printed book. With your electronic cookbook
you can
• search for recipes by their ingredients,
category or name;
• find nutrition information on each recipe;
• read special helps such as
Refrigerator Storage

• highlight words in text to search;
• place your own notes as bookmarks;
and

pressing the appropriate function keys.
