Paprika
Paprika is a long-standing favorite and a great fit if you prefer to pay once rather than subscribe, and if meal planning and pantry lists matter to you. It is sold separately for each platform, so using it on a phone and a computer means buying it twice. feedme.recipes works in any browser with one account on every device, reads handwritten cards from a photo, and comes with a library of more than 11,000 recipes and Cook School lessons.
Recipe Keeper
Recipe Keeper can scan printed recipes and has meal planning and shopping lists. Its free version limits how many recipes you can keep. feedme.recipes has no recipe limit on any plan, keeps your original card photo next to the clean recipe so the handwriting is saved too, and adds Discover and Cook School.
Copy Me That
Copy Me That is a low-cost way to clip recipes from websites, with a browser button and shopping lists, and its free version keeps a limited number of recipes. If your recipes live on paper as well as online, feedme.recipes can read a photo of a handwritten card or a cookbook page, not just a web page.
Who feedme.recipes is for
- Families with handwritten cards and old cookbooks they want to keep and cook from.
- Anyone tired of ads and pop-ups on recipe sites.
- Cooks who want new ideas from a ready-made library, not just a place to store recipes.
- People who use more than one device and don’t want to buy an app more than once.
