Fantastic! Loading all our family recipes and it is very intuitive. Surprising my wife with finally being a better husband after 30 years.

[@vejymonsta3006]

Lmao

[@BAFinlayson]

Great tutorial. I learned a lot. I’ve been using paprika for a while and love it. In my family there is just my wife and I so we don’t need to cook as much food as some recipes make. Which brings me to a useful aspect of the app that you didn’t mention, the Scale & Convert button in each recipe. It allows scaling the ingredients to the size of your event and to switch measurements between US standard and Metric. Good job on the tutorial I wanted to learn about menus and the grocery list, which you covered very well. Thanks.

[@VICTORLopez-mt2tf]

This is how you do a video. She has doing her homework and had a presentation plan - very clean presentation. I wish all KZbin videos were like this. Paprika seems to be exactly what I need and I will be getting it. In addition I will be using this video as a guide to get started. Thanks

[@lavendertownvip1908]

You are so well spoken and really good at explaining things. Thanks for making this!

[@capersinmykitchen1653]

Thank you Amber, this is so helpful. I was looking for a new recipe organiser to migrate to from my old one and your review has helped me decide.

[@tiffaniarostegui3419]

I just bought an iPad too and have lots of recipes to organize and have been looking into the paprika app, so this is SUPER helpful! Thanks so much!

[@jules60724]

I have been using this app for years as well! I have been lax in adding new or experimental recipes that I have been perfecting. Thanks for the inspiration! One of my fav uses is the ability to increase and decrease servings. This allows me to decrease the recipe based upon amount of ingredients I have, cook for just the two of us, or increase the recipe to bulk size for freezing or cooking for a houseful.

[@kellyhawthorne3629]

This is such a great video! I really appreciate the time you put in to this. I was looking for a meal planning app and saw Paprika somewhere online so I came to KZbin to see if anyone had a comprehensive video and yours was perfect! If I could add one thing, it would be nutrition information that you could sync to health apps. But, it's pretty close to perfect as it is!

[@lynettevargas8524]

How powerful!!! I was looking for meal planning and a pantry inventory. Going to download it. I just began homeschooling my 9yo and he wants a say in dinner plans which means he needs to help me with meal planning. He will have fun using this.

[@melindaharris3261]

Thank you for your thorough review of this app! I am going to start using this today for meal and grocery shop planning! I'm excited to see how this is going to save me time and money.

[@catherineeastman6810]

What a powerful app! Thank you for reviewing it. I’m downloading and starting my recipe organizing journey!

[@michellewatson1335]

I’m 20 & Just got a new home and this is really helpful thank you so much 😍

[@elainejunefiel4927]

Wow! Just what I was looking for! For someone paperless, this looks like something I'd use daily. Thank you so much, gonna download it now.

[@jacquelynpekar]

I’ve been using it for years! I just love it!

[@audreyh3231]

I've been using this app for recipes for years and love it but never used the meal planning feature. Came here for more on that - clearly I've been missing out! Very helpful. Thanks!

[@vejymonsta3006]

The only thing missing from this is a nutritional calculator or calorie calculator. Something the developers should definitely consider. It would make this app a one-stop spot for all of your meal planning, and you could then use it to view historical data on your nutrition. That would be an incredibly valuable feature.

[@lindamgauthier]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been using Paprika for over 3 years. I was not aware of the other features - groceries, panty, meals or menus. I was just using it to enter, organize, scale/convert and download recipes. - which are so easy to use. I'm glad that I clicked on this video. I am now subscribed to your channel.

[@kjw79]

Thank you! I wish all reviews were this good. I feel like I can always use it since you have a great tutorial!

[@SophieRagosino]

I enjoyed your demonstration of Paprika Recipe Platform. You did a great job! I think I may really enjoy this setup.

[@kukuna2012]

Thank you for sharing! I was looking for a all-in-one app to organize my recipes or years. This is the one! Looking forward to watch your review on the digital panners and other cool app that organize life better. thank you!

[@colleencrowley8766]

I love this app and have used it for years but not nearly as well as you use it. I love it because we go to camp with no internet and I easily take all my recipes with me. Thanks for showing me what else is possible with it.

[@TheMomOf3FunBoys]

I wish there was a LOVE button for this video! Fabulous! Thanks!

[@hannahmaywright]

Thank you for this! This app sounds incredible. Will definitely be giving it a try!

[@bielxcorrea]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the clear and thorough review!

[@Kozette88]

You are an excellent salesperson. Yes, Paprika needs to sponsor you because this is my first time hearing about this app. Thanks!

