Recipes
Application for managing recipes, planning meals, building shopping lists and much much more!
Mealie uses https://github.com/hhursev/recipe-scrapers for parsing recipes from websites. There is a list of supported websites there (as well as websites that have an actual recipe schema), but it can't read just any random free form text (like the result of OCR on a scanned book) into a structured recipe. Maybe some fuzzy LLM/GPT thing would work there, but unless you're planning on serious production of archiving dozens of books I'd think it's not worth it. Just find a recipe online you like, import it, and edit it like /u/Upballoon suggested.
- Imported the photos into paperless-ngx and used their ocr to extract the text (any other ocr software would also work)
Tandoor Was developed initially for that, to import your pdf collection of recipes. It has now evolved to be much more than that and personally prefer it to Mealie, could be worth trying!
