[Discussion] How do you store/organize your recipes?
Hello everyone, I'm curious about how everyone here store their recipes and organize them (and looking for ideas for me too).
At the very beginning, I started with paper recipes in a simple file organizer. Either printed or wrote by hand. But it quickly became too big, dirty, wet, and full of food stains.
I switched to following recipes on my phone when I cooked. First with a folder structure of bookmarks from my favorite websites. But it had several issues: a lot of recipes websites have crazy amount of bullsh*t writing around the recipe, and I cannot edit and adapt the recipe with my touch.
I tried a lot of android app during the years and finally converged to "whisk", now called samsung food. I liked it because it could do meal plan and grocery list automatically on top of holding the recipes. But since it was bought, it's getting worse and worse.
As my familly and friends know that I like to cook I received quite a lot of recipe books over the years, but I barely use them. Usually I read them once and copy the few interesting recipes i like in the app I am currently using.
I recently found that Nextcloud has a "cookbook" plugin. As I'm already self hosting a next cloud instance it's perfect. It looks straight to the point, with all the basic features needed and no crap around. However it's not doing meal plan and grocery list (yet ?).
As there is no automatic transfer possible between whisk and nextcloud, before I'll spend hours to transfer my recipes I wanted to hear what other people are using !
I'm hosting my own instance and I love it. Import from several recipe-sharing sites works very well. Import from Instagram would be great, but Meta tries to make this as hard as possible.
Tandoor is good. A friend set up an instance with Authelia attached so my group of friends each gets a login. We add our fav recipes and can share them with each other.
It's a little finicky with the ingredients entry, but it does make scaling recipes a lot better since it'll do the calculations for you. You don't need to know markdown to make the recipe pretty, it just works
