About this
Cookbook
Introduction
Congratulations! You now own a portable,
powerful cooking reference that you can
take anywhere. This electronic cookbook
can help you find recipes in a number of
easy ways you can’t execute by using a
printed book. With your electronic cookbook
you can
• search for recipes by their ingredients,
category or name;
• find nutrition information on each recipe;
• read special helps such as
Freezer and
Refrigerator Storage , or
Substitutions for Emergencies ;
• highlight words in text to search;
• place your own notes as bookmarks;
and
• go directly to a cross-reference and
back.
It’s as simple as typing words and then
pressing the appropriate function keys.
