Recipes For Mac

Recipes is a simple yet efficient macOS application designed to help you organize your recipes, regardless of their origin. The app allows you to manually input entries to the database,  but you can automatically download recipes from popular websites.

Within the Recipes main window you have the option to organize the database entries into various categories, to quickly create groceries lists, or to browse online recipes sources. The app comes with a modern design, so finding your way around is quite intuitive.

For each entry you get to input the recipe name, difficulty level, rating, preparation and cooking time, the number of servings, the source, the ingredients, and detailed directions. Moreover, you can create a favorites list to find specific entries faster.

Recipes also integrates a basic search tool that scans the entire database: for example, you can find all the entries that use a specific ingredient.

For your convenience, the Recipes app also integrates a built-in web browser that can be used to navigate to any webpage. To help you get started, the app provides a list with popular recipes websites that you might find interesting: navigate to the recipe’s webpage, and press the “Save Recipe” button to add it to your collection.

If the process is unsuccessful, the in-built data entry tools will still streamline the addition process: select the data you want to save, and then click on the appropriate tag. This way, you can easily add new recipes from online sources, even if the websites are not officially supported by the app.

To conclude, if you are looking for a stylish recipes organizer that also integrates user friendly data entry capabilities, the Recipes app deserves your attention.
