Does anyone self-host any recipe/meal planner/shopping list software? I've been looking at Tandoor or Mealie but I am not too sure which one will best serve my needs. I would really like to be able to go through my saved recipes, easily plan out a weeks worth of meals and have that exported to a shopping list of some kind.

Most of the discussion I could find online appears to be somewhat dated (2-3 years) and I know that can be a long time for some projects. Does anyone host either if these two programs and if so, which one did you choose and why? I'm open to any other projects that may be better for my use case. It would only be used on my located network and maybe accessed via tailscale occasionally. I'm fairly new to self-hosting but this is one thing that my partner was excited about. Thanks in advance!

I personally like Tandoor a lot. The parsing works pretty well and every ingredient can be adjusted. And there is a pretty good mobile app with https://kitshn.app/ which is also my main shopping list, as I can create custom categories and add articles to that with tandoor.

Hmm an app would be interesting. That might make it easier for my partner. Thanks for sharing the app!
