I’ve used the Paprika Recipe Manager app since I moved away from home and started studying, so it contains a more or less complete history of my recipes from the time I was 20 years old. The very first one I added was a chili con carne. Since then, I’ve added another 150 recipes to my Paprika library.
The killer feature in Paprika is the built-in browser, which can pull in recipe ingredients, instructions and other meta data from a page automatically if that site has tagged the markup with the Schema.org recipe schema, which many have. For those that haven’t, you can easily select page elements in the Paprika browser and manually map them to fields in the recipe you’re creating, which is still a lot faster than copying and pasting. Like you would expect, the app has built-in features for timers, unit conversion and changing the number of servings in the recipe.
Paprika is available pretty much everywhere as a one-time purchase, although the Mac app feels a bit neglected with visual bugs that have gone unfixed for years. I almost exclusively use it on my phone, and there, it works flawlessly.
