Find a recipe you like, and you can click to add it… as long as you can find the button, which is now at the top right, formerly occupied by the "add new recipe" button, which has now moved to the bottom right when in browser mode. Paprika offers a long list of supported and partially supported websites from a bookmarks bar at the top of the window when you're in browser mode. When you're not managing your recipes, you can browse for new ones using a built-in browser. And the option to "add a new custom recipe" is an easy-to-miss plus sign at the top right.

Seeing as that far left rail functions as the main navigation bar, I think the settings button should be there, although it's not. It's just not a premium product, even though it's priced like one. Buttons feel out of place, and one or two didn't do what I expected them to do. But my main beef with Paprika is that the interface just isn't well refined. I can't even count the number of times I had to close the crash report window. Additionally, the Mac app contains a built-in browser, which didn't support Flash, meaning Flash crashed repeatedly while I was testing Paprika. The Paprika Mac app ($19.99) accomplishes the basic feats of digital recipe organization, but it's more meat-and-potatoes than haute cuisine in terms of features and execution.įor starters, it's expensive, considering there are better free alternatives, such as Evernote Food and Pepperplate. The digital solutions for recipe management these days let you clip recipes from the Web with a single click, rearrange your categorical sorting system without starting over from scratch, share recipes instantly, and automatically generate shopping lists based on the meals you plan to make. Recipe management is worlds better than it was in the days of coffee-stained index cards slotted into a little filing box-or worse, those horrendous photo-album-like books. ![]() Flash player constantly crashed in Paprika's built-in Web browser. ![]()
