  • Recipes shall not contain animal parts
  • Please categorize every recipe added
    • Do not add additional categories unless approved by Avi and Nicole
  • Please tag new recipes as you see fit.
    • Add new tags if you'd like, but be conservative, there are likely already tags that will work.
  • Click the green I Made This button when you make a recipe
  • If your recipe relies on another recipe, try to link to it using the markdown syntax. Or just paste the link in a description or a note and I'll edit it later.
  • Rate recipes you make on the star system!
    • If you rate it below 4 star, add a comment on why. Recipes will likely be culled if they are rated 3 or lower
  • Comments
    • "It goes really well with..." either other recipes on Mealie or wines, brews, potions.
    • "I had this before a hike and it was great." type
    • "This was really good for company." and the like
  • Notes
    • Specific tools you used that helped
    • Ways to make parts of the recipe easier, quicker, or stackable (e.g. while step 3 is simmering, start on step 7)
    • Specific ingredient changes you've made or suggestions you have.
    • If ingredients can only be bought at specific places or if you happen to have a bunch of a rare (non-perishable) ingredient that others making that recipe next can see they can borrow some from you.
  • Adjust Total, Prep, and Cook times to be reasonably close to true
  • Adjust servings to be reasonably close to accurate

Using Mealie

Mealie has really good online documentation, but here's a quick run-through:

  • Markdown: Every field allows for markdown. Most common: bold with a word surrounded by ** e.g. **bold** italics is one * like *italics*. Make a link by typing the link text in brackets immediately followed by the URL in parenthesis e.g. [Nicole's favorite food](https://mealie.nicoleandavi.com/g/main/r/homemade-bagels)
