    I’ve tried like 3 different recipe apps like the one listed, and none of them did the one feature they all claimed they were built around - importing recipes from the biggest recipe sites. It never worked properly. Even trying the various work arounds going through intermediate sites that could supposedly parse them better.

      My partner and I quite like Mealie. It doesn’t import 100% perfectly like you say, but it does probably 90% of the work.

        I think that was one of the ones I tried, but the 3 different recipe sites (big ones) that I tried basically brought back maybe 1/4 of the recipe at best.

        It just wasn’t reliable enough to hand off to my wife to replace her pen and paper meal planning

          In my experience with Mealie, most sites work, but I think some don’t allow scraping or something because every once in awhile we can’t import a recipe.

          Alternatively they have a built in AI that can scan an image, so if you feed it a screenshot of a recipe it’ll likely get it in there (may need to double check stuff though)
