Using the MacGourmet Deluxe Recipe Web Page Import

Service

MacGourmet Deluxe makes it super easy to import recipes from certain, sup-
ported web sites including allrecipes.com, epicurious.com, foodnetwork.com,
williams-sonoma.com, cookinglight.com, food.yahoo.com, plus many more.

1. Go to the recipe page on your favorite, supported web site. Note that you

have to go to one of their standard recipe pages for the importer to work.
Recipes on featured pages, special pages, etc. are not usually supported by
the importer.

2. Select the entire URL in the address bar of your web browser.

3. Choose Services > MacGourmet Deluxe > Import Recipe From Web Page, or

press ⇧⌘R

4. After a moment, a Recipe Import Assistant window (described above) will

open with all of the recipe information already filled in. Verify that your in-
formation is correct, make any desired changes, and Save. Note: Occasion-
ally, because of the many variations of information, sometimes the informa-
tion will not be retrieved in its entirety. When this happens, you can still
make a web clipping and import the recipe that way.

Note: MacGourmet Deluxe uses web page “scraping” to get recipe information.
Recipe web sites tend to change their code often, and this will sometimes break
the web page import service for that site. If this happens, while waiting for a
fix, you can still import a recipe using the web clipping service.

TIP: MacGourmet Deluxe can import files that have
been saved in the following formats:

Paprika, SousChef, MasterCook, MasterCook Mac,
Meal-Master, CookWare Deluxe, Cook’n text, RecipeML,
Yum XML, plus many more!
