Tandoor Recipes

Tandoor Recipes is an open-source, self-hosted web application for managing digital recipe collections. It allows users to organize recipes, plan meals for multiple days, and generate shopping lists based on those plans or individual recipes. The software is deployed as a server-side application, with official support for Docker and provided examples for Kubernetes, Unraid, and Synology installations.

The application provides tools for both individual users and small groups to collaborate on shared cookbooks. It includes a basic permission system to manage access, though it is designed for private use among family and friends rather than as a public facing website. The interface is optimized for mobile devices to assist users while cooking and supports multiple languages through community localization.
