1. There's interest here, I use mastercook on Windows VM. It's the only 
program I've ever liked and they stopped developing it some time ago.

3. Simple listing is key of course, but I have graphics that I scan in 
from magazines like Food & Wine and such. Wine Pairing section, ratings, 
search by ingredient, (probably not very easy, but Nutrition info is 
always nice), import from MasterCook would be great too.

6. Good luck! I'd love to test when you are ready.
