Not sure whether helpful or not, but I simply use Joplin with a cookbook as one of the notebooks. In the rare case that I share a recipe with my wife, I simply export a recipe as PDF.

Been using RecipeSage recently, highly recommend.

You don't have to self host if you want to try it out. You can also just create an account for free on their site with no strings attached.

Mealie has been great for me, but there's still a few things missing. I've seen some people vibe code some cool little things that would make great additions to something like that (create a meal plan for x amount of people and it'll create a grocery list; select what you have and it'll find the recipes you can make; import PDF's (things like EveryPlate, etc.)).

But, outside of those few minor things I'd like to see, it's been pretty good. But, the way they present the recipes, I can get that. There's some work to be done, but overall I really like it.

Heavy duty ring binder and an a3 laminator that can fit the A4 sheets with reinforced pre cut holes for ringbinding, and a short trip to go support your local library by using their printer.

It'll require no batteries, no network connection, no troubleshooting and it's waterproof.

Anything that can host markdown files.

Mealie has been great for my partner and myself.

I have been very happy with RecipeSage.

I've been happy with Mealie for the last year or so. The parsing does often require manual adjustments for ingredients not yet in my db, and while that's a bit annoying hasn't been a blocker for me.

Curious to hear other recommendations here too!

I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone else, but I like the Cook "programming language". They're a little AI-happy, but that does mean that they run a service that converts online recipes; no OCR that I've found. It works nicely for me, because I can dump the recipes in a git repository to move them around, and since it exports Markdown, I can drop recipes into my blog when the situation calls for it.

Username checks out.

I have used Tandoor for years and its been really nice, its evolved a lot.

I've been using tandoor after using mealie for awhile. I find it works very well.

I use the cookbook plugin for Nextcloud but I'm here for suggestions too.

My girlfriend writes them in a word processor, prints them and keeps them organized alphabetically in a binder.

I just use Wallabag and have it automatically add a "Recipe" tag when the URL is a Recipe site.

I've been using Grocy, since my main use case is grocery list sharing with my wife. It has recipes as well, and since the DB knows your kitchen, it can display if you're good to go or need to go shopping for your meal.

I haven't used it but there's CookTrace

I haven't personally tried them yet, but I came upon these 2 self-hosted recipe managers. Both look pretty interesting. One has apps associated with them, the other just web based.

FlavorMate

and

Recipya

Just vibe code it to your specs. That’s what i did…

Unpopular on Lemmy maybe but you can just do that now. I had an idea that i could just paste any url into it and it would parse it for my format. I made it self hostable. And my family use it

We also did use bring for a long time and the only one coming near to it's UX was KitchenOwl for me.
