I use nextcloud cookbook but I would really love another or a federated alternative. It does its job but I don’t think other people I know would use it.

    I ended up creating my own because I couldn’t find something that did what I want a few years ago when I started looking. My main requirement was easy scaling of ingredients. It has a handful of features around that such as scaling by specifying servings, scaling by setting the amount of a particular ingredient (example making pancakes with leftover buttermilk, pour the buttermilk into the bowl then scale the recipe based on how much was left) and ingredient conversion. In most other ways it is pretty basic and free-form but it does the job. It stores data in a user-provided provider so other people never send me their recipes.

      Yep, this is how we’ve kept ours for over 20 years. Even if you don’t use the command line, most graphical file browsers will search through text files without issue.

    I’ve been using RecipeSage for a while now. It replaced Paprika for me. Runs easily in Docker, and it can create a recipe from a URL.

      Another vote for RecipeSage here, I like that it can scrape recipes from a URL, and I really like how it can scale ingredients by how many servings you want to make.

    Paprika. I haven’t used anything else aside from having a folder of word documents.

    Paprika allows you to copy/paste the URL of a recipe and it will download only the recipe. No more scrolling through a blog and a dozen ads looking for what you want. You can then create categories and tag recipes for any combination of categories.

    It also has extra functions like meal planners, pantry inventory, and shopping list generators based on the meal plan and pantry, but I don’t use those.

    It syncs between devices. The only real downside is you must purchase per platform type. If you bought the windows licence and you want it on your phone you must separately purchase the Android licence.

    I haven’t played with it but I installed tandoor.dev ready for when I get time to look at it.

    I print out the recipes i want and put them in a binder. It’s 100x easier than trying to fuck around with my phone while i am trying to bake.

      That’s why I use an iPad or my laptop.

      But I also print recipes and bind them

    I simply use Joplin subnotebooks. I have one for home cooking and one for brewing beer. Markdown works well enough for me in terms of portability and readability. It also syncs between my devices, so I have several copies of my recipes.

    For home brewing, I have written a few scripts that convert BeerXML to Markdown for easy importing. I create the recipes in my home brewing software (currently Kleiner Brauhelfer), export the BeerXML file and convert it to Markdown for secondary storing.

    I guess this doesn’t qualify as self-hosted but I’m gonna comment anyway. I really like Pestle for iOS. I love the way it cuts the shit out of those 5,000,000 paragraph long introductions before the actual recipe and just grand the important parts. It’s very handy.
