You can contact them through Amazon's 'contact the seller' option without having to yield your email address.

To make custom food choices you will have to allow the company sending you the product to email you a listing of food choices. From there you can customize your choices and it is quite easy.

I simply did a Google search for some recipes and also watched some You Tube videos for ideas as well. I noted several and then tweaked my own recipes to my liking.

I would think you could use a blend, but it's not an option to choose on the cards. It might be interesting to see what everyone guesses when they taste the blend. If you want to stick with the choices that are given, a blend can't be used. But my personal opinion is that it would be fun.

I honestly haven't gotten around to really plugging in stuff from my pantry inventory yet. This is what the product info says-- Working with inventory: Manage your kitchen inventory. Control the ordering properties of any inventory item (minimum order quantity, order at level, order up to level, etc.). Share inventory data with other Living Cookbook users. Customize inventory displays using your choice of fonts, background colors, headings and more. Create a printable inventory worksheet to help you take stock of your kitchen. Compare any two inventory items side-by-side.

You can save weekly menu plans in the "Notes" section and you can retrieve the plans as desired. You can have shopping lists for multiple recipes to simplify shopping.

You can put your own recipes in this software. I did a cookbook for my children a few years ago and also put most of the recipes from it onto my Cook'n. you can also make your own cookbook from the software but at the time i found it easier to use MS Publisher. I need to do another printing because i have gotten many more requests for it, so may try it this time from Cook'n and see if it's easier with version 10. But it is a good place to organize all of your own family recipes.

Assign favorite entries into categories is definitely the way to go.I've done that all along and found the lists very manageable.

I found the recipes at the web site help and a begining point to create my own, Great and easy to use I will keep trying more It would help if company had a web site where users could put up recipes and comments.

You can program to say whatever name you want. Favorite food, etc. This is so much fun. I ended up buying 3 for gifts. Hope this helps. Jo

Yes, the food choices are reasonable and very filling. The book that comes with the drops outlines everything in great detail and there are always recipes being posted on the Facebook support page by everyone on the plan. The plan really doesn't recommend eating out, but I have to quite often when I travel for work so I just try and eat a salad with either a grilled chicken breast, a grilled steak, steamed fish, etc. It's really not an issue and I've lost 35 pounds so far - good luck!

It has a recipe book that comes with it but you could just look at one of them that is close if you want to change it a little and be just fine, that is what I've done. I have made peach jam, blueberry jam, grape jelly and blackberry jelly this year with it and they all turned out great even though I used my recipes.

I wish I could give you an answer to this - the manual is sorely lacking in some areas. When (or should I say IF) Customer Service responds to your query, could you post it here? I would like to know the times for all the menu selections.

I'm going to go the netbook and allrecipes.com route also. If I'm going to spend a few hundred dollars on something cooking specific, then when I come home after work too exhausted to think or plan, or if I tell the girls in my running group to drop by for snacks in a few hours, I want to do a search for ingredients I have on hand, and have some recipes pop up right away. Searching by first letter of recipe title or by tags is simply not enough functionality.Cheryl, you have to be crafty about getting those calls from your daughters. Don't load their favourite recipes onto the site. :-D I'm going to go the netbook and allrecipes.com route also.

Bonanza -- I think one of the best things about PTF is that there is absolutely no expectation of auto ordering. In fact some of the recipes they suggest involve other proteins. I assume that they choose somewhat cheaper proteins so that people aren't forced to pay more for their food. (The cost for PTF is less than Nutra----- and J-----C-----) but you can always add in steak, seafood or whatever your preference. Remember, meat, eggs and seafood are UNLIMITED; so enjoy yourself!
