If you have a set of existing recipes that you wish to use as a new cookbook, then you can quickly and easily do this.

First, select the recipes you wish to include in the cookbook, using command + select or shift + select, Then from the 'Recipe' menu, move down to the 'New Cookbook With These XX Recipes...' option. You can also use the context menu.

This will then open a window that lets you add details of the new cookbook you wish to create. On this window you can specify a cookbook Title, Author, Publisher, Copyright and Description and Filename. The Filename field will automatically be populated using the Title you give the cookbook.

By selecting the Locked check box, the recipes in that cookbook cannot be deleted or exported by anyone else using your cookbook with their own copy of TheRecipeManager.

Using this command will create copies of the recipes in the new cookbook and the existing recipes will remain in the original cookbook.
