Hi everyone,

I am currently using a wild mix of browser bookmarks, actual printouts, saved PDFs and screenshots to save recipes I liked and might want to cook again. Obviously this has become unsustainable over the years so now I thought I could put that into a service specialized for that and maybe also stop using Bring! as my shopping list while I'm at it, just to reduce my dependence on cloud services.

I am basically looking for something I can use to catalogue my recipes that allows me to import my various sources and turn them into a searchable uniform format, preferably with some sort of OCR.

I looked at Mealie and Kitchenowl but don't quite like how they present the recipes and their recipe parsing works only so so...

Have you guys any recommendation?

i did this for a good while. Obsidian did great.

i only migrated to mealie because I wanted a better way to share recipes in my household and quickly share them with a shared tablet in the kitchen. Needed to get it out of my personal docs.

I also kinda liked the ability import from url which saves a good 10min transcribing and cleaning up in markdown. Not that i still dont have to cleanup recipes, just it starts in a better place so its quicker.
