generating an export file using an older version (v5.0.76 or earlier) or their pre-release version (v5.0.89). Note: We've noticed that recent versions of Living Cookbook 2015 (v5.0.85) are creating broken export files that cannot be read past the first recipe. The Paprika menu manager web site () recommends using a prior version of Living Cookbook to create these files: Unfortunately, the export function in v 5.0.85 does not create properly formatted fdx or fdxz export files. I'm looking for a version of Living Cookbook earlier than v 5.0.85.
