As far as I can tell, grocery lists & emailing/exporting recipes does not drill down to include sub-recipes. There is no nutrition information or calculation.Ĥ. I have to open a recipe, click the "sidebar" icon, to get my list of recipes so I can view recipe list and selected recipe content at the same time (and move easily from recipe to recipe).ģ. You can't make batch changes to recipes other than selecting and dragging into a category folder.Ģ. Limitations I have observed in Paprika: (I am still new to it, so I may not have discovered how to do these things.)ġ. It becomes a clickable link that brings up the sub-recipe. It was as simple as adding " around the ingredient/recipe name. I had to manually go into the recipe in Paprika and re-assign. If you referenced sub-recipes in MGD, that info did not transfer. (Again, I don't know if that is an export or import issue.)Ĩ. 1&2 map to "Easy" 3&4 map to "Medium" and 5 maps to Hard.ħ. MGD has 5 levels of difficulty in addition to not assigned. I don't know if that is an export or an import issue. All recipes in MGD with no assigned difficulty level are labeled "Easy" in Paprika. (Some people like numbered steps, others don't).Ħ. Paprika does not number steps in directions. (In retrospect Notes might have been a better place.ĥ. I manually moved the Yield info into directions. (Servings does.) Some recipes are more suited to a yield than servings. I had used that field for lots of things in addition to URLs. The "Info" field in MGD maps to "Source URL" in Paprika. Paprika does highlight times it detects in instructions, so that helps.ģ. It ignores all the other times I had used. Importing assigns Active, Bake, Beat, Chill to Cook time Start to Finish, Total Time, and Ready In to Total Time Prep to Prep Time. (I would like to see at minimum a "Inactive" Time to cover marinating, cooling, resting, etc.). For Times, Paprika only has Cook, Prep, and Total times. ![]() (Note, you cannot make batch changes for individual categories in MGD so be careful.)Ģ. I created new categories for those fields in MGD and assigned them manually. The special fields of Course, Cuisine, Prepared, Keywords, Equipment did not. However, I ran into a number of issues of lost information.ġ. I, too, finally grew tired of several years of "we expect to release an update for MGD this year." I bought Paprika during their annual Black Friday sale. Here is what I added to the thread about my experience with importing into Paprika from MGD. Neither do any Clippings that have not been fully imported. Looking over this, I realize I forgot to include that Cooking Notes, Wine, Beer, and Cheese content do not export. The software isn't under maintenance at this time.” It also appears that from Big Sur on MGD has become even more fragile than it already is. ![]() I came across a thread in MacRumors about MGD and someone reported that Mariner’s reply to his inquiry about MGD’s future was "Hi, you might want to look for an alternative. TLDR imports recipes from online easily with many useful features, helps with a great grocery list organization, and a meal planner calendar.On Sat, at 1:33 PM cckborg wrote: The transition from MGD to Paprika has not gone as simply as I would have liked. I haven't used this feature enough to say how much it stands out from others but it certainly is useful for letting you see when you plan to eat certain food. I've played around with this before and I like it but I personally am too lazy to update it every week. Lastly, it has a whole calendar menu where you can link the groceries and the recipes you want to make with a certain date. You can cross things off, put amounts, and even make several grocery lists (say, for when buying from different stores). As a vegan, I will note it doesn't recognize certain new trendy products but usually will know what is dairy, produce, etc. This recipe also has a very good grocery shopping list which you can share with others in the household (they log into your account but also must buy the app) and then the groceries are sorted by section to make the trip more organized by section. You can choose to take pictures of the food to show what it looks like or steal the beautiful photos from the websites you import from. It also has timers and unit conversions with the app which is EXTREMELY helpful if you cook a lot. The customization for the actual recipe is very specific and you can put all the recipes into folders. You can cross off ingredients you've already gathered or added or highlight which step you're on. You then can edit the recipe, there is a page for the ingredients and then the steps. It has an in app browser so you can copy the link, use a Chrome extension to pin sites, or search within the app itself. This app can store recipes manually or from online. When I bought it, I think it was less than $10. It is not free but it is not subscription based.
