Fork recipes is a self-hosted web application for managing food recipes, planning meals and organising shopping lists. It provides a graphical frontend that works with ForkApi to maintain recipe collections and related cooking information.
The software supports recipes containing images or videos, allowing users to preserve cooking instructions in different formats. Recipes can be grouped into categories and marked as favourites, making frequently prepared meals easier to locate.
Fork recipes also provides a meal planning scheduler and facilities for creating shopping lists from recipe ingredients. Recipes can be printed in different layouts, which is useful when working in a kitchen without a computer or mobile device.
Additional functionality is available through optional integration with OpenAI services. These features can help import recipes from websites, generate cooking suggestions, translate instructions and produce audio narration.
The application can operate as a conventional recipe manager without requiring users to take advantage of its AI-assisted functionality.
This is free and open source software.
