MealMaster Recipes Deserve a Modern Home
MealMaster was the recipe manager of the pre-web era. If you built a collection in the 1990s or 2000s, you may have hundreds — or thousands — of recipes in .mmf files that no modern app can open. Flour Power, combined with MoveMyRecipes.com, gives those recipes a permanent, modern home with family sharing, AI enrichment, and open data export.

The MealMaster Problem
MealMaster used a plain-text .mmf format that was revolutionary for the 1990s. The software itself ran on DOS and Windows 3.x. Today, no modern recipe app reads .mmf files natively — leaving decades of carefully curated recipes stranded in an unreadable format.
The typical pattern: someone discovers a folder of .mmf files on an old hard drive, tries to open them, and hits a wall. The solution is a two-step migration: convert with MoveMyRecipes.com, then import into Flour Power.

Why Flour Power Is the Right New Home for Your MealMaster Collection
Your 20-Year Archive, Alive Again
The typical MealMaster migration story: a collection built over decades, sitting in a folder of .mmf files, readable only on machines that haven't been sold in 20 years. MoveMyRecipes.com converts .mmf archives of any size — including collections of 2,000+ recipes — to the JSON format Flour Power imports natively. Everything transfers: titles, ingredients, instructions, yield, and categories.
AI Enrichment Closes the Gap
MealMaster recipes often lack structured ingredient data, nutrition information, and step-by-step formatting. After importing your collection into Flour Power, the AI enrichment pipeline fills in the gaps: parsing unstructured ingredient text, estimating nutrition per serving, extracting timing information into tap-to-start timers, and scoring recipe difficulty. A recipe from 1994 gets treated like one added today.
Share It with Your Whole Family
If your MealMaster collection contains family recipes that span generations, Flour Power's family sharing lets every household member access the full collection with their own account. Grandma's chicken soup recipe isn't just preserved — it's searchable, scalable, and cookable step-by-step on anyone's phone.
Never Locked In Again
MealMaster's .mmf format taught a generation of home cooks what vendor lock-in looks like: a proprietary file format that outlived the software that created it. Flour Power exports in Schema.org JSON-LD — the open standard that recipe websites use — so your collection will remain readable regardless of what happens to any one app.
How to Switch with MoveMyRecipes
Free tool, no account needed, your data stays private.
Export from MealMaster
Your MealMaster recipes are stored as .mmf files (or a single archive containing many recipes). Locate these files on your hard drive or backup. If you have a single large .mmf file containing your entire collection, that's all you need for the next step.
Convert with MoveMyRecipes
Head to MoveMyRecipes.com, upload your export file, and choose JSON as the output format. The conversion happens instantly, and your files are automatically deleted after 7 days.
Import into Flour Power
In Flour Power, go to your recipe collection and use the import tool. Upload the JSON file from MoveMyRecipes. Your recipes, ingredients, and instructions will be imported with full structure intact. Flour Power's AI will then automatically enrich them with nutrition data, cooking timers, and more.
