Mariner Software MacGourmet - Manual (Page 9)

Feature Overview
Your recipe box has 6 main lists for cataloging and storing your items. This list
is located on the left side navigation bar: Recipes, Cooking Notes, Shopping
Lists, Wine, Beer, Cheese. Each of these lists holds the master copy of each re-
spective item type in your database. You can easily put items in lists that you
create, but they really just refer back to the master copy.
For instance, if you create three of your own lists and then drag a recipe from
your “Recipes” list to each of these three lists, you will see four copies of your
recipe in different locations. There will, however, only be one ORIGINAL copy.
The other three recipes that you see in the lists that you created are really just
pointers back to the master copy. This means that modifying that recipe any-
where will change all the instances of that recipe, no matter where you put it.
L TIP: If you delete an item in one of your lists, it is
removed from your list. It is not removed from
your database unless you explicitly delete it, or
you delete it from one of your “MY” lists.
