GNOME Recipes is a desktop application for discovering, organising and preparing meals. It brings together recipes, ingredients, cuisines and contributor information in an interface designed for the GNOME desktop.
The application combines a collection of contributed recipes with tools for maintaining a personal cookbook. Users can browse dishes by cuisine, search for suitable meals and keep track of recipes they intend to prepare.
GNOME Recipes is also designed to be useful while cooking. Its dedicated cooking interface presents instructions in a more accessible format, while the shopping list functionality helps organise the ingredients required for selected dishes. It offers a more structured experience than maintaining recipes in ordinary text documents.
This is free and open source software.
