I’ve used this program almost every day for two months now and will continue to do so. I think it has paid for itself in the fewer store trips and more inspired meals. For the initial setup, I think the desktop application was a good investment as it was easy to copy and paste bookmarked URLs on my laptop into the application. The idea of creating a new recipe database/system felt scary and time-consuming, but it was simple and easy to do while watching TV. One could even just add the recipes needed for the first week, and gradually build from there.

I haven’t figured out how to easily remind myself to defrost or marinate something the night before. The phone app could use some navigation changes that are less dependent on the “back” button. I’ve created and used some categories – like “Party” or “Slow Cooker”, but don’t categorize every recipe. (Update 10/2016: I now have 192 recipes saved.

I can categorize and rate recipes as well, but I haven’t bothered yet. After 2 months, I have over 65 recipes which the search feature is quick to navigate through. I started with 20 recipes, and now just add as I come across stuff online or while I’m planning meals.

Rarely, I have to use the manual clipboard tools to pull the components of a recipe off a site, but even that process is simple (easier on the computer). With one click, the application grabs the recipe and gives opportunity to edit it before saving.

You can use their built-in internet browser to add recipes or add a plug-in to your existing browser to “clip” recipes. I’m going to the grocery store less often, cooking more dinners each week, and meal planning is now no big deal. Windows Screenshot – Recipe Manager Paprika Recipe Manager Review
