MacGourmet Deluxe
MacGourmet Deluxe is a recipe management and meal planning application for macOS that lets users create, import, organize and scale recipes, plan meals, analyze nutritional information, and generate shopping lists. Users can add images to recipes and cooking steps, search ingredients, get recipe suggestions, and share recipes via email and social media. The app includes a Chef's View mode for distraction-free cooking and integrates with Mariner Cloud for syncing recipes across devices. It was primarily used by home cooks and food enthusiasts who wanted to centralize their recipe collection and manage meal planning in one place.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMacGourmet Deluxe appears to have been discontinued by Mariner Software. The app has not received meaningful updates since version 4.3.2, and based on the search results and forum discussions, the developer is no longer actively supporting the product. While some sources mention the app is compatible with Apple Silicon, there is no clear evidence of an actively maintained native build being distributed. Since the app is no longer under development and will not survive the removal of Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should begin planning a transition to an actively maintained alternative. Mela is a modern, actively developed recipe manager that runs natively on Apple Silicon and can import recipes from websites and RSS feeds, making it a straightforward replacement. Other options include Paprika 3 (also native on Apple Silicon, with meal planning and grocery list features) or Cooklist. All three are available on the Mac App Store and offer modern interfaces with ongoing developer support.
