Mealie is great. I love the API and integration with home assistant. I use it for planning grocery runs and collecting recipes.

What is Mealie?
Mealie is a self hosted recipe manager and meal planner with a RestAPI backend and a reactive frontend application built in Vue for a pleasant user experience for the whole family. Easily add recipes into your database by providing the url and mealie will automatically import the relavent data or add a family recipe with the UI editor.
Mealie also provides a secure API for interactions from 3rd party applications. Why does my recipe manager need an API? An API allows integration into applications like Home Assistant that can act as notification engines to provide custom notifications based of Meal Plan data to remind you to defrost the chicken, marinade the steak, or start the CrockPot. See the section on Meal Plan hooks for more information. Additionally, you can access any available API from the backend server. To explore the API spin up your server and navigate to http://yourserver.com/docs for interactive API documentation.

Heya ! I love it. Easy to setup, easy to use but need a little learning curve and planning to be optimal. i can only recommend it !
Mealie is great. I love the API and integration with home assistant. I use it for planning grocery runs and collecting recipes.
My favourite recipe management app that is constantly evolving. It has many features like recipe import, recipe scaling, etc.
Its a good app but the major feature is missing. (Recipe Scaling.) Will stay with paprika till that time.
This has been a feature for quite a while now. You can parse a recipe into structured data and it'll scale it for you based on servings. There's numerous parsers to handle this including ones that use NLP (which is always improving) and 3rd party AI models you can setup with an API key.
My favorite recipe management app. 100% self hosted (Docker) with a great API. The dev team is also amazing and constantly improving it.
