If the source recipe has a photo it will use it for the list view, but I don't think it will import multiple inline photos. It will manage multiple timers for you if the directions are clear enough (like, in the recipe I'm looking at now '5 minutes' is a timer link, as is a later '18 to 20 minutes'). It has a shopping list feature you can easily ignore (I do). It has fields for nutrition information that it will populate if the source recipe has them, but I don't think it will calculate that on its own. After a pie crust disaster I am now very careful to edit my recipes to match the way I actually measure the ingredients. '1 cup (130 g) flour,' only the first measure will be scaled. So if you have an ingredient with both volume and weight measurements in one line, e.g. One thing that tripped me up is that it will only scale the first measure of any ingredient on a line. You can create your own arbitrary categories, you can nest categories (so I have 'dessert' and I have 'cookies' nested under that), and a recipe can be sorted in multiple categories. It is reasonably good at parsing recipes on the web, figuring out what's an ingredient and what's a direction, although I've found for some recipes with complicated HTML it may not parse ALL of the directions (like, for this roast chicken it got through about step 7, and then just didn't have the rest). When I abandoned Evernote I was able to move all my recipes over without having to do any editing at all. I've entered a number of recipes by hand on my iPad, but every time I do it I ask myself why I haven't just paid for the desktop version so I can use a physical keyboard. Note that Paprika on the desktop is a separate purchase from Paprika on a tablet, but you can have one account that syncs between them. posted by 2 cats in the yard to Computers & Internet (12 answers total) 5 users marked this as a favorite Some reviews complain about lack of OCR/having to type in recipes from cookbooks, but that could just mean someone hasn’t figured out the right way to do this.

txt files but that is only in context of output from one other cooking app, and while it has instruction for importing “other files” it doesn’t say what file types. Frequent favorite Paprika seems to do most of this but I am not sure about the importing part.

Ability to access the recipes on other devices, though if that is needed for the import-from-cookbook-function I do have a 4-ish year old MacBook Pro and a 2-ish year old iPhone, both on current OS/iOS. Ability to share recipes, other than exporting as I mentioned above. Integration with shopping lists, pantry lists, menu planning, etc

Ability to export in PDF or some text format would be nice. Some folder or tag capacity would be nice. Ability to enter recipes entirely manually (by typing) Ability to scale both weights and volumes OR ability to use the Apple Pencil to write on the file manually (so I can do the math in my head and just write the numbers on the screen) Ability to work with units in weights and/or volumes OCR (and content being organized correctly) from a PDF would be awesome but I’m guessing that’s a pipe dream. I can get them from cookbook -> PDF or text, but if you have some other/better way I am open to that too. What I am really getting at here is the ability to enter recipes from cookbooks. Ability to import recipes from a text file (bonus if it can put the right content in the right place) or PDF. Ability to download/import recipes from web pages and keep just the relevant parts (no stories, photos, links to other recipes, etc) I am in search of an ipad recipe app that has the following:
