Is Mealie better than Tandoor?

[–] T3KO@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Trying to decide betweeen mealie, tandoor and kitchenowl right now.

I test drove both and the thing that pushed me towards tandoor is that mealie doesn't have standardized sizes in the recipes.

Instead of selecting units of measure from a drop down, it's just an open text field.

Right now I like KitchenOwl the most.

I experimented with both and settled on Mealie. Only thing missing for me is SSO/OIDC, otherwise it's perfect for my needs

I'm trying to answer that question right now and have read every review or comparison of either I can find on this sub. Here is my take:

It is entirely up to your personal preference and situation.

For all major features, both are equally functional. Both have demos, so use both of them and find out. Tandoor's UI felt more clunky to me, and I can't get it to display a recipe with ingredients on a single screen, so I'm going with Mealie. Other people like Tandoor's more granular ingredients/instruction organization.

Same here. I wanted a simple view more like a recipe book and Mealie hits that right out of the park. I am running the omni-nightly in docker though which had an update 2 months ago vs the 2 years for the normal latest.
