Recipes

What this module is for

Recipes is the reusable cooking library behind Yuvomi's meal planning flow. It keeps ingredients, instructions and portion logic in one place so a family does not have to retype the same meal every week.

What people usually do here

  • Create recipes from scratch and refine them over time.
  • Duplicate or scale existing recipes instead of rebuilding a variation manually.
  • Send ingredients to a shopping list when the recipe is needed this week.
  • Drop recipes into meal slots so planning and cooking stay connected.

How it connects to other modules

  • Meals is the main place where recipes become part of a weekly plan.
  • Shopping receives ingredients directly from a recipe.
  • Pantry helps answer whether the needed ingredients are already in the house.

Good to know

  • Planned meals can be saved back as recipes, which helps when a one-off idea turns into a repeatable household standard.
  • Yuvomi can mirror a self-hosted Mealie or Tandoor instance read-only, so those recipes appear alongside native ones without giving up the external source of truth.
  • If a mirrored recipe needs local editing, the practical path is to duplicate it into a native Yuvomi recipe and edit that copy.
