This morning I downloaded and started playing with Pantry, a free app to track what's in your kitchen, create shopping lists, sync to the cloud and there's an iPhone app you can buy for 2.00 to download lists to your phone.
I'm boosting recipes from everywhere to add to my repertoire and creating a family recipe collection so we don't fight about what goes in Bubbie's Brisket. I got MacGourmet as part of a bundle (Dec 2008) and it's become one of my favorite apps. Given that this is an editable field in recipes, it would be useful to search by this! Again, since the developers do not reply to emails, I'm not sure if there is a solution. This prevents comparison of recipes.įinally, I'm not really sure, but I couldn't find a way to create smart recipe lists based on preparation/cooking times. Also, command-~ normally switches windows, but this does not work in MacGourmet. For example, the default "OK" button is often highlighted, but pressing "return" on the keyboard does not click it, as expected under OS X. While this is more fiddly, this option prevents this confusion. Some other programs I have used also allow user-defined ingredients. Also, depending on the name of ingredients listed in different recipes, the shopping list can produce separate listings for flour, plain flour, and flour (plain), etc. Alternatively, user-defined page breaks would be helpful. The shopping lists could be formatted more intelligently, with page breaks at logical spots, such as between shops. The chef view really needs a split view to allow simultaneous viewing of ingredients and instructions. Not good when you have a handful of raw chicken. Many recipe instructions refer to the ingredients for quantities, but the chef view forces you to scroll up to the top. Perhaps a user-defined unit equivalence list would be useful, or at least a list of what MacGourmet's pre-defined conversions are. For example, if one recipe calls for 200 g of flour, and another for an ounce, the shopping list totals these to 201 g. The shopping list is often incapable of adding ingredients of different units correctly. Unfortunately, the developers haven't responded to emailed feedback, which always makes me wary of future development of a paid product.
Just a note: I have about 3500 recipes in PaprikaA decent organisational tool, but there are several flaws. Additional improvements would make it an even better app. So, yes, in my onion it is the best recipe database that I have run across. I have requested that several times but, no response. It would be nice to have the option to keep certain categories open or closed and have them stay that way. You can close the categories you are not interested in to shorten the length of the list but when the program starts up again, all categories will be open again. Also, if you develop a long list of categories with subcategories an sub-sub categories, the list in the sidebar can get very long. There are a few other search refinements that would definitely improve the search function. being able do search the database for recipes that do not include an ingredient. Paprika could use a few improvements in teaching, e.g. I must say the developers used to be very responsive to suggestions and problems, not so lately.
MACGOURMET IMPORT RECIPE FROM WEB PAGE MAC
Several times I have messed up additions to recipe because the Mac was 1/2X and the iPad 1X. Sorry, but if I'm on my Mac, scale a recipe for 1/2X, I want to see it on my iPad as 1/2X as well. It used to do that but stopped allowing that and try and call it a feature. Recipes are synced between devices but the scaling of a recipe is not synced. I do have a little problem with the developers right now. It imports recipes from the web easily and creates the recipe from the site perfectly 99% of the time. So it is a real everyday workhorse in my home. I use the iPhone out by the grill or in the grocery store. I use the iPad next to the stove when cooking. I use the Mac to do detailed work and most of my importing and editing. I use it everyday and have it on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. I have been using Paprika since it was released.
