Favored Freeware: Measuring Cup

Measuring Cup is a recipe management program written in Cocoa, specifically for the Mac OS X operation system. I would like to think that it is the easiest to use recipe management software out there in the Mac OS X land. Think iTunes or iPhoto for recipes.

Pros: Measuring Cup is very easy to use and presents your recipes in a simplified and easy-to-navigate format, “think [of this as] iTunes or iPhoto for recipes.” In case of emergencies, Measuring Cup automatically keeps a separate backup file of your recipe database.

Cons: None significant.
