Saffron's everything a cook needs—in one place: 📕Build your own digital cookbooks 🥘Organize recipes 📅Plan meals 🛒Generate grocery lists 📖Share cookbooks

Hey Makers! I’m Ben. Together with the help of my mom Julie, we created Saffron, an app to build and share digital cookbooks. I’m the developer and she’s the designer as well as a passionate cook. It all began when my mom wanted a better way to organize and share her recipes with our family. She tried several recipe apps and found multiple pain points: - Lackluster outdated UI - Poor recipe display while cooking - No preview when adding a new recipe - Organized by tags instead of cookbooks - Syncing issues across multiple devices - No iOS/Android app - Low quality mobile experience - Inability to share recipe collections We quickly realized the need for Saffron. It’s a tool for home cooks to develop and customize recipes to their family’s tastes. With Saffron, you can organize your recipes into beautiful cookbooks—all kept private, until you’re ready to share. Saffron replaces the need for all those bookmarked websites, binders full of recipes, and stacks of cooking magazines. It preserves your invaluable family recipes and makes them available wherever you go. 🙏 We'd love to get some feedback and I'm happy to answer questions!

Looks AMAZING!! :D Is there any way to import recipes from Paprika? They have some proprietary format and that's the only way to export recipes (other than PDF) as far as I'm aware. Paprika is OK but very outdated, photos are tiny and it generally doesn't offer a great experience.

@anna_0x yes, send me an email at ben@mysaffronapp.com and I can help you import your recipes.

@mysaffronapp @benawad97 how about a tutorial on your website? :D Actually, is it even that complicated? Is Saffron able to import any of the formats that Paprika can export, and if yes, which? That's all I need to know.

@mysaffronapp @anna_0x I haven't setup a system where you can bulk import on the website yet, but if you send me both formats .paprikarecipes and HTML I can add them to your account. I haven't tried importing from Paprika before and want to make sure both work.

@mysaffronapp @benawad97 ohhh thank you so much! Hope you add the feature soon. As soon I clean up my recipes a bit, I'll get in touch so you can import them, as long as it's not too much trouble!

@mysaffronapp @anna_0x no trouble at all, in fact it would be a big help. I've needed someone that has a Paprika account to build out the feature.

Really great service. Good work. Love the meal planner (calendar view).
