Mark Kretschmann, who maintains Amarok, announced:

KRecipes is another one of these KDE applications that come out of nowhere and surprise us with a richness of features. Unai Garro, Cyril Bosselut and Jason Kivlighn have written the application to handle, well, recipes.

What does it do?

krecipes.sourceforge.net/about.html gives an outline of the features. Unai says 'the only thing it doesn't do is create the menu given a diet (which I'm doing now)'. It calculates calories and other totals, 'as far as every ingredient has data of calories, carbohydrates.... I plan to get the data from a remote US database, if that's possible in the future. The problem is that probably the DB is only in english, so kartoffen would mean nothing'. There is an feature to import recipes from the net. Krecipes uses SQLite or MySQL as database engine, so it is quick. A neat trick I use on the internet is to "gg:potato onion chicken", listing the ingredients I have on hand, and up comes a selection of recipes. KRecipes? Unai says 'not yet, that's on my todo's for after the diet thing :)'. The current release is 0.3, the next version will wait for everything to get finished and tested. The plan is to include lots of recipes with the release. Testers and recipes are welcome.

What is being worked on?

On the coding side, at last the Diet wizard's gui is more or less done, and useability wise, it looks positively acceptable. It can show in quite a useable way up to 10 meals of 10 courses per day.

The numbers are limited to 10, so the dialog is useable and the memory consumption doesn't increase too much.

At the end of the day... who has 100 courses per day? ;)
