Cooking With Ubuntu
First thank you for your magazine, it is always a pleasant moment to read it.
Regarding Richard Adams, and his articles about “Cooking with Ubuntu”, thanks to him for the “tour” of recipe apps he is providing, I also did some research to find the best software for my recipes.
I agree Gnome Recipes is promising, but obviously the lack of import functions makes this choice impossible for me, as I would have hundreds of personal recipes to re-enter. Also, development looks very slow, and I could not find any milestone about adding an import function. I think this is not in the scope of the app.
Today, I use Gourmet 0.17.4, which is still usable with Ubuntu 20.04, even if you do need to manually install python 2.7 and download some packages from previous Ubuntu releases, see (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230167/can-gourmet-still-run-on-ubuntu-20-04).
IMO, Gourmet is the best solution, because it has all functions, especially import and export with multiple formats. This is important, as I can export my recipes to .mcb (my cookbook) format, and import the file with the Cookmate app on Android (for example). That way, I can cook while travelling outside of my house, at a friend's home typically, which is mandatory for me.
Lasty, there is a Gourmet migration project to python 3. There is already a flatpak package available, and it seems usable, see (https://github.com/kirienko/gourmet/blob/master/INSTALL.md). I just tried it in a VM, and it looks good so far.
