Recipes, Meal Planning, and Shopping List (lemm.ee)

Does anyone self-host any recipe/meal planner/shopping list software? I've been looking at Tandoor or Mealie but I am not too sure which one will best serve my needs. I would really like to be able to go through my saved recipes, easily plan out a weeks worth of meals and have that exported to a shopping list of some kind.

Most of the discussion I could find online appears to be somewhat dated (2-3 years) and I know that can be a long time for some projects. Does anyone host either if these two programs and if so, which one did you choose and why? I'm open to any other projects that may be better for my use case. It would only be used on my located network and maybe accessed via tailscale occasionally. I'm fairly new to self-hosting but this is one thing that my partner was excited about. Thanks in advance!

Mealie +1

I've tried Mealie, Tandoor, Paprika and KitchenOwl. Mealie was by far the best looking, easiest to navigate and most convenient. They revamped the shopping list recently and it has replaced my old Google Keep method.

I personally like Tandoor a lot. The parsing works pretty well and every ingredient can be adjusted. And there is a pretty good mobile app with https://kitshn.app/ which is also my main shopping list, as I can create custom categories and add articles to that with tandoor.

I was happy with tandoor for a while. Didn't try any others.

However one problem remains for me; my household is bilingual. Any real recipe manager like this (for me) needs to easily convert ingredients/recipes between two languages.

Anyone know of any solution for this (aside from manually running every recipe output through a translator)?

It looks like it's an open request on Mealie. I don't see one for Tandoor. Shame, because Mealie already has aliases for ingredients, it shouldn't be too hard to extend that to respect the language setting.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Tandoor also supports aliases. I have mine set up so it automatically converts units into imperial (metric) because that's how I like it.

I am currently using Mealie with docker, which being a containers noob seemed easier to setup compared to Tandoor. I have it behind tailscale as well.

Mealie works well for what I need to do, I don't plan in advance yet, but I just import recipes and it works 9 out 10. I will need to try the shopping list features sooner or later.

There is no mobile app that I am aware of but the webpage works perfectly on mobile with a bookmark.

There's no mobile app, but the web app front end is a PWA, so you can select "install" from the page in a WebKit browser and get what is effectively a mobile app.

in a WebKit browser

Yeah, but ewww.
