Tip: Drag & drop the recipes into Shop’NCook to use!

Have a festive Fourth of July!

This is last minute, but… If you haven’t yet planned your Christmas day menu, are expecting visitors, don’t know what to make and how… This could be a life saver.

There is a hidden Christmas menu in Shop’NCook Menu and Pro.

Click on the Library tab of the Calendar, select “Example of complete menu” and display the Menu manager. Just set the number of servings, add the ingredients to the shopping list, print the menu and the recipes… and you are good to go!

Merry Christmas to all!

Have you noticed the new software boxes on Shop’NCook website for a few days? Aren’t they pretty? A very talented designer made them for me. I had done the previous ones myself. Here they are:

After:

It is easy to see why it is not my artistic talents that make Shop’NCook such a great software…

Anyway, here is the holiday special:

Order before December 20 Shop’NCook Home, Menu or Pro with a back-up CD in a sleeve (it costs just $10 more than the version for download), and receive instead the CD in a DVD box with the pretty new covers. Plus, the shipping is on me! Wouldn’t Shop’NCook make a great gift for Christmas?

Note: according to USPS holiday guidelines, packages shipped in the US by priority mail before or on December 20 should reach you by December 25.
