Not sure if I need to elaborate. I’m sick of having to scroll through an entire fucking novella just to find the recipe when I do a search for something.

    I use paprika 3 to extract and save recipes - works well enough that I eventually sprang for the paid version

      I haven’t seen that one. I’ll check it out!

      I have used Recipe keeper for years myself.

      The main features I like are the ways to import recipes (web, photos and text) I can take a picture of a handwritten recipe and it will magically recreate it. It also has an app for windows, so laptops/tablets and my android phone all sync up. You can make your own cookbooks too.

          It does pretty well with my messy scrawl on scrap paper 😁

          I used to have so many jotted down on the backs of envelopes or whatever I could find, and then on my fridge with magnets. It was a mess.

          Of course I had to make some edits or changes, but for the most part it was amazing.

          These are the languages so far ( also says in settings that if you would like them to support additional languages to email support )

      +1 for paprika. Works like a charm. Other great features too. I have all my recipes with all of my personal tweaks/notes from the past 10 years in there. Also, all of my ‘special occasion’ meal planning goes through there.

      I’m probably old-school, but you may also find you get some good use out of cookbooks if you find good/reliable ones. They’re also kind of fun to browse/explore once you have faith in the source.

      A few I’d recommend: The Food Lab America’s Test Kitchen Good Eats

      If there’s a cuisine you favor you, you might try finding a commonly recommended book or author in that area.

      Same. Not only is it nice to have all my recipes in one place without the life story, but being able to scroll through the pics of each recipe helps me decide what I want to eat.
