My notebook is very fast but I still have to wait a good long time after I click the icon for the application to start up.
That could be related to the fact that it mimics the same UI as the Android version and thus it probably isn't a native Windows application from the ground up. It is slow to start and a little clunky in general. With that said, I believe the Windows version has only been out for about a year and it shows. I also think it is easier to do the manual recipe entries on my notebook. Most of the time I am using my notebook when I happen across a recipe so I bought the Windows version. There is a bookmarklet which you can use in any browser to automatically import recipes from supported sites, but you need one of the apps to manually copy or edit a recipe. I've been using the Android version on my phone and tablet and it works great on both of them. The cloud sync feature keeps my devices in sync and allows me to look at recipes and my shopping list when I am at the grocery store. I've even figured out how to save recipes from my kindle books (although they need to be manually reformatted).
It automatically imports recipes from many sites and it has a good tool for manually importing when necessary. It has a spot for one photo and a web link, but no movies or additional photos as far as I know. IOS and Android versions are currently on sale for $2.99, Windows and Mac version are $9.99. I have been using Paprika ( ) on Android for about 18 months now and I like it.
I simple weight the amount of rice I want to make, plug in the weight, and I'm good to go.Įdited to fix punctuation. A simple example would be Alton Brown's Baked Brown Rice. Then I start with a Word document and then recreate it in an Excel spreadsheet that allows me to put in the desired quantity and give me the new proportions. The rare exception is a recipe that I regularly scale. So that's my storage system: Word documents on a hard drive. I print a recipe when I am ready to use it, and after I'm done it goes into the recycle bin. I don't own anything like an iPad and would never try to read a recipe off of my smart phone screen. I prefer to have figured them out and express them in my preferred style. I have a specific format I like recipes in so I transcribe them into a Word document Typically, because I'm arrogant, I edit the instructions because I find many recipes have at best marginal wording for what the author is trying to communicate.
