Thanks so much for the tips Erik

i will= explore the ingredients in table idea as suggested. do you know perhaps of= a way to quick format online recipes to an org table (that is webpage html= to org table) or perhaps a way to convert already entered recipes in my or= g files to tables

kind regards

Hi Xebar,

I still use org to manage my recipes, but I don’t use the org-cook features. It was kind of a proof of concept, and I think it could
prove useful, but it turns out I don’t often need to convert between<= br> units.

I have been trying out the format described in [1]. I used to use a
format like:

  Grate zest from 3 of them. Combine. Add:
  - 2 tbsp peanut oil
  - 2 chicken bouillon cubes, crumbled
  - 5 onions, thinly julienned
  - salt and pepper

But the new one looks like:

  Grate zest from 3 of them. Combine. Add:
  | 2 tbsp  | peanut oil       |     &nb= sp;            |
  | 2 cubes | chicken bouillon | crumbled         = |
  | 5       | onions,          = ;| thinly julienned |
  |         | salt and pepper  |    = ;              |

I think the table structure should make it easier to manipulate,
change units, or create shopping lists. (But I create shopping lists
by hand.)

One hack I do use is the following function:

(defun org-random-element ()
  "Choose a random element from the buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((element-start -1)
        (count 1))
    (while (not (org-first-sibling-p))
      (org-goto-sibling t))
    (save-excursion
      (while (org-goto-sibling)
              (setq count (+ 1 count))))=
    (org-forward-heading-same-level (random count))))

This chooses a random element from a list of headings. I use this to
plan meals. I just keep running the function until I see something
that I feel like cooking.

Hope that helps!

best, Erik
