I’m currently wondering what to do if my favourite recipes go offline or if my mom’s special traditional dish where i have the recipe in written form gets lost. Do you have a (preferably FOSS) app to store such recipes? I’m currently trying Cooky which is FOSS but is difficult to use for cooking: you can’t really group cooking steps well and when cooking a recipe you can only view one step at a time unless you’re editing the recipe. I like however that you can tag the dishes so it’s easier to find specific stuff like vegan or spicy dishes.

    Any particular OS? For Android I use Broccoli, and I think it does a good job out of the box. You can share the URL of a webpage with a recipe to that app, and it will try to extract the ingredients, steps, serving etc. from the website :)

    I’d use a spreadsheet app so you can adjust how many servings you want to make. Adjusting your cell size is fairly trivial and you can fit paragraphs into them if you really needed to. If you really wanted to be fancy you could use a database app, but that’s probably overkill.

    Not open source but figured I’d shout out paprika anyway since that’s what my partner and I use. It’s really handy for us since it syncs between our phones and we can add stuff to the grocery list from either device and it also has meal planning stuff. It’s also super easy to import recipes from websites using a built in tool they have

      Paprika is great, but it kills me that there is no landscape mode. I go to prop my phone up on the popsocket, which naturally puts the phone in landscape, but Paprika stubbornly stays in portrait 😑

        Dang I never noticed that! My partner has an iPad we use in the kitchen when cooking and that has a really nice landscape mode thankfully… It should exist on phones too though that’s unfortunate

    I use tandoor. It’s Foss and self hostable.

    For me, the killer feature is the ability to create meal plans that auto generate a shopping list

    I settled on recipe keeper. It supports many platforms. It’s a one time purchase (per platform) and it has the ability to import from websites.
