From the developer: "EzGourmet is the realization of a dream of collecting only the best and bringing it to you in an easy to use program. Of course quality is one thing: Quantity is something else! -Not only are the recipes that EzGourmet delivers to you of the highest caliber (most selected from private collections), but through our continuing collection efforts, EzGourmet boasts a collection of over 1.5 Million recipes - with over 700,000 now available in digital form! With so many recipes available, it is only natural that the free version of EzGourmet would come with 500 recipes - many more than most cook books. We give them to you for free, just to help introduce you to EzGourmet!"
