This is a fun computer project: apparently there was a DOS program called Edna's Cook Book where you had to type in & save your own recipes. This program reads that old data file to recover your family recipes.

After unearthing my family's 30 year old computer, I found it had some recipes saved on it in the program Edna's Cook Book. There were 149 recipes saved in program! My dad typed in each one. Edna's Cook Book didn't come with any preprogrammed recipes. I cook at home a lot, and I collect a lot of cook books, and I couldn't leave all these recipes in a program that can only be accessed with DOS, so here we are. And now this exists in case anyone else finds their own recipes in Edna's cook book. I only hope the search engines can point them here.
