Hello all,
I gave a weird question. I follow many chefs on Facebook and save loads of recipes but they are difficult to find later and even more difficult to organize and use later. How do you deal with this?
Copy/paste them into your favorite notes program (I love UpNote - and it has both desktop and mobile versions) so you can organize and have quick access to them whenever you want. Easy peasy.
My wife uses this app: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.flauschcode.broccoli
I’ve also heard that there’s a recipe database add-on for Nextcloud that’s pretty good.
(I have no idea if either of them interact with Facebook, as it is evil and should be shunned at all costs.)
I’ve been using the recipe add on for nextcloud, it works fine for me. I also have no idea if it works with facebook. It can load a recipe from a URL, but I don’t think facebook lets you look at things without logging in so it probably wouldn’t work.
I use Gourmand on desktop and Tournat on Android. Most feature rich recipe apps
i use tandoor, self hosted app on my nas. and the open source kitchn to interface with it via android/ios. just open a recipe on my browser and share it to kitchn and itll load it up on my nas.
Wife and I use Paprika. It’s a recipe manager on virtually every platform (Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS/iPadOS). I have it on my iPhone and both Macs. My wife has it on her iPad and Android phone. It’s not free, and it’s really not cheap, but there was a sale and I looked at the cost to get it on our hardware and I thought it made for a good value.
It also has a shopping list that also syncs, but we use OurGroceries for that. Paprika’s might be a little better, but we prefer OG. I’ve put all our recipes in it, and it can import recipes from various websites. Never tried Facebook though (as I do not use it).
I use Recipe Keeper for Android. It converts pics, text and URLs to recipes, has a shopping list function, and is a 1-time purchase after the 1st 20 recipes you store. It’s also very simple - does everything I need and nothing I don’t.
We use AnyList, with the annual family subscription (really worth the $14 a year).
It includes recipes (including an import plugin for browsers), shopping list, and meal planning.
RecipeSage has worked well for me for a long time. You can use the publicly accessible site or you can self-host your own. Easy to run in docker. Recipe importer. Everything that I need.
I self-host Mealie. Works really well for my needs.
