Thanks for your answer. I don't have the knowledge base to attempt this 
myself. I'm at the point, since Apple will not update OS X beyond High 
Sierra on my version of Macbook, of just installing Ubuntu on my 
Macbook. My main PC is running Ubuntu and the Macbook is just for 
mobility.  If I could find a Linux recipe program to replace MacGourmet 
then I could switch all my platforms to Ubuntu.
