Recipe apps?

Glaucus - did you ever settle on one app?

Just wondering if one can save a load of online recipes and then you can create menus based on your saved recipes?

A bit like a playlist can save songs in your music library.

Nope, all the ones I tried had one issue or another. Gave up in the end.

I print stuff out/write things down/print pages to PDF sometimes. I need to work out how to file them in a big lever arch folder which makes everything easy to find.

Is what I do. I use those clear wallets to hold them - handy for wiping sauces etc off them too

favourite recipes are all at the front as I put each one back at the front after I have used it

Still using Paprika here and I see they have a Windows version now.
They have improved aspects of it as well e.g. adding a meal lets you only add the ingredients you need and you can track store cupboard ingredients as well.
I sit down with the better half and plan evening meals for the week, it makes food shopping really easy; it had both a calendar and menu functionality for this (some meals that I don't have in the app I just add via the note function.

I've just taken (as others on here) to making up my own PDF cookbook.

I simply scan my recipies or convert them into PDF and organise them into catagories and popularity.

There is definitely a market for this type of app out there.

Does anyone know of a good Android app to search for a recipe based on ingredients?

I have a habit of buying stuff and then wondering what I do with it. Lol

4 long years later, but finally found an app I like. Don't know how long it's been out, only added a few recipes and only had it a week but so far so good.

If you haven't tried it you must try the garlic onion tortilla stack.

Looks good. Having wondered about a recipe app for a while too I finally tried out Yummly. Seems pretty good although I haven't actually cooked any recipes yet

Good ideas in there though which is what I wanted.
