What is Tandoor Recipes?

Tandoor Recipes is a tool for storing, finding, sharing and planning recipes. You can import recipes from many websites by URL, plan meals, build shopping lists sorted by supermarket and calculate nutritional values. It is open-source software that is free of charge, and you can self-host it with Docker, Unraid, Synology or Kubernetes. A hosted version at app.tandoor.dev has a Free plan for one member and 10 recipes, with paid plans above that.

Cons: where it falls short
