I've been using (and even built!) recipe organizers and complex meal planners for about a decade now. Recently I decided, screw it, and just powered up a little self-hosted wiki. Now I have a section for all the meals that we like to make, that everyone likes to eat and I copy/paste them in.
The epiphany was that 99% of the recipes I was storing were crap and I was wasting my time with a dedicated system. The wiki has about a dozen recipes now, with a new one getting added once a month, tops. It's really not so much work that I need a dedicated app just for recipes. Plus, wikis have really good change tracking, so I'm able to make little modifications without worrying about losing access to the original.

It's a really good point for user experience scenarios that are close to mine. I like to import recipes from places but most of the time what i need would be adding personal notes or making touches to those recipes without losing the original. Not sure how important these are to most of the people tho
