Ask HN: What do you use to store recipes?

[foolishbard]

Prompted by a recent post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23738543), I wanted to store all my recipes, but I use OSX which isn't supported by the AnyMeal linked above.

Anyone got good recommendations for how they store their recipes?

I use Paprika recipe manager 3 on windows, but I'm pretty sure they have an osx version as well. I find it's useful to make week menu's and have it make a grocery shopping list. But I'm sure others can do that too.

I made my own recipe manager web app in Chicken Scheme (awful + SQLite). It was a nice exercise in CRUD and scraping, as I built importers for some large recipe websites. An update broke it, so I'm now rewriting it in Common Lisp (caveman2), learning the language as I go.

I've been testing the nimbus web clipper recently. I like the idea of a web clipper, since I find most recipes online these days. It's only been a couple weeks, but so far, so good. https://nimbusweb.me/clipper.php

Have not tried it but I've seen people of setting up an instance of https://chowdown.io/ in a Raspberry Pi, you can access it from any device with a browser.

I ask the person that knows the recipe to write it down on paper for me, I also try to make te recipe as soon as possible to keep it fresh in my mind, everything else I just google (duck) it when I want to make it.

https://www.copymethat.com/ is the best tool hands down.

Notion. Their browser plugin saves the page content + keeps the link. It's been really useful as I can find the recipes quickly on my mobile when cooking.

I tried the Notion plugin/clipper before Nimbus, but the Notion one failed on 2 out of the first 3 sites I attempted :/

Google Keep

It's simple, searchable and synchronised across devices. Recipes are a simple, text-based format. I don't need any fancy way to store them.

I just use good ol' txt files. Sometimes paper.

I do the same thing. My wife has a notebook into which she's either hand-written, or glued things from newspapers.

I have ~/Org/food.org containing about 20 recipes, which I can export to PDF or HTML to make presentable. I never quite get round to printing out the PDF version, but I suspect I should.

Cookbooks, in the cupboard above the stove. 3-ring binders included, to hold anything we've found and printed.
