best way to store cooking recipes? note organizer app?

[fdread]

Hello,

I would like to use my e-reader (Kobo Libra Colour) to store and get convenient access to my cooking recipes.

Thinking about it, I would like something like a "note organizer" (I am a big fan of Joplin ) to avoid having a separate file (ebook) for each recipe.

Has anyone looked into such a tool for our Kobo's?
Or another creative way to easily store/sort your cooking recipes?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Probably would just be easiest to make your own epub cookbook. It kind of depends how you have the recipes stored at the moment but you could use a tool like pandoc to convert a text or Word document to an ePub or use some other ePub editing tool like the one in Calibre.

Really you just need to make sure each recipe is in the table of contents.

I use ePub format to store my personal recipe collection. Relatively easy to modify the recipes and generating a ToC using headers.

I did this at one point, so that I could send a copy of all my recipes to my mother's Kindle, but it's several years out-of-date at this point, and to be honest I've forgotten how I did it.

I store all of my recipes in Copy Me That (which I originally got into for the easy recipe scraping from websites, not so much for the organization), which I believe also has an export to HTML option. Most likely I simply exported everything to HTML then did a basic cobbled-together EPUB using Calibre's ebook editing tools.

It's probably not a good future-proof technique for a frequently-changing recipe book. I'm constantly adding new ones and deleting ones we didn't like or don't cook very often anymore, so, perhaps the exercise of creating a v2 will make me come up with a more easily iterable solution rather than doing a mass dump-and-recreate-from-scratch operation every time.

There's dedicated recipe managers that can print recipe cards. (I use old copy of MasterCook 9, but the newer version is subscription yuck.) I do print to PDF and put it on the Kobo — see here.

I have used Paprika on mac and ios for years. It works great for me and no subscription just a one time fee- it is a separate charge for mac and ios but I loathe subscriptions.
