iRecipe is an ebook cookbook that provides recipe management capabilities in a software application.
To make searching for recipes easier, iRecipe allows users to tag their recipes with keywords such as "vegetarian" or "favorite." The software also has a search function similar to the Spotlight search on Macs to help users locate their recipes quickly.
iRecipe is currently in its early stages of development, so it has limited functionalities. Its 1.0 release aims to provide basic features such as the ability to store and search a catalog of recipes. However, additional features are planned for future releases, including an attempted nutritional analysis of recipes based on their ingredients and a unit converter that can switch between English and metric measurements. Suggestions for new features are always welcome.
The software is open-source and is released under the MPL, meaning any programmer can contribute to its development. The OS X front-end is written entirely in Cocoa, allowing for a fully native and seamless experience on the Mac platform. The software uses the Cocoa-Java bindings instead of the deprecated Objective-C language, making it easier for programmers to understand and work with.
To run iRecipe, users must have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or above, as well as Ant, installed on their computer. Overall, iRecipe is an excellent software for anyone looking to organize their recipes and make them easily accessible.