[@mohammadqasim4152]

Thank you so much for the assistance. It is indeed a great help for man to cook when he is lost in the kitchen on what to cook. Bless you

[@user-xt8xr8pe6c]

Wow that was a stellar tutorial. Clear and thorough. Also, it was all great info and no time wasted. Really appreciated

[@rudolfburggraaf]

Wonderful video. Thanks so much for the incredibly clear explanation!

[@suejacoby5538]

I'm impressed you're that organized! Ha. My family is all grown and gone, and so it's just my husband and myself to cook for. I'll take a look at this and see if it's something that I'll use. Thanks for the great video.

[@auricabaker1001]

You are a lifesaver I love this and this is so relatable

[@mikemalone9896]

You are a rockstar! I was looking for something like this. My wife and I are in our late 70s and now I have to do all the cooking, shopping, etc. this will work so good for us. I am subscribing to your channel now. Thanks &or sharing.

[@missLiliv]

Thanks a lot! The app looks awesome, I will definitely try it.

[@instamaaam7082]

This was so helpful thank you!

[@aubreyogilbee5659]

Just what i needed! Thank you!!!!❤

[@deebrinkle5524]

I use the pantry feature a lot. I even put paper goods, health and beauty items, etc in there. Anything you buy at the store, not just food related. I try to go to the pantry as I use the last of anything, on the spot and show it out of stock. Then I populate them to my grocery list. Saves so much time on shopping day, I spend less time actually looking in physical pantry, fridge, freezer.

[@cybermaventech]

That's a great idea!

[@stevenharness2283]

Greetings from England. Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I use Paprika, but you have introduced me to some features that I haven't used yet.

[@paulettewebb6888]

So cool!!! Just got my first iPad and came across your video when looking for apps I want add to it. Blessings

[@patrik6872]

Thank you for this! Love the app

[@user-px1ge7wc7k]

I've been using Paprika for years, but never to it's fullest potential. I found myself wanting to do more meal planning so I was looking for a new app.. Then I decided to see if there was a video that showed how this worked in Paprika, and I found yours. Thanks so much for the great ideas. I also like to save personal recipes, and have always just taken a picture of the recipe and add it that way.

[@lifeinthe208]

This is app is amazing! Downloaded and working on the week.

[@Amberwardell]

Can’t wait to hear what you think! It’s seriously changed by whole cooking game.

[@deannawilley8178]

This was very well done. Thanks. The only thing I can think of that you did not mention is that you can also add categories to the lunch, dinner menu such as snacks or make ahead. Thanks again. I will share this with my daughters. 😊

[@mamak2066]

Thank you so much!! Super helpful video!

[@jonathanybarra1148]

:O it's like someone read my mind and put all wishes into one app

[@diptibrahmane8993]

i downloaded this app after your brilliant video - loving it loads…! as a new mom,being organized is sooooo crucial. pls do share more videos on productivity apps for ipad 😃

[@victoriabell4436]

Excellent speaking voice, kudos for avoiding the all too common 'sing-song' voiceover. Obviously a good working knowledge of the Paprica App. Thank you, I've watched many recipe apps and this review sold me on Paprika.

[@cybermaventech]

I just found and purchased Paprika. Thank you for this video; it was just what I needed!

[@Beet21]

This is amazing! I'm going to try it out!!

[@Amberwardell]

Yay! I lope you love it!

[@marisa_moon_]

Fantastic video, so helpful!

[@brittany281]

Interesting, going to have to look into this. Thanks :)

[@monkeygirl4987]

Really great review, and it helped me decide that Paprika is for me. Your video is much appreciated. Thank you thank you.

[@BabyTarzansx2]

Thanks for the video 💕

[@Lily-uk7ni]

Amazing!! I just downloaded the app. This will definitely help me out.

[@Amberwardell]

[@deebrinkle5524]

I have my 85 year old Mother and my 65 year old husband with dementia to plan for, both with special “can eat, won’t eat, need to eat” needs. Most of you are probably busy Moms with soccer practice, dance class, work deadlines, doesn’t really matter. I couldn’t function without the menus to meal plan part of this great app. It saves me a ton of money, no longer just buying stuff I think I might use during the week, only to have it ruin and throw it away. Once I got recipes loaded in, I really used the “menu” section. I created like Mexican Monday, Tilapia Tuesday etc, menus, whatever makes sense to you. I put mains, sides, breads, desserts, etc in each day of the week category. You count the days of the month, like the 1st Monday as day 1, the next Monday as day 8, etc out of 30 days. First Tuesday was day 2, next was day 9 and so on through each day of the week. Then I went to the meal planner section, did a + on the first Monday of the month and clicked “add menu” and went to my Monday menu. It populates each Monday of the month. Repeat the process for each day of the week. You have to do the + on the 1st Monday, even if populating Tuesday. It takes a bit of practice, but I now have 2 months of planned menus without repeating a main dish one time. Now I can spend more time being a caregiver or busy Mom without having to worry about what’s for dinner.

