• Recipie Managers

    I am thinking I need to buy a recipie manager for windows. Meal Master doesnt pass the muster these days. But it still
    needs to be comaptable with the file format.

    I am thinking I need to buy a recipie manager for windows. Meal Master doesnt pass the muster these days. But it still needs to be comaptable
    with the file format.

    AnyMeal is a free recipe manager for Windows that is compatible with the Meal-Master format:

    I've seen another echo user recommend AccuChef, which is also free of
    charge:

    Title: Sweet-Sour Beef
    Categories: Main dishes, Meat, Beef
    Yield: 5 Servings

    2 tb Soy sauce
    2 tb Sherry
    1 ts Sugar
    1 lb Round steak; thinly sliced
    2 tb Cornstarch
    1 c Water; divided
    1 lg Onion; cut in 8 wedges
    2 lg Cloves garlic; minced
    2 lg Carrots; sliced thin
    -diagonal
    1 lg Green pepper; cut in chunks
    1 lg Broccoli spear; cut in
    -pieces
    1/2 c Catsup
    1/4 c Cider or rice vinegar
    1/2 c Sugar
    1 ts Chili paste; optional
    2 c Grapefruit sections
    Oil

    In a bowl mix well soy sauce, sherry and 1 tsp sugar; add meat and
    toss to coat. Marinate meat for at least 15 minutes, tossing
    occasionally. Drain meat; reserving the marinade for sauce. In a
    large heavy skillet or wok, heat a little oil until hot but not
    smoking. Over medium-high heat stir-fry meat for about 1 minute or
    till almost done. Remove meat, set aside and keep warm.

    In a small bowl mix together catsup, 1/2 cup sugar, vinegar and chili
    paste. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup water and cornstarch.

    Add the carrot and any broccoli stem pieces to the skillet and stir
    fry for 1 or 2 minutes, add the onion and garlic and stir fry for
    about 1 more minute. Add 1/2 cup of the water and cook for a few
    minutes more till carrot is almost crisp tender. Add a little
    additional oil if necessary. Add green pepper and any broccoli
    florets and cook an additional 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in reserved
    marinade. Stir in the catsup mixture and heat through. Add
    cornstarch/water mixture and cook and stir till sauce bubbles and
    thickens. Fold in meat and grapefruit sections. Serve immediately.

    Makes 4 to 6 servings.

    Mardi's notes: I got the original for this recipe from Woman's Day
    Magazine, February 1981 but made a few modifications. The original
    called for the meat slices to be coated with additional cornstarch
    before browning and used 1/4 tsp black pepper instead of the chili
    paste. I added the broccoli and doubled the amount of carrot because
    it seemed to need more veggies. The vegetables could be varied
    according to your preference. Cauliflower, snow peas and mushrooms
    would likely all be good additions.

    You may find the taste to be on the sweet side but it was well
    received by my tasters. It would be a simple matter to cut back on
    the amount of sugar. You could maybe start with 1/4 or 1/3 cup sugar
    and add more if needed.
