Recommendation for Recipe Database Program or App - Microman - 04-10-2020
Wife and I will be spending the time in the house, typing all of our favorite recipes.
Is there a favorite App that people use, that is easy to use.
It would be nice to print out and sort the types of recipes., etc..
Instead of just opening up a word processor and start typing.

There's probably like 6.8B FileMaker templates floating around, and most of them can converted into their own app by anyone w/ Developer/Advanced versions from the last dozen, or so, revs of FMP. (That way you don't have to pay for a copy of FMP). IIRC, many revs of FMP came w/ recipe templates.
Heck, I even have a pretty good recipe database on the old HP Touchpad from the 2011 fire sale. Buy one of the HP TP's from me, and figure out how to transfer/copy the recipe thingy from one pad to another, and you're in the home restaurant biz.

After entering recipes into a program for a few years only to have it discontinued, I suggest that you find one that can export to a common format.

Most export to csv.

Yep. That one didn’t, it used a proprietary format. It was several years ago, and it still annoys me.

I simply print my recipe's to pdf from whatever website I get them from. If I type the recipe I save both the editable file and I print to pdf. Use folders for categories. It makes it very easy to share recipes.