[@marydanielle7183]

My husband and I are looking for a meal planning app since both of our diets have to be different and this would help organize and plan grocery shopping for the both of us!!!

[@jaime44124]

Thank you I just got this app!!! Have you found any good planner apps? If you do please share

[@AmySwayzee]

Great video thanks for the tutorial

[@CrippledCartwheel]

I have spent the last year making Prospre - Meal Planner which is available on iOS/Android. A little more geared toward fitness folks but would love to hear what you guys think!

[@Herekittykitty01]

Great review of app!

[@Amberwardell]

Thank you!

[@jaclynh1958]

Can you plan common/ regular menus like breakfasts or lunches and it auto fills the week? Plan to Eat can do that. Can you also plan a month long menu and do a shopping list for just one week?

[@miralomasf7x7]

Your review of this product --- seeing you use it -- was really helpful. I have been using the BigOven platform ('pro' membership) for the past 7 years, which has most of the features you have shown here. However, BigOven is absolutely riddled with bugs, and has poor UI design, both of which make use of the platform increasingly frustrating. I write to them regularly asking them to fix things... lol... they must be sick of hearing from me. When I 'grab' a recipe into BigOven, it still forces me to have to go to the original website hosting the recipe every time I access the recipe (which drives me NUTS for all the reasons you mention in this video). Paprika is doing a much better job in this area. I am going to make the transition and move my recipe library over to Paprika!

[@johanvisser271]

Thanks for the tutorial nice app

[@gordonsonthego9167]

I feel this pain to organize. Starting MBA and just purchased a IPad Pro. Great video!

[@KARENK1]

This was very helpful thank u 😘 !!! thinking about purchasing the $4.99app as it looks worth it. One important question can you print the grocery list to bring to the store???? Are there any other items you can print from that app?

[@Claire.SageGreenCreative]

I totally agree with the frustration of food blogger recipes. Just put the recipes on the top!!!! I get they're trying to make income with the ads and links but just make it easy for the busy chef! Great video thanks so much will consider this app! Also what stylus did you use? Super cute!!!

[@andrewmurschel2608]

That's pretty neat. Is there a way within the app to place an order for the whole list through insta cart or Walmart or similar? I think that'd be a great feature request if not.

[@HomeBrewingTV]

Now that you’ve used this for a while, is it still your favorite app,or have you found anything better since you put this video out. Great video btw.

[@roroscrap]

I love Paprika! I’ve used it for years. I’m just starting to use the meal planning part of it. Your video was very helpful! But you did miss mentioning my favorite feature, the scale button. It’s so great when you need to double a recipe or cut it in half. It does all the math for you!

[@s.wilcox9624]

Thank you, I got the app.

[@cyprienl]

love the laugh at 10:31. Downloading is very powerful.

[@cyprienl]

I got the app.. thank you. And your video is how I am figuring out how to use it!

[@markwilkins9048]

Great video, very comprehensive. Question: can a recipe stay resident in multiple folders? I.e. Chicken Tacos resident in both the Chicken folder and the Under 30 Mins folder? Thank you for the review.

[@favreaux100]

The answer is yes, you can enter a recipe under multiple folders. Ex. pasta with meat sauce I have under Italian and under pasta. Hope that helps.

[@anne-micheleoliverholcombe5195]

well done video - thank you

[@davidshort8987]

Can you print recipes and grocery lists? I like using paper copies to shop and cook and my desktop pc for organizing.

[@owengriffin5949]

Awesome video

[@leahpoli]

I had purchased Paprika App for my Android phone and for iPad. Unfortunately, I already have 100s recipies in .txt or .pdf files, stored on Dropbox, plus I have boxes full of paper recipies cut out over the last 45 years from newspapers, magazines, etc. I cannot figure out how to import. Pdf or .text files. Does anyone knows how to do it?

[@vikkiralph8439]

How do you save a recipe that is within a ebook? And can you save the whole book at once or need to do page by page? Apologies if I missed this in the video.

[@mervyngethu]

Thanks for sharing your review on the app. Can you add a name/comment to the timer? When your lasagna timers went off how you know which timer it was for?

