EveryLastRecipe User Accounts
 

Why should I create an EveryLastRecipe account? - Without an EveryLastRecipe user account you will be able to browse and search the site, but you won't be able to upload or download recipes. Your EveryLastRecipe account comes with one month of free downloads (up to 5000 recipes) and unlimited uploads. Extending your download privileges past the first month costs just $1 per month ($12 per year). Click here for more information.

How do I create a user account? - Click "Register" at the top of any page. Enter your user name, password and license information (creating an EveryLastRecipe account requires a valid Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion license) and click "Create your account". Click here for more information.

I have lost my password. What should I do? - Click the "sign in" link at the top of any page. Then click the "Click here if you have forgotten your password" link.

How do I change my password? - Go to your user control panel by clicking the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right). Click the "Change Password" link in the tool box.
Can I change my account's biography and location data after I have setup my account? - Yes. Go to your user control panel by clicking the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right). Click the "Update Profile Information " link in the tool box.
 
Downloading Recipes and Other Data
 

How do I download recipes to my computer? - Locate the recipes you want to download and click the download icon next to the recipe names to add them to your download basket. Once you have selected your recipes click the Download link in the tool box (top right). The download will start in approximately 3 seconds. Once the download is complete you can import the downloaded file into Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion. Free trial versions are available for all three products. Click here for more information.

Can I download recipes in other file formats? - No. FDX (Food Data Exchange) is the only supported format. FDX is the only file format capable of storing the recipe, ingredient, glossary item and technique data found on EveryLastRecipe.com. FDX is an XML format.

What is a download credit? - A download credit is the cost to download one recipe, ingredient, glossary item or technique. For example, downloading one recipe and nine ingredients would cost ten download credits.

Is there a limit to the number of recipes that I can download? - Creating an EveryLastRecipe account enables you to download up to 5000 recipes (5000 download credits) in your first month. To extend your download privileges past the first month will require the purchase of a subscription ($1 per month/$12 per year). If you want to download more than 5000 recipes per month you can purchase multiple subscriptions. Click here for more information.

I would like to download more than 5000 recipes per month. Can I increase my download limit? - Yes, you can increase your download limit in increments of 5000 download credits per month by purchasing multiple subscriptions. Click here for more information.
How can I find out how many download credits I have left this month? - Your download credit balance is displayed in your user control panel. To access your user control panel click the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right).
My dial-up connection died in the middle of downloading recipes. Will it cost me more download credits to download the same recipes again? - No. Provided you try again within 24 hours you will not be charged if you try your download again. To retry your download click the "Download Basket" link in the tool box (top right). Your download basket will show your last ten downloads. Click on one of the download session links to retry your download.
My Internet connection is very slow. Is it possible to compress the download files to make them smaller? - By default all download files are compressed (ZIP format). You can turn off compression by changing your download options in the user control panel. Click here for more information.
Many of the recipes I want to download include references to ingredients that I already have on my computer. Is there a way to download these recipes without downloading the ingredient data that I already have? - By default ingredients that are part of the Living Cookbook, Diet Pro and Bartender's Companion ingredient database are not included in the download file. This reduces the size of the download file and reduces the cost of the download by preventing the download of duplicate information. You can force the download of these ingredients by changing your download options in your user control panel. Click here for more information.
How do I remove items from my download basket? - Go to your download basket by clicking the "Download Basket" link in the tool box (top right). Click on the link that corresponds to the type of item you want to remove (e.g. Recipe, Ingredient, etc.). You should see a list of items in your download basket. Under each item there is a "Remove from download basket" link. Use these links to remove items from your download basket.
I found a user collection that I really like. Can I download the entire collection instead of adding each of the recipes to my download basket? - Yes. On the collection's home page (the one that displays the collection's name, comments, contents, etc.) click the "Add to download basket" link in the tool box (top right). Note that collections must be downloaded separately from other items. In other words, your download basket must be empty in before you can add a collection.
Why do collections have to be downloaded separately? Why can't I add a recipe to my download basket when it already contains a collection? - Collections must be downloaded and imported separately in order to keep other recipe and ingredient information from getting mixed in with your collection information. Collections normally contain a matched set of recipes (e.g. Barbecue Recipes) and you would normally not want other recipes to get mixed in with them when you import them into Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion.
 
