I want to make a plug for Grocy[0] which has recipes and meal planning, but its core feature is inventory. It's a lot of work to get going, but if you keep a lot of non-perishable and frozen food it can help a lot with tracking what needs to be eaten and what you have. [0] https://grocy.info/

#42If one of these recipe apps integrates the diagrams from Cooking For Engineers, it'll be perfect. Example: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/268/Buffalo-Chicke...
That's quite an interesting system. Is it a specific markup language being used to generate or store them?
It would be cool to generate them from some sort of dependency list.

#43The epiphany was that 99% of the recipes I was storing were crap and I was wasting my time with a dedicated system. The wiki has about a dozen recipes now, with a new one getting added once a month, tops. It's really not so much work that I need a dedicated app just for recipes. Plus, wikis have really good change tracking, so I'm able to make little modifications without worrying about losing access to the original.

#44Personally, I've found switching to using something like Notion or Evernote as more of a cooking 'notebook' than a recipe collection -- where you are not forced into traditional recipe structure for each page -- has worked really well for keeping track of stuff like this.

#46People who are interested in this may also be interested in Cooklang, a simple plain-text markdown format for recipes: https://cooklang.org/ -- doesn't get much easier than that.

#47I love it, I'm hosting a version for me at https://food.modispub.com/ The recipe importer is great, I was using paprika but there's always the issue of sharing the recipe with your friends. Here, I can share the recipe where they don't even have to login. The UI is responsive on the phone and the collapsing steps feature is just great. I'm not using the shopping list and meal planner on a daily basis.
Nice recipes and photos! Is your config publicly available, as in, how you went from their docker-compose to a snazzy subdomain behind https? Or did you use SWAG for the reverse proxy?

Upvoting just for having proper Toum at the top of the recents :) Kudos for knowing what Keshik is too! Also thanks for sharing - there are a bunch of cool recipes there.

#49Another very similar alternative is https://docs.tandoor.dev I have been using it for the last months with family and friends and it works great as well.
Tandoor also looks interesting. Could you take a quick look at mealie and make a comparison between the two?