[@YourMajesty143]

You can label the Timer. On the red header, there's an Edit button next to "Timer" where you can label the task that you're timing 11:51. If you don't label it, it'll automatically categorize itself as Timer 1 and Timer 2, and so on. When her timer went off, you could see on the lower right hand side that Timer 1 was still going, which meant that it was Timer 2 that had gone off at 14:27 *Edited to add timestamps.

[@dcooper2883]

Agree with Victor. She should work for Paprika.....Very well presented with no stammering or ummm's......Thanks

[@tiarayong5377]

This is an amazing video. I've been looking for a way to simplify the meal planning and recipe collecting & creating process. You've sold me on this app and covered details I tend to need like more timers and recipes sans the ads and stories. Thank you!

[@AmandaMache]

Does this app have an option to automatically generate a meal plan based on the recipes you have saved, or do you have to choose what you are going to make every time?

[@hillwright6609]

thanks very informative

[@matthewcain7324]

Your kids are gonna want all your recipes someday. I really suggest you add the directions to all your recipes, even if you know what to do. They are gonna preserve the memories of their mother in your recipes.

[@letscelebrateyou]

Any chance it would add up the total macros / per serving / per day?! That would be awesome so you wouldn’t have to input that info into another app if you need to track your calories and fat grams etc.

[@ElexusLovesHerLife]

You sold me!

[@ashleyfox47]

Does this app allow you to tag/label recipes as multiple categories? For example: Lasagna is Pasta, but it’s also Beef. Also, does the grocery list compile the ingredients as necessary? For example: if three recipes during the week call for 2 cloves of garlic each, does the grocery list show a total of 6 cloves of garlic needed total?

[@waitingor8274]

does it automatically select the meal for you in case you dont know what to choose for the week?

[@mixchief]

Does it have a randomization feature for even quicker meal planning??

[@ammerslo2632]

I'll give this a try to reduce the massive paper mound I have from printing. TY

[@dougstahnke7524]

We started with Paprika by entering our current inventory in the freezer. It is time to defrost the freezer anyway. We have quite a variety of foods in that freezer. Should we list these as "frozen foods", or sort by meat, seafood or some other aisle category. We are hoping this inventory tracking will help us to do a better job of using foods before they expire.

[@dougstahnke7524]

Update: We decided to go back and re-categorize our frozen foods to the supermarket aisles. The expiration date is most important. Once all that is in, Paprika allows you to sort so the oldest items are on the top of the list. That is very helpful in managing our food inventory.

[@jasmeetkaur11thcommerce3]

Good job

[@JetBrews]

Can you integrate this with a google calendar so i know what other events are going on that day to plan accordingly?

[@chmpionxpro8725]

good work

[@sophiedushku9234]

Is there any app only for your use? I mean I want an app that I can use it to create my meals, recipes for every meal, or uploading a photo for every meal. Just an app only for you to plan your weekend as you wish,not to search in the app etc. Kust empty to use it as you want. I wish so much to find an app like this

[@summabarling7886]

Can you please tell me what size your iPad pro 2020 model is? I want a big screen and yours looks big. Thank you

[@allysonk9999]

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! I just purchased the app and will play around with it more and keep learning. My question: is there a way that the shopping list will combine like ingredients instead of having individual lines? For example, I had a few lines for onions that multiple recipes required: chopped, half, whole, sliced. Will it combine all recipes and say I need 3 onions instead of multiple lines? I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

[@Amberwardell]

OK, so the way I do my meal planning is that I move recipes into my Meals calendar tab for the week and import the grocery list from each recipe. So what happens for me is that I will see “1 Onion - for Easy Paleo Meatloaf.” Then the next line will say “1 Onion - Spinach Soufflé”. It keeps them on separate lines in my experience. I hope that helps!

[@allysonk9999]

@@Amberwardell thank you!! That seems to be the most cumbersome part of the app. This weeks shopping list had cilantro 3 times spread out throughout the produce section. I'll keep trying to perfect it so my OCD can be satisfied 😃

[@laurablake4759]

Look under settings, click consolidate ingredients.

[@trudywolcott7419]

I'm looking for a recipe software similar to the Living Cookbook which is now defunct. So, please tell me if Paprika software "automatically" includes the nutrition information for a new recipe that you key in (not imported). The Living Cookbook would add the nutrition information as I went along inputting in my ingredients. That's what I'm looking for. Thank you. :)

[@Amberwardell]

No, unfortunately it does not automatically import nutrition information if you type it in yourself
