How? Simply click here to return to 52 Week Home Organization Challenge Hall Of Fame. Join in and write your own page! It's easy to do. So, without further ado, scroll down to see the tips and hints that have already been shared. Plus, if you've used a program for organizing recipes on the computer I'd love to hear what you thought about it, good or bad, to help everyone else know what some good programs are out there for this task.
If these ideas inspire you I'd encourage you to read the Organize Recipes Challenge, take the steps for yourself, and share your results with me here.
This hall of fame post shares some tips from readers on how they use various software programs, both free and paid, to organize their recipes. I hesitate to detract from the love-fest that Paprika is getting on here because it truly is a great app but yeah if I could only buy one it'd be Mela, followed by Crouton, then Paprika.It is easier to do this now than ever, since you can easily take your laptop or IPad into your kitchen with you (like the picture above) to use while you cook, so you can follow the recipe without ever having to print it out. Admittedly recipe blogs are tough because there is so much content so no app is 100% perfect all the time but even with that the difference can be night and day. You'll end up with a lot the personal story bits in the instructions whereas Mela/Crouton do an excellent job of keeping the instruction free of clutter while still adding some important tips in notes. On major websites they're all on even footing but once you start importing recipes from recipe/lifestyle blogs then Paprika starts showing its age. Web recipe importing - all three have easy recipe sharing extensions to import recipes but Mela/Crouton do a much much better job of it. Syncing recipes - Mela/Crouton use iCloud sync as opposed to a proprietary account/sync system. Not having to make it work across multiple platforms and generally being newer and seeing more ongoing development is a big advantage but I'll highlight two unique benefits that I've seen.
However, if you're iOS/macOS only then I'd highly suggest you look at more recent alternatives and I'd specifically recommend Mela and Crouton. Paprika is great, I have had it for years (started with the prior version) and it was probably the first app I used to earnestly record recipes. Importing from websites is super easy on mobile devices so at least there is that but both versions can be a nice to have. It's similar situation to browsing on a phone vs a computer, consumption is awesome on a mobile device but once you start getting to repetitive data entry then a mouse/keyboard makes a big difference. The ideal use case for having both versions is that the desktop is easier to use if you anticipate that you'll do ongoing recipe maintenance (creating your own recipes, making edits, organizing, adding notes, etc.).
