Mahlzeit [ˈmaːlˌt͡saɪ̯t] helps you manage your favourite recipes.
To use Mahlzeit, you have to set the RECIPE_HOME variable in the environment where you run it.
$ export RECIPE_HOME=path/to/your/recipe/folderMahlzeit allows you to search through your recipes by tags, ingredients and titles. The following, for example, looks for all vegan Asian meals that mention peanut butter in their ingredients.
$ mahlzeit list --ingredient "peanut butter" --tag asian --tag vegan
[satay-noodles] Vegan Satay Noodles *vegan, Asian*
[fried-rice] Easy Vegan Fried Rice *vegan, Asian*Once you have found the perfect recipe for you, just provide Mahlzeit with number of servings you want. It will take care of the calculations.
$ mahlzeit show fried-rice 4
... RECIPE ...Note: The output is valid Pandoc markdown, so you can easily pipe it into pandoc -o recipe.pdf to generate a good-looking PDF of your recipe.
In case you want to edit a recipe, just run:
$ mahlzeit edit fried-rice
This should open your favourite editor (the EDITOR environment variable) with the recipe file you specified.
Many recipes online still use a format that was first used by a DOS program called Meal-Master, or MM.EXE. Mahlzeit supports importing from this format. To import, run
$ mahlzeit import <path/to/your/recipe.mm>If you find the parser having problems with a valid Meal-Master file, open an issue.
