Kcal[0] is my own project in this space. It’s still very rough (I don’t necessarily recommend using it, hah) but my spouse and I have been using it for a year or so now and it’s invaluable for our specific use case of a mostly plant-based diet but high protein needs because we are both very active. It’s a weird little niche (:

#32I recommend RecipeSage (https://recipesage.com/).

#33People 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.
Thanks for sharing, I never heard of Cooklang. It feels like a DSL (Domain Specific Language). I'll study their implementation to get started on a niche ETL markup language.
Thanks again!

#34I 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.

#35This is really awesome :D Looked for something like this a while ago and wasn't massively keen on what was already out there...
One feature I immediately tried to find, though (and then searched for a github issue for it and couldn't initially see) was to be able to filter meals by ingredients.
Not necessarily the 'fuzzy' search, but (similar to the include/exclude categories) have a drop-down list of ingredients for ingredient auto-completion and then select to add to a list of items.
And then the same for adding some ingredients that are excluded (e.g. want to do something with flour, but have no eggs)

#36Is there a way to hook this up to a service to do shopping for me so I can do some kind of self-hosted hello fresh?

#38I use google sheets :D because of the flexibility it offers.
It's accessible everywhere already, works good on mobile, so you don't have to haul laptops/tablets when cooking/shopping.
If i need extra notes on some ingredient, i just use some adjacent cell.
But above all - formulas. A lot of recipes lend themselves to calculations. Things like crepes (something superior to pancake) can be narrowed down to exact number of crepes you want. Same goes for ny cheesecake - dial the pan size and ingredients and baking time, temp are modified. Breads are basically fully formulaic so that is also covered.

#39I tried the demo but I didn’t find the meal planner. I mean let say I want to plan the meal for a month by choosing available recipe for each family member. Is it on the plan?
you need to login with the default un/pw at the top of the page
You’re right. I see the planner after login and clicking the account icon.
Thanks

#40I 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.
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.
