Tandoor: When Your Recipe Collection Outgrows Browser Bookmarks

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 09:00:00 +0000

My recipe “system” used to be a browser folder with 240-odd bookmarks, a Notes app full of half-typed ingredient lists, and a recurring Sunday-evening ritual of squinting at my phone in the supermarket trying to remember whether I needed one tin of chickpeas or three. It worked, in the sense that a shopping trolley with a wonky wheel works. It got me there, mostly, with some swearing.

Tandoor is what I replaced all of that with, and a year in I’m not going back.

I have a confession. For years my recipe collection was a chaotic sprawl of browser bookmarks, screenshots, a Google Doc nobody could find, and three different paper notebooks with the handwriting of a doctor having a stroke. Every time I wanted to cook something I’d dig up the original blog post, scroll past 1,400 words about the author’s grandmother in Tuscany, dodge a video ad that started playing on its own, and then finally reach the bit telling me how much flour to use.
