TW5 and Recipes

[Andy Pastuszak]

I'm trying to tweak TW5 to make it more like Evernote.  I just discovered TiddlyClip, which I find to be insanely useful.

I'm going to try and use Bittorent Sync to make the file available across all me computers and devices.

The last thing I would like to add is some good way to store recipes.  Has anyone done anything with recipe management and TW5?

[Matthew DeAbreu]

It should work fairly well, I haven't done much management but I do use TW5 to store recipes that I enjoy. For example:

! Ingredients

 * 1/2 pound unsalted butter

 * 3/4 cup white sugar

 * 3/4 cup brown sugar

 * 2 eggs

 * 2 cups all purpose flour

 * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

 * 1/2 teaspoon salt

 * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 * 2 cups chocolate chips

! Instructions

 # Preheat oven to 375°F.

 # Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugars together; add the eggs one at a time until well blended.

 # Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and add them to the batter by hand, stirring to blend. Add the vanilla and chocolate chips.

 # Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

This is how I format one of my recipes, I also have every recipe tagged with Recipes so that I can easily find them. I also have an index showing me all the recipes in alphabetical order with a button to create a new one:

<$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param="$:/skeletons/recipe">Create New Recipe</$button>

<$list filter='[!is[system]tag[Recipes]]'>

<$link><$view field='title'/></$link><br/>

</$list>

In order for this index to work you will need to create a tiddler with the title "$:/skeletons/recipe" as a starting point, I have this just to help me out:

! Ingredients

 * First Ingredient

! Instructions

 # First instruction

If you have any questions let me know!
