Absolutely. You can incorporate any recipe from any specialty diet into your cooking day. For help with a specific recipe, post a question in the Monthly Cooking Facebook group.
You’re in the right place! My kids didn’t like foods that were all mixed together like casseroles, or sauces, or eating the heads of asparagus (what?!)… and we were able to navigate all their preferences easily because we could use any recipe in this system.
The recipe collection and meal planning system works best with a laptop or PC, but can also be used on a mobile phone or tablet with a current subscription to recipes apps like Paprika, or a free list app like AnyList.
A printer is important for printing the recipes for your cooking day to avoid damaging laptops or other devices in the messy environment of a kitchen. However, if you feel comfortable viewing and editing recipes from a device and are not concerned about moisture damage, you can be successful without a printer.
No, you do not have to use MasterCook software or any digital app, though I highly recommend it. There is instruction in the course for doing everything manually if that is what you are used to. Whatever method of recipe management you choose, our monthly cooking meal prep course helps you cook one day a month so dinner every night is a breeze!
Yes, you can use MasterCook on Mac. To do so, you will need Windows 8 or newer installed onto your Mac computer in order to use the MasterCook software. However, if that is not an option for you, our monthly cooking system also works with apps like Paprika, Big Oven, and more.
Yes, you can import recipes from other recipe software or apps like Big Oven, Cook’n, Key Gourmet, Living Cookbook, MacGourmet, Meal Master, Micro Cookbook, Now You’re Cooking, and Paprika to MasterCook so all your recipes are in one place. Find detailed instructions on this topic here.
Monthly Cooking Meal Prep uses ALL these methods of making meals ahead! You can use our system to incorporate ANY make-ahead method, appliance, or time frame (monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly). Meal planning is easiest when you have control over every part of the planning process.
We are totally committed to helping you bring this course to life in your kitchen to make dinnertime easier. Yet we understand there may be extenuating circumstances so we offer a full refund when requested within 14 days of purchase. Contact us at support@monthlycooking.com for refund inquiries.
Each purchase and course enrollment is for single use only. However, we value community and are happy to offer super-special friend discounts. Contact us at support@monthlycooking.com for more details.
One of the benefits of always having meals in the freezer is being able to help others who may be ill or recovering from surgery, new moms, or grieving families. We look forward to offering group accounts in the future as the course becomes more refined and we can ensure a smooth experience when that becomes available.
