    Overview

    The goal of this project was creating a KDE Recipe Tool that:

    • Can manage a recipe database with an easy to use interface
    • Allows creation/removal of new ingredients and units
    • Helps with diets, calculating amount of calories, vitamines, carbohydrates... per recipe
    • Creates shopping lists, and daily suggestions for a given diet type
    • Based on SQL, supporting various database types (currently it supports SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL).
    • Should be as flexible as possible to have the possibility to extend it in future.

    Características principales

    • Crea una base de datos de recetas usando SQLite, MySQL o PostgreSQL, utilizando una interfaz cómoda
    • Las recetas pueden ser buscadas por nombre o por ingredientes incluidos o a omitir


    La pantalla de búsqueda avanzada

    • También es posible buscar usando tiempo de preparación y otros criterios
    • Las recetas se introducen y editan en una pantalla similar. La entrada se acelera con el uso de menús desplegables con predicción de texto


    Editando una receta

    • Los ingredientes e instrucciones pueden ser pegados en un archivo de texto que exista con anterioridad
    • Las recetas se pueden imprimir para incluirlas en álbumes, etc.


    Vista previa de la impresión

    • Los archivos pueden ser importados desde una base de datos de Krecipes
    • Así como desde "MasterCook" 4, 5 o 6, "Meal-Master", "RecipeML", "Rezconf" o “Now You're Cooking”
    • También es posible exportar a muchos formatos
    • Puede hacer copias de seguridad y restauraciones de la base de datos.
    • Una lista de la compra se puede generar para las recetas seleccionadas
    • Puedes usar los valores nutritivos para ayudarte en la planificación de cualquier dieta


    El ayudante para dietas

    • Puedes buscar recetas basándote en lo que almacenas en tu despensa


    Seleccionando por ingredientes

    • Las tablas de conversión te ayudan con el cambio de unidades Americanas y métricas


    La pantalla de conversión
    • Creates a recipe database, using SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL, using a comfortable interface
    • Recipes can be searched by name or by ingredients included or to be omitted. Simply type in a part of a recipe name and all those recipes are instantly available to view, edit, or print. If you'd like to fine-tune your search, the advanced search also allows you to search by title as well as any combination of categories, ingredients, preparation time, authors, servings, or instruction text.
    The Advanced Search Screen


    • It's also possible to search on source, yield, preparation time, and several other criteria
    • Recipes are entered an edited on a similar screen. Entry is speeded by the use of drop-down menus using text prediction


    Edit Recipes

    Using the three input tabs, you will fill in the details of your recipes. On the first tab is the title, authors, categories, preparation time, and yield. On the next you may input ingredients, and on the last is the instructions.

    Editing a Recipe
    • Ingredients and instructions can be pasted in if a text file already exists
    • Recipes can be printed for inclusion in scrapbooks, etc.
    The Print Preview


    • Files can be imported from an existing Krecipes database
    • As well as from "MasterCook" 4, 5 or 6, "Meal-Master", "RecipeML", "Rezconf" or “Now You're Cooking”
    • It is also possible to export to many formats
    • Backup and Restore of database is fully supported.
    • Add recipes to your shopping list. When you are done, Krecipes will list all the ingredients necessary, combining units for you automatically, and give you a list ready to print.
    • Nutrient values can be used to help you plan any diet


    Diet Helper

    • You can search for recipes based on what you have in your store cupboard. Plan out your meals for a day, a few days, or even weeks. Give Krecipes information on what you'd like each of your meals to contain, limit the amount of particular nutrient property (fat, energy, etc.), and Krecipes will do the rest.

    Advanced Database Management

    Krecipes takes full advantage of the power of relational databases. Categories, ingredients, units, etc. are stored as separate identities which are linked to recipes when used. You can rename one of these in one place, and all recipes using that element are automatically updated.

    When importing recipes from an external source, you may find many misspellings and strange capitalization. Simply rename these elements in the "Data" panel to correct all your recipes. For example, you may have the categories "Vegtables" and "Vegatables". Rename "Vegtables" to "Vegatables" and the merge feature will put all the recipes under these two categories into the right category.

    Translating

    • User interface: We could always use help translating into as many languages as possible. Note that the current 2.0 branch is not on string freeze, however some translation teams are working in Krecipes anyway, so feel free to join your local translation team and work.
    • Handbook: Currently the handbook in english is very outdated, please wait for instructions.
    • Sample recipes: We are figuring out a technical solution and proper workflow to do this, please wait for instructions.
