Paprika is a fantastic recipe filing app that distills bloated pages into just the facts.

I’ll check it out.

I’ve just been asking chatgpt for recipes lately and it’s doing a great job. The other night I made béchamel sauce for the first time (cooking for 6 dinner guests!). ChatGPT nailed it.

I’m 2% sad for all the recipe websites it’s ripping content from. But then I remember what utter Adsense cancer they all are. “My mum made this recipe! You’ll never guess step 6!” While being plastered with 8 auto playing videos on the edges of the screen. I hope those websites suffer a firey death.

I'm using Cookbook that's similar, just paste the url and let it import (it works flawlessly >90% of the time for me). Love the layout on tablet, I get ingredients and steps side-by-side which is super useful.

Also Umami - I've had the most success with the widest variety of sites using this extension. Also has an excellent iOS app.
