Hey #Recipes

We've been experimenting with Tandoor, a self-hosted recipe/mealplan/shopping manager like Grocy. I found it on #YunoHost and so far I like it, particularly since it has the #kitshn phone app that integrates it all quite usefully and apparently doesn't want any obnoxious permissions on the phone. I'm hoping there's other people using it with advice here.

It has a pretty good recipe importer, so you definitely can drop a url into it, hit import, and you'll have a usable thing, but it's also a bit annoying there.

Main problem is that it's got a great feature in that you assign your ingredients to specific steps of the recipe, and it still gives you a full list at the top, so if you assign the ingredients to their proper steps, you get a big list for assembling them, and then convenient listings right next to the instructions.

Where they seem to have fallen down is, when you're editing a recipe, there is seemingly no mechanism for moving ingredients out of the first step and into subsequent ones. It seems you have to delete them and recreate them. There is an easy way to paste in a list of plaintext ingredients, but the UI and CSS are such that there is no easy way to select the ingredient from the page.

Presentation is top notch, editing is enough of a mess that I'm gonna give Grocy a try. Last time I loaded it, it just looked like an overly complex mess of options. Tandoor is a much more pleasant experience to use. Less features I'm sure.

Anyways if you're exploring #SelfHosted recipe apps, let's compare notes, yah?
