Comment on Mealie – a self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner with a RestAPI back end

I use google sheets :D because of the flexibility it offers.

It's accessible everywhere already, works good on mobile, so you don't have to haul laptops/tablets when cooking/shopping.

If i need extra notes on some ingredient, i just use some adjacent cell.

But above all - formulas. A lot of recipes lend themselves to calculations. Things like crepes (something superior to pancake) can be narrowed down to exact number of crepes you want. Same goes for ny cheesecake - dial the pan size and ingredients and baking time, temp are modified. Breads are basically fully formulaic so that is also covered.
