Fork Recipes

A web‑based frontend built with Django 5.x, Dockerized for easy deployment, connects to the ForkApi backend to store and organize personal recipe collections. Users can create recipes that include images or videos, assign them to categories, mark favorites, and generate printable versions in compact or extended layouts. The application also offers a meal‑planning scheduler and the ability to import, export, or apply database backup snapshots.

Beyond basic management, the system provides smart kitchen utilities that rely on an OpenAI token. It can scrape recipes from arbitrary URLs, generate new recipes from a list of ingredients, translate recipes into multiple languages, and produce English‑only audio narration. Emoji enrichment of recipe text is also supported. A shopping‑list feature lets users collect ingredients from saved recipes.

The project is released under a BSD‑3‑Clause license, is self‑hostable, and runs on PostgreSQL or SQLite with optional SSL. Configuration is handled through environment variables, and the Docker image supports ARM64 for Raspberry Pi deployments. No subscription is required, and a free tier is available.
