How Do You Keep Track of Your Favorite Recipes?


Here is my dilemma: Many of my favorite cooking recipes are spread across different formats: cookbooks, youtube videos, websites (that break their URLs often), and more. How do you keep track of/organize/compile all of your favorite recipes for posterity?

The Pestle app is pretty great. It's not cheap, and is Apple only, but it scans text, scrapes most recipe websites, does unit/portion conversions, can produce aggregate shopping list for multiple recipes.

yes... at https://mywebsite.net/recipes/ ... where I get a directory listing of txt files each containing one recipe (usually copied and pasted from the print-view version of the recipe found at your favorite recipe website

If they are my 'favorite' I cook them all the time and can get the proportions close enough out of memory.

Print it out, shove it in the stack of recipes/cookbooks in the cupboard.
