Categories

How do I add, edit, or delete categories?

ON THE COMPUTER

Categories are part of a cookbook in MasterCook on the computer. To add, edit, or delete categories in MasterCook on the computer, open one of your cookbooks. Select Modify > Categories from the Tools menu. Each cookbook has its own set of categories (You wouldn't want a fish category within a dessert cookbook for example), so you have to edit each cookbook separately. It's possible to have the same category in multiple cookbooks. You can easily copy categories from one cookbook to another by copying a recipe with categories into another cookbook. The categories come along with the recipe. Then you can delete the recipe if you do not want it to remain in the cookbook.

ONLINE

Categories are global in your MasterCook.com account.

The only way you can edit, add, or delete online categories is through the mobile app. Go to the Settings screen in the mobile app. Select Manage Categories. Tap and hold a category name to edit or delete from your online account.
