Overview:
Minibar version 3.2.1:
Mixology in the palm of your hand.
Minibar is a free bartending application designed for Palm handhelds and licensed under GPL. It can be useful to collect food recipes as well. Its database now includes 594 mixed drinks, spanning a wide range of drink types.
Included in Minibar's drink list are a variety of cocktails, cordials, shots, tropical, and non alcoholic drinks. Each recipe details the ingredients and glassware required, as well as directions on how to prepare the drink.
The provided database can easily be modified by adding/editing recipes or deleting unwanted ones. It can be organized into user created categories besides the predefined ones. One way to add recipes is to import them from memopad. Different type of recipes can be kept in separate data bases, and Minibar can switch between them. Recipes can be shared by exporting them to memopad and then printing or beaming them.
Recipe types are not limited to drinks recipes. Minibar can organize food recipes as well. Although no food recipe database is included with Minibar, it can easily be created through the import feature from sources like the internet.
Advanced filtering options allow quick access to recipes.
