Paprika the DIY cookbook Suggestions welcome

I made the switch from paper to paprika. Besides building a cookbook, what else do you do with paprika?

I use it in lots of rubs. It also makes a nice visual garnish for deviled eggs. It is Traeger compatible and pairs well with PBR...actually I don't know if that last part is true, I've never had PBR.

Curious though, how do you build a cookbook with paprika? Does it solidify mixed with something else? What color ink do you use to write in it?

Huskee after high school, I found Spanish paprika much easier to at least get the jest of it. I still struggle at times as I never mastered fluency. Hungarian though, it’s just like reading Greek oregano or Chinese five spice to me.

I downloaded smoked hungarian paprika and half my family did a disk dump! They have sensitive operating systems anyway.

I find the menu feature to be very handy, especially for the holidays or other big cooks when a lot of separate recipes are involved. Makes it easy to refer back to previous years’ successes (and near-successes).

I have also gotten in the habit for many years to always rate a recipe after I have cooked it based on family feedback. That way if I am looking for a specific recipe I can easily tell which is the best (per the family) or which we haven’t yet tried.

I’m starting to do that, too!

I modified Myron Mixon's Basic Hickory Sauce recipe from his book "Smokin' with Myron Mixon." Before I started using Paprika, it looked like the image below, replete with food stains and corrections. Compare that to the same recipe in Paprika shown below.

It's also helpful to create a shopping list, share recipes and I just discovered it even includes a timer.

Great idea

Regarding the "building a cookbook", I use Paprika to save recipes that would otherwise just blow right through my head never to be remembered. Then, 6 months later when I’m thinking about what to make, I look through Paprika at what I liked enough to save.

Anything we make and like, we rank.

random recipes we want to try are in their own category and unranked

The grocery list feature is probably what I use most. Add everything for the recipe to your list, then check off the things you already have before heading to the store. Saves me from the "oH sh!T$" during prep, and also cuts down on buying things I already have 3 of in the pantry.

I did that back around the holidays, wife even helped me put all her old recipes that were on cards or hard copy in, so that we could make a shopping list for all the ingredients across a half dozen recipes.

I like it for scaling recipies. Use that feature ALL the time.
