What is an MGOURMET file? An MGOURMET file is a recipe collection exported from Mariner MacGourmet Deluxe (or a later version), a recipe management app for macOS. It contains one or more recipes, as well as notes associated with those recipes. Users can export recipes as MGOURMET files to back them up, share them, or use them in other applications.

More Information MacGourmet Deluxe allows cooks to import recipes from culinary websites or create new recipes of their own. Cooks can then organize, annotate, search through, print, or export their recipes. The program's proprietary MGOURMET format is one format in which cooks can export recipes. Unlike other MacGourmet Deluxe export formats, the MGOURMET format retains a user's notes, wine notes, and embedded images. An MGOURMET file may contain one recipe or many recipes, depending on how many recipes the cook selected before selecting File → Export .
