EveryLastRecipe.com integration
EveryLastRecipe is the Internet's largest recipe search engine. Our goal was to index every recipe on the Internet. We are getting pretty close. We have indexed over 2 million recipes so far and we have identified another 600,000 that will be indexed soon. EveryLastRecipe was designed from the ground up to be large, fast, feature-rich and fully integrated with Living Cookbook.
One-click downloads from EveryLastRecipe.com
Every recipe indexed by EveryLastRecipe is available as a one-click download from Living Cookbook's Internet navigator. Just use Living Cookbook's embedded web browser to go to the recipe webpage and click the Download button on the download notification control that appears at the top of the page. You can choose the target cookbook and chapter (where you want the downloaded recipe to live) as you download each recipe, or you can configure your recipe download options such that all downloaded recipes are put in a specific cookbook or chapter, or you can use Living Cookbook's new autoarchive feature to organize your downloads for you.
Choose from over 2 million recipes
The EveryLastRecipe download service will be a subscription service but it will be free to all registered users of the most current version. In other words, registered users of Living Cookbook 2013 won't pay anything for the download service until the next major release of Living Cookbook and if you upgrade to the next version it will continue to be free. Recipe downloads will be limited to 1000 recipes per month until we can determine the number of additional web servers we will need to support the service.
Integrated EveryLastRecipe.com search
"Internet" is now an option in the "Search In" list on the search toolbar. This option offers a quick way to search for recipe on EveryLastRecipe.
Autoarchive recipe downloads
Downloaded recipes can be organized into cookbooks and chapters automatically. For example, you can configure a chapter for Italian recipes and all downloaded recipes with "Italian" in the recipe type field will land in the chapter. Or you can configure another chapter for pizzas. All recipes with pizza in the recipe name or recipe type will end up in the chapter.
Recent downloads menu item
The 10 most recently downloaded recipes appear in the new Recent Downloads menu on Living Cookbook's File menu. The Recent Downloads menu is hidden until you download your first recipe. The recent downloads list is reset each time you run Living Cookbook.

General enhancements
Autoarchive recipe and ingredient imports
The autoarchive options you set up for downloads can also be used for imported recipes and ingredients.
Nutrition graphs
Living Cookbook 2013 gives you the option to display three nutrition graphs for recipes, ingredients, menus and meal plans. The three nutrition graphs are: 1) Calorie distribution pie chart (the percentage of calories coming from carbs, fat, protein and alcohol); 2) Carb-protein ratio pie chart (the ratio of calories from carbs vs. protein); and 3) Percent of recommended daily allowance bar chart (the percentage of RDA for each nutrient expressed as a bar chart). You can choose to display any or all (or none) of these charts. You can also customize the colors, fonts, font sizes, etc.
Customize user data display and print
We have expanded the display options for recipe, ingredient and menu user data. You can now choose to show or hide individual user data fields.
Nutrition calculation mode added to paste special
The nutrition calculation mode for recipes (automatic, semi-automatic and manual) can be copied and pasted (using the paste special feature). This is useful when you want to change the nutrition calculation mode for a large number of recipes. The nutrition calculation mode can be displayed in the recipe list view and it is now a searchable attribute.
Item IDs added to advanced search
Item IDs (e.g. recipe ID, ingredient ID, etc.) are now searchable attributes.
Select all/select none buttons in import and export options
Select All and Select None buttons have been added to the import and export option dialogs to make it easier to select all or none of the import and export attributes.
MyPoints updated to include alcohol and sugar alcohols
The MyPoints algorithm and interface have been updated to support alcohol and sugar alcohols. This will help our many Weight Watchers® users who requested the ability to use the updated PointsPlus® formula with Living Cookbook.
Four new video file formats
Living Cookbook now supports MOV, MP4, 3GP and M2V video file formats in addition to MPEG, AVI, ASX, SWF, FLV and WMV.
