Not sure if I need to elaborate. I’m sick of having to scroll through an entire fucking novella just to find the recipe when I do a search for something.

I use paprika 3 to extract and save recipes - works well enough that I eventually sprang for the paid version

+1 for paprika. Works like a charm. Other great features too. I have all my recipes with all of my personal tweaks/notes from the past 10 years in there. Also, all of my ‘special occasion’ meal planning goes through there.

I’m probably old-school, but you may also find you get some good use out of cookbooks if you find good/reliable ones. They’re also kind of fun to browse/explore once you have faith in the source.

A few I’d recommend: The Food Lab America’s Test Kitchen Good Eats

If there’s a cuisine you favor you, you might try finding a commonly recommended book or author in that area.

I haven’t seen that one. I’ll check it out!

I have used Recipe keeper for years myself.

The main features I like are the ways to import recipes (web, photos and text) I can take a picture of a handwritten recipe and it will magically recreate it. It also has an app for windows, so laptops/tablets and my android phone all sync up. You can make your own cookbooks too.

How good is Recipe keeper with handwriting that is hard to read? And can it do more languages than English?