Uploading Recipes and Other Data
 

Is there a limit to the number of recipes that I can upload? - No. But we reserve the right to remove duplicate collections, collections that violate copyrights and collections that contain offensive or otherwise inappropriate content.

What is a "collection"? - A collection is a set of recipes, ingredients, glossary items and/or techniques uploaded by a user. Collections can be downloaded in their entirety or you can select the individual recipes, ingredient glossary items or techniques that you would like to download.

Is there a charge for uploading recipe collections? - No. Uploading will not affect your download credits.

How do I change the name and comments for a collection? - Go to your user control panel by clicking the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right). Scroll down to locate your collection. Click the "Edit" link under your collection to edit the name and comments of your collection. Click here for more information.

How do I upload my recipes? - Use Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion to export your recipes to an FDX (Food Data Exchange) file. Then go to your EveryLastRecipe user control panel by clicking the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right). Once in the user control panel, click the "Upload collections" link in the tool box. Enter a name and comments for your collection, select your FDX file by clicking the browse button and then click the "Upload" button. Click here for more information.
If my exported recipes include images will the images be displayed when I upload them to EveryLastRecipe? - Yes. Recipe images and recipe source images will be displayed. EveryLastRecipe does not support recipe procedure images yet.
How do I add recipes to a collection that I have already uploaded? - To update an existing collection, use Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion to export an updated FDX (Food Data Exchange) file for your collection. Then go to your EveryLastRecipe user control panel by clicking the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right). Scroll down to locate your collection. Click the "Update" link under your collection. Click "Browse" to locate your updated FDX file and then click "Upload". Click here for more information.
Will updating a collection affect its statistics and will I lose my "Editor's Pick" status? - No. Updating a collection will not affect your collection's statistics and you will not lose your "Editor's Pick" status. However, although EveryLastRecipe attempts to match the recipes (and ingredients, glossary items and techniques) of the old collection with those of the new collection, if you have renamed any recipes EveryLastRecipe will not be able to match them and the statistics (such as popularity) of the individual recipes will be lost.
How do I delete a collection that I have uploaded? - You can only delete collections that you have uploaded. To delete one of your collections go to your user control panel by clicking the "User Control Panel" link in the tool box (top right). Scroll down to locate your collection. Click the "Delete" link under your collection to delete it. You will be asked whether you want to delete the collection. Click "Yes". Click here for more information.
Why do my uploaded recipes only appear under User Collections and not in the main recipe index? - EveryLastRecipe maintains its own list of recipes in the main recipe index. Some recipes from user collections are included in the main recipe index once it has been established that they are not duplicates, are of high quality, and do not violate any copyrights. If a user recipe (or ingredient, glossary item or technique) is included in the main recipe index, the user will be credited with the recipe and a link to the user will be displayed with the recipe.
 
Working with Recipes
 
Why aren't all of the recipes downloadable? - EveryLastRecipe is both a repository of recipes and an index of recipes across the Internet. If a recipe in the recipe index is located in the EveryLastRecipe database then the recipe is downloadable (the download icon will appear next to the recipe's name). If it is located on another website it will not be downloadable.

How can I create a printable version of a recipe without the ads and hyperlinks? - Click on the recipe name to display the recipe. Then click the "Print Full Page" link in the tool box (top right).

I want to create recipe cards. Can I format recipes for 3x5 or 4x6 index cards? - Yes. Click on the recipe name to display the recipe. Then click the "Print 3x5" link or the "Print 4x6" link in the tool box (top right).

Why don't all of the recipes have nutrition data? - Our recipes come from a variety of sources, not all of which provide nutrition information. We are in the process of calculating the nutrition for all of our recipes. Eventually all recipes will have nutrition data.
Can I change the format of the recipe nutrition data? - Yes. Click on the recipe name to display the recipe. Under "Nutrition Facts" click the "summary nutrition", "basic nutrition" or "detailed nutrition" links to change the format of the nutrition data. These links will not appear if the recipe has no nutrition data. Click here for more information.
How do I add a recipe to my download basket? - If the recipe is downloadable then you can add it to your download basket by clicking the download icon next to the recipe's name.

Can I see the nutrition data for other ingredient measures (e.g. 1 pound, 1 cup, 1 box, etc.)? - Yes. Click on the ingredient name to display the ingredient. Under "Nutrition Facts" click one of the "Available Sizes" links to recalculate the ingredient nutrition for the selected measure. Click here for more information.
