I found tandoor, mealie, etc too bloated and complex for a simple catalogue of recipes. my solutions was mkdocs.
i do have to write out each recipe in markdown but this gives me a chance to read each recipe in detail and understand it before it goes into my catalogue.
Interesting!! I'll look into this! Thanks!!
Wow ! I will still try mealie /Tandoor for family purpose and ease of use. If it doesn't work as expected, I will totally try this out !!
One question if you don't mind,
servings Indicates how many people the recipe is for. Used for scaling quantities. Leading number is used for scaling, anything else is ignored but shown as units.
Does this function work well? I didn't saw any examples so maybe you could tell me :)
Thanks !
I'm not sure as that's not a feature I used at all. I normally scale recipes in my brain, for better or worse hahah.
Whatever does the trick for you! For me its mealie, because my wife loves to find new recipes online, and I just can't stand dealing with these sites. So import by URL is my main feature, then I tweak it as I go, no more dain bramage from terrible sites.
If you've got the recipe though - yeah markdown or cooklang rocks as a solution!
I love mealie. I can steal online recipes, catalogue them, adjust them to my liking, plan all the shopping. Definitely a core self hosted service in my house.
e: I was so excited I didn't realise I just parroted everything you said.
No worries I completely get it!
I can't have gluten, so a big advantage for me is importing and modifying, and yes sometimes taking pictures with notes so I can make easier adjustments next time. Definitely the right fit for us, but I can understand OP wanting something leaner if their needs are lighter for sure.
Same for me with Markdown. Love the simplicity.
I went through a phase a while back of evaluating a bunch of note-taking and to-do apps, and hating almost all of them for being proprietary products with so much vendor lock-in.
I eventually settled on Joplin because it just uses plain old markdown, and allows you to selfhost the storage back-end so you own your data.
So because of that, my recipes are just a folder (and some subfolders) with markdown in Joplin.
I put my public stuff in a tiddilywiki because I can just take the file and save it to a public spot.
I use Obsidian and Syncthing for my personal stuff though. It has a bunch of searching, organizational, and plugin options.
Markdown ftw.
You think manually copying and pasting recipes in is easier than mealie? Okay.
เค เฅเคเคพ เคเคฟเคเคจ? Excellent taste my man
thanks!
So far I just keep recipes in whatever Iโm using for notes.
Some of these dedicated programs look interesting though. Thinking about it, it would be handy to have some dedicated cooking features, like being able to search for recipes by ingredients.
Nextcloud Cooking app
Not sure.
As cooking is like art anyway, I usually wing the amounts beyond the 2nd try.
Only on the 1st try I'll actually hardcore follow the recipe. For unusual large amounts I'll manually calculate.
I'm using the cookbook plugin for Nextcloud.
This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.
