I use nextcloud cookbook but I would really love another or a federated alternative. It does its job but I don't think other people I know would use it.

I've been using copymethat but I'm trying to move to obsidian.

Could you elaborate on “move to obsidian”? I’m already storing some recipes in my vault, but I would be interested in further features like shopping list generation and other filtering options.

I'm trying to find that out myself, just started playing with it yesterday. Right now I've got a personal store of recipes in CopyMeThat, and that's got some nice features like meal planning and shopping lists but its not integrated into anything.

I've seen a few approaches so far, some guy on the forums has all the ingredients stored in the front matter and uses dataviewjs to display them in the note which allows for unit conversion but I think that's too much, I still want to be able to read them without obsidian.

Right now I've got tags and method and ingredients in the front matter along with checklist add-on formatted tasks in the main part of the note. Eventually I want to have it pull a recipe at random and put it in my weekly note or something.

Yeah, I’d also generally prefer to use my front matter for my global tagging and sorting so I can keep my templating consistent. I’m not explicitly opposed to adding more, but in an ideal world I’d keep my front matter pretty trim.

I’ll do some experiments of my own with data view and such to see if I can get some good functionality.
