Nice idea. Would be useful for my recipes that don't have a picture.
What's mealie?
Clever!
Really useful AI tip
I though that it's screenshot from just eat, talking about some restaurants using AI for their food lol
Yet, now i'm pushing another app on my homelab and preparing to make my GF use it along with me
I honestly rather have real pictures of the meals, that way I know what I'm cooking :D
Came here to say this :) dark theme with real pictures looks slick to me
I mean, if it's a recipe that you've made and you want a picture of it, there's a good chance that you aren't good enough at food photography to make it seem anything other than a bowl of generic bits-- I know I'm terrible at it.
Is Mealie better than Tandoor?
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.
Go search unlicensed image instead of using midjourney, there is a LOT of license issues with AI (because companies who make them are actively doing illegal things)
He is putting these images in Mealie for his personal use. Why would he need to worry about licensing the images?
Really cool! Looks straight outta FFXV!
