How do I upload my cookbook of recipes or just individual recipes from MasterCook for Windows to MasterCook.com?
To upload selected recipes or a cookbook of recipes to MasterCook.com you will first need to export your recipes from the MasterCook PC app as .MZ2 files. This is done by:
1. Select Export and Mail from the File menu in MasterCook and click on the Folder tab in the Export and Mail window that appears.
2. At the top of the Export tab select the folder on your computer where you wish for it to save the MZ2 file.
3. Use the MasterList to select all the recipes you want and drag/drop them into the box in the Export and Mail window. (You drag the recipe titles in the RIGHT pane of the MasterList window and drop them into the box in the Export and Mail window.) See this image:
4. Under Export Options be sure you have MC 14 Format With Images (*.MZ2) selected.
5. Down at the bottom of the Export and Mail window make sure you use the Single File setting and type in a name for the .mz2 file that will be created with all of those recipes inside that one .mz2 file.
WARNING: Right now there is a problem with uploading .mz2 files if the recipes have assigned cuisines. Create a new cookbook in MasterCook. Copy your recipes into this new cookbook. Remove the cuisines from the cookbook. Select Modify > Cuisines from the Tools menu while viewing this cookbook. Remove all of the cuisines listed. Then export to .mz2 and see if uploading works better.
