Request: Recipe for Paprika

angelyne · 03-04-2018, 06:46 PM

Hope this is the right place, and that I am not misunderstanding what a recipe is.

I use a (food) recipe manager to collect all my recipes into one spot. It's called Paprika (paprikaapp.com). The app lets you copy a recipe from pretty much any online source straight into your database. That works great.

However, I have purchased several recipe books and would really like to be able to import my recipes into Paprika. I was successful in converting them to epub and then unzipped the book to get the individual HTML files. But opening the file in a browser displays the recipe fine, but the app doesn't seem to capture the recipe.

So I was wondering if there is a way to tweak the conversion so that the end result is something that paprika would accept. It supports a really wide range of different recipes sites, so I'm thinking it shouldn't be that hard for someone who understands HTML and the conversion to epub format.

Just discovered this, not sure if you are still reading a couple of years later...
I too would love to be able to take an EPUB and just convert all of the recipes in it to Paprika!
But, assuming you have an HTML file and you want to open it in Paprika, you need to run a local web server and then point Paprika at that. (It won't work trying to open the HTML file directly in Paprika.)

So first you buy either a number of bell-peppers or pointed peppers in your supermaket (even better if you can get them at a farmers market). Put the whole peppers into your oven at high temperatures (or use a BBQ grill if you have one). Wait until the skin starts to peel off, so you can remove them for a better texture.

Next, cut an opening into the top and remove the white inner parts and the seeds. Now, depending if you eat meat, either fill them with a ground beef/ground pork mix or use feta cheese instead. You may even mix you ground meat and feta cheese.
Make sure that the filling is seasoned well, otherwise your stuffed paprika will be bland.

Now cook the stuffed paprika in a pre-heat oven for about 30 minutes (depending on the size) at around 180°C or 360°F.

Enjoy your stuffed paprika with a nice sauce and a glass of red wine.
