Thanks for the idea! I noticed the same, but only in a couple of my recipes, never enough to come up with a solution. I like the idea of splitting the recipes in parts/components somehow. Internally, these parts could be represented as new recipes and then linked to the main one. Not sure if these sub-recipes should be part of the household and shown in the recipe list or be hidden. If you can, feel free to propose a UI for it, always happy for suggestions and inspirations. |

I recently discovered kitchenowl because I am trying to move all of our services to locally hosted opensource programs. Thank you so far and I hope you continue to enjoy the project. ?every? Recipe should possibly be the sub-recipe of another one and be selectable as a component during recipe creation (like in the main search with the help of tag and search term). In fact, recipes should be able to contain components, which in turn have sub-components. Example? Cake with whipped cream{id123}(cream/vanilla/sugar) and crème pâtissière {id234}(milk/sugar/flour/cornstarch/vanilla/yolk/butter) topped with .... I will continue to test kitchenowl in the near future and then I have to try to motivate/train my wife to use something new now instead of "bring"... |

I played around with the recipe-scraper Tom uses and thankfully, it's able to recognize recipe-groups: [
IngredientGroup(
ingredients=[
"1 tsp active dry yeast powder",
"1/4 cup / 65 ml warm water",
"1 tbsp white sugar",
],
purpose="Yeast Activation:",
),
IngredientGroup(
ingredients=[
"1/2 cup /125 ml warm water",
"4 tbsp /70g white sugar",
"2 cups / 300g plain flour (all purpose)",
"1 cup / 155g cornflour / cornstarch",
"1/4 cup / 65 ml vegetable oil",
"2 1/2 tsp baking powder",
],
purpose="Dough:",
),
IngredientGroup(
ingredients=[
"1 tbsp vegetable oil",
"1/3 cup finely chopped escalot or white onion (Note 1)",
"1 tbsp sugar",
"1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (, regular or light (not dark)",
"1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce (can sub Hoisin)",
"1 tbsp sesame oil",
"1/2 cup water",
"1 tbsp cornflour dissolved in 1 tbsp water",
"1 1/2 cups Chinese Barbecue Pork (, diced (Note 2)",
],
purpose="Pork Filling:",
),
]Based on this, we could continue creating sub-recipes?! At least in theory |

I started working on the UI with the chinese steamed pork buns. Ingredient-groups are straight-forward: https://excalidraw.com/#json=sloKuoOwtTpkxBTSCjLsV,J0u8YT15hlsvU2vEytE6gQ Description is tougher: For the buns, you first prepare the dough and let it rest, then prepare the filling and then return to the dough. I'm not sure how to create a streamlined UI without taking hours to create a recipe:
As a result, I vote for ingredient-groups but they could organized in the database as recipes, so that UI can maybe adapt as soon as we have a better idea. |

I want to bring this up again because with the new ingredient tagging in recipes I often have the problem that I need the same ingredient twice but with split amounts (let's say 50ml of cream for step 1 and 200ml of cream for step 4). Allowing to add the same ingredient multiple times would be a solution, but it would require to be able to use an index of some sort with the tagging feature. |

I'm pretty new but loving KitchenOwl so far!
I've started putting in recipes, and already noticed some dynamics regarding ingredients (items).
Some recipes have sections of ingredients, such as for the main part, and then a sauce to put on top, or a crust. Then, the directions specify "to make the sauce, combine ingredients in a bowl", etc.
Given that there's only one list of ingredients available for the recipe, I have to list out the "sauce" ingredients, like "combine the cream, butter, flour, etc", and then when preparing, I think it's a bit unwieldy to find all of those in the list of recipe items.
Also, some recipes have, for example, "butter" more than once - one, melted butter for a sauce, regular butter as a main dish ingredient. I don't think it's currently possible to have two "butter"s, but with ingredient sections, it could be.
So: I'm thinking it would be good to have a way to create "sections" of ingredients, like "sauce", "main dish", etc, within a given recipe. That would require a button to add a section, and a way to associate an item being added to a section.
Does that resonate with anybody else? Should I figure out UI and put in a request?
Edit: Just realized perhaps the sections could be called "recipe components"? Like "sauce, crust, filling" as "components"?
