This feature is simple, but so brilliant. Leading on from linking recipes, you can also ‘pin’ them, so that swapping between two or more recipes becomes a one-click action as the pinned recipes appear at the bottom of the app screens. It’s also fantastic if you want step-by-step photos to go with the directions. You might want to add a photo to show what a pavlova’s ‘stiff peaks’ look like. This is perfect for recipes like the pavlova, above.

You can also now add photos to the Ingredients and the Directions sections. Being able to separate these tasks in a recipe with sub-headings really simplifies how the recipe looks. For example, a recipe like a passionfruit pavlova will have three components, the pavlova itself, the passionfruit curd, and a vanilla cream. You might think that’s not really a big deal, but it really helps clarify a recipe that has several components. The new formatting panel allows you to also format recipes with bold or italics. This is a very handy feature and one I now use all the time. Clicking the link takes you to the recipe and while you look at the recipe, you can ‘browse’ back to the Salade Niçoise recipe. With the latest version of Paprika Recipe Manager I can link to my Vinaigrette recipe from the Ingredients panel in the app.Īfter you’ve established this link, when looking at the Salade Niçoise recipe, the vinaigrette ingredient is highlighted as a link. Where this comes in handy is where a recipe requires another recipe to be made as part of the final recipe.įor instance, if I’m making a Salade Niçoise, I’ll need a vinaigrette to dress the salad. Until the Paprika Recipe Manager 3, linking and formatting recipes were not a feature – and yet it was the feature I wanted the most. Paprika Recipe Manager not only imports data automatically, it’s pretty close to perfect in getting the right recipe elements in the right place. Easy Import of Recipes from the InternetĪs I was about to import all my recipes from Grantourismo Travels I found using MacGourmet Deluxe’s ‘Get Recipe from Web’ feature too cumbersome to use.Įven with the recipe in the import window, every step (name, source, keywords, ingredients, directions etc) needed to be manually selected and imported and I could not find a workaround.

I have over 480 570 recipes in the app and it works great on all devices: fast, smooth and not buggy. Paprika Recipe Manager is super easy to use on my Mac, looks fantastic on my iPad when cooking, and I’m always pulling the iPhone out of my pocket when I’m shopping after I decide what produce and ingredients I want to cook with that night. I input and write recipes in Paprika on my MacBookPro, I cook using Paprika Recipe Manager on my iPad, and I shop using Paprika Recipe Manager on my iPhone. Paprika works wonderfully on all three devices and how I use them is pretty straightforward.

Paprika Recipe Manager 3’s recent update makes me think they’ll be around for the long haul. Moving between recipe managers is a world of hurt, so going with a new recipe manager app or one that hasn’t been updated recently is a huge risk. Paprika Recipe Manager 3 Review Well Established and Frequently Updated Recipe Manager App Here are the most important features I require in a recipe manager and why Paprika Recipe Manager met my criteria.

However, I was not completely happy with it and I don’t recommend it.Īfter undertaking a lot of research on recipe apps I changed my recipe manager to Paprika Recipe Manager and I’m so pleased I did. Up until a few months ago I was using MacGourmet Deluxe to manage my recipes. I do a lot of cooking here in our Siem Reap studios and I often get asked how I manage to keep my recipes together for Grantourismo. There are now only two items left on my wish list for the Paprika Recipe Manager. The recent release of version 3 of Paprika is the best yet, resolving some of my complaints and bugs with the app on MacOS and iOS. Paprika Recipe Manager is the best solution I’ve found for storing recipes I treasure.
