the walk sequence ingredient feature sounds handy ...

Your comment about your wifi printer not connecting to your laptop jumped out at me.

That happens with mine so often! It drives me crazy. The printer is on, yet when I go to print something it says that it's offline. I have to go to the room its in, turn it off and on again, and hopefully it will recognize it. I thought it was just me. Is your printer an HP by any chance? This really pisses me off......a lot!

Sigh. Unfortunately, Jasdip, what you describe is likely a fault of cost cutting. In theory, they could make the printer monitor itself and reinitialize when it loses signal or gets overstuffed and confused. Instead, it just sits there like a dummy waiting for you to power cycle it when it's doing poorly.

My printer is an Epsom, and works fine-ish with my iPad, Every time I think I've gotten it to talk to my Windows computer, however, it doesn't seem to stick. I'm sure I could fix it if I made it a priority, or bought a cable. I don't print often enough to leave it on, which is part of the problem, but I could just carry the laptop over and use a cable if I weren't stubborn.

Speaking of which, the app does print, as one would expect. It also has a built in basic browser with a function that will recognize a formatted recipe and import it, if you want it verbatim. I prefer editing while copying manually, and using a proper keyboard, but it's a good tool, especially when a computer isn't nearby. Just for the lock prevention and notation, it might be worth the import rather than just using on the web. There are a lot of other features for meal and food planning and storage that I'm not interested in, but seem equally easy to use and customize. I think this works so well because the app is meant as a meal manager more than a recipe keeper or an event planner. It just fits well with what I want it to do, even though I only "plan" a meal more complex than I can reliably keep in my head every now and then.

It will be interesting to follow how you like it over time.

We used PepperPlate a few years ago for about a year, loved it, and then stopped for no real reason I can explain. Maybe a sign-in issue(?), who knows. Something annoying no doubt.

We are back to hard copy print-out. And a fantastic grocery list. Simple custom basic spreadsheet. One per month. Extra for holidays. Less than 20 sheets of paper a year. One simple shelved stainless book with plastic sleeves. A binder clip inside an upper cabinet. (old school)

I have a custom pull down shelf for iPad but sometimes one touch wrong slips it into oblivion when referencing a recipe. (so much for the future of technology) : )

A NewYears resolution that I've been keeping up with is seasonal and personal recipes. (what works). Pretty basic. 5 breads, 4 or so crackers and a flatbread. 5 corn meal based waffle, corn cakes, bread, savory/fruit topped. Winter soups, seafood,...another dozen. Summer season another 12...sousVide a dozen. Fall harvest. I bet about 100 (?) at the end of an entire year. (not including the breads). Just wrote down the 4th of July bbq ribs SousVide. Hard copy yet also filed. Computer crash no issues.

Print out when you can. Cookbook sales are on the rise I find surprising as I need or want none. Searching these days for a simple ingredient hint is so annoying with advertising pop-ups. I see it getting not much better but worse.

I use PepperPlate but in a limited way.

I import recipes I want to try, fold them into my weekly or special weekend menus.......make a shopping list and if I like the recipe I move it to my Google Docs as a tried and true.If not delete......

Helps me keep track of recipes I want to try but haven't.....otherwise I forget I even have them.

I did look at PepperPlate, but it was too involved for me even to figure out where the basic stuff was. I do browser bookmarks for things I'm looking at but not seriously, and save as text or Word recipes I think I'll make even if far in the future. I finally got my old recipes transferred to the new computer. Many years ago, I typed up all the bits of scratch paper that family recipes had been jotted on, as well as yellowing clippings. What I really should do is make some booklets in Publisher and bind them for posterity, but there's also the web.

My standard shopping is in my head, with an aid from Alexa. I don't have much use for it--I even forget to ask it when I want to know the time--but I love that I can tell it to put things on the shopping list without putting down what I'm working on and washing my hands, and then have it show up in my devices at the store. In this way, the MenuBoard shopping list is good, too. Very easy shopping from the app. You can also print or e-mail the shopping list (love that built-in honey-do).

I'm never going to be a power user. I have my most used recipes on paper in page protectors in a little binder, and two large binders (one cooking, one baking) with repeaters. And too many books. :) But I'm very happy with how this is doing for projects after just the chili bar. The corn muffins was a short recipe, so I typed that in too because the book doesn't lay open. :) (The muffins were good, but not the muffin. I don't know if I'll ever find that.) I've also entered the recipes for the Princess Cake into it.

No interest in the app.

I love cooking and don't want to limit myself to what it might perhaps turn up.

Artemis, I don't know what you're referring to. I just use it instead of paper to display the recipe I'm using, group the recipes for a meal together, and make a grocery list. Same as I'd do in Word, but that shows on my iPad instead of on printout.

Amusing. But no. Just no. I'll take a Rosie, even with the attitude, so long as her wheel doesn't scratch the floor, but the 'bot had better be autonomous or stay out of my way!

have you heard the Cookie Monster voice on the new driving directions app? totally useless but mildly funny. but useless. but humorous. but useless.
