I'm entering the final phase of a major kitchen renovation and have been ending more and more time staring at my shiny new a liances and into the cu oards trying to think of what to cook when it's all done. I recently downloaded MacGourmet and the included sample recipes have already given me lots of i iration and I've already started cataloging my meager wine collection with it. As soon as the final touches are put on my new kitchen, I am sure I will be filling the digital Recipe Box with some of my own tasty treats!
