Q: How do I import my recipes from MasterCook Mac 4.06?

A: There is no way to import your MasterCook files directly: you first have to export them from MasterCook:

You need to open a collection, say “15-minute Meals,” go to the index, select all of the recipes, or the recipes you want, then select the “Export Selected Recipe(s)” menu item from the Recipe menu, and choose the “Mac Format” menu item in the save dialog. You must add a .mcmac file extension to the file you create as well, or add it to the file after it’s been created.

This will create a file that is in the correct format for import into MacGourmet, a MasterCook Mac file. After saving the file as a “Mac Format” file, you can then import that file into MacGourmet.
