• Recipe Name
• Rating
• Servings
• Meal
• Main Ingredient
• Origin
• Locked
• Notes
Additionally, a gallery of images appears across the top
of the Recipe Browser (the Viewing area when showing
recipes). These images are the first image in each
recipe or a default placeholder if the recipe doesn’t
have an image.
44
You.can.change.the.number.of.columns.shown.or.the.
order.of.the.columns.by.customizing.your.version.of.
Recipe.Manager..See.Chapter 3: Using Recipe Manager.

if.it.is.not.correct,.keep.typing.
46
To support recipe scaling, if an ingredient has a

range for the Quantity, use a hyphen (-) between
the values (for example, 1-2 Cups). .
.
To have the shopping list ignore an ingredient, put
5 equal signs (=) on either side of the ingredient in
the Item column. (For example, if you always keep
plenty of sugar on hand, use =====Sugar=====
when adding it as an ingredient in a recipe.) This
will signal to the software that this item does not
need to be added to the list.
7 After adding all the ingredients, click the pointer
in the Directions box and type the directions or
instructions for preparing the recipe.
8 If needed, scroll below the Directions box and add
any additional information you have for this recipe:
Meal, Main Ingredient or Keywords.
.

boxes appears in the Recipe Browser. Keywords
are used when you search for a recipe.
9 If you have a digital photo of the recipe or a video
clip to include, drag and drop the file into the
box below the Drop Recipe Image or Video Below
heading..
.
You can add more than one digital photo to each
recipe. If you have iPhoto® on your Macintosh

Recipe Manager for details.
By default, Recipe Manager sorts the recipes
alphabetically by name. You can re-sort the information
in the Viewing area by clicking a column. If you click a
heading again, Recipe Manager re-sorts the information
in reverse order. For example, if the recipes are shown
in alphabetical order by name, clicking the Recipe
Name heading changes the sort order from A-Z to Z-A.

Combining Entries in the Shopping List

When you view the Shopping List by ingredient, you
may notice several entries for the same ingredient.

Shopping List pane.
2 If you wish, specify By Ingredient on the toolbar for
the Shopping List.

.
In the ‘by ingredient’ view the items are grouped
together. To select adjacent items, select the first
item and then press the Shift key as you click the
last entry for this ingredient. To select items that
are not adjacent, press the Cmd key (Macintosh) or
the Ctrl key (Windows) as you click each item.

Chapter 9:
Solving Problems
This chapter includes answers to some questions that
you might have about working with Food Network Recipe
Manager.
I want to import a recipe, but I keep getting an error

message.
Recipe Manager can only import recipes that are
*.fnrecipes files.
If you have a recipe as a text or word-processing file,
open it a word-processing application. Then create a new
recipe in Recipe Manager and copy and paste (or type) the
information into the recipe details in the Viewing area.
I’m trying to change a recipe, but I can’t.

The recipe may be locked. In this case, you can modify
and re-name a copy of the recipe, but you cannot change
original locked recipes.
I’m trying to delete a recipe that I don’t like, but I can’t.

You cannot delete recipes from provided, locked cookbooks.
You can only delete recipes that you’ve added to custom
cookbooks or from the My Recipes cookbook.
93
Solving Problems
For some reason, I can’t use any of the commands on

the menu bar.
If.you’re.creating.or.editing.a.cookbook,.recipe,.or.meal,.
you.must.click.the.Save.button.before.you.can.use.any.
menu.commands.
I’m searching for a recipe that I know I have, but I can’t

find it in any cookbook.
The.Recipe.Manager.search.function.uses.filters.and.
the.default.filter.is.Keyword..
If.you.didn’t.change.the.default.filter,.the.words.
you.typed.in.the.Search.box.don’t.match.any.of.the.
keywords.in.the.recipe..Try.using.a.different.filter.
by.clicking.the.icon.for.the.Search.box.and.selecting.
another.filter.and.searching.again.
Also,.you.could.be.searching.in.the.wrong.cookbook..
Recipe.Manager.only.searches.through.the.currently.
open.and.active.cookbook..To.search.through.all.
recipes,.click.the.View All Recipes.button.on.the.
Cookbooks/Meals.pane.or.the.Food Network logo.above.
the.Cookbooks/Meals.pane before.searching.
94
I’ve set up a timer, but for some reason I can no longer

see it.
If you’ve set up a timer and then done something else
with Recipe Manager (such as opened a recipe in the
Cooking View window), the timer is behind the active
window. To view the timer, choose Window  Kitchen
Timer - timer name to bring it forward again.
I’m having problems printing recipes or other

information.
To print a recipe, you must select a recipe in the Recipe
Browser. Also, if you’re editing a recipe, you must click
the Save button before you can use any commands.
Be sure that you’ve selected the correct printer in the
Print dialog box (Macintosh) or Job Setup dialog box
(Windows).
Try printing something from another application to that
printer. If you are still unable to print, the problem is
with the printer. Check the printer’s documentation for
troubleshooting information. If you can print from the
other application, check your print settings in both the
Page Setup and the Print dialog boxes (Macintosh) or
the Print Setup and Job Setup dialog boxes (Windows).
95
Solving Problems
I want to export a recipe, but the Export commands

aren’t available in the File menu.
To export a recipe, you must select a recipe in the
Recipe Browser.
Also, if you’re editing a recipe, you must click the Save
button before you can use any commands.
