Mealie Tutorial

Using Mealie to scrape recipes from a blog

Import and Check Recipe

After logging in, look to the left below your username.

Import a recipe

Click Create, then Import From URL

If the recipe looks fine, you're done. If it looks like one paragraph of mush, you can fix that.

Click the edit button.

If it seems like nothing is happening, try refreshing the page or navigating away and back.

Scroll Down and Edit

Sadness

You can edit any part of the recipe here, but scroll way down past the long-paragraph-recipe to the Bulk Add button. Copy the text from the recipe and click Bulk Add.

Then paste and edit the recipe. You can try the auto-recognize button to see if it can split for you.

Below the textdump
Success!

Don't forget!! Scroll back up and hit save !!!

No autosave here buddy

Bonus Features - Recipes options menu

Add to Plan is good for people who like to calendar things. Using this will add a recipe to a date on your personal calendar in this app.

Add to List will let you build a shopping list directly from recipe(s). Will not work unless you make a list first.
