WHAT IT IS: A recipe manager app that makes it simple to save, organize and share recipes.

paprika1WHY WE LIKE IT: The holidays are right around the corner, so we’re already busy planning holiday meals with our families and friends. Thankfully, a friend told us about Paprika, the app that makes it easy to save and organize recipes.

How does it work? Simply search for a favorite recipe online, clip it, and add it to your library. The built-in web browser gives you access to recipes from anywhere on the web, so you can always find new culinary inspiration or ways to incorporate a specific ingredient. It also allows you to add offline recipes (like your grandmother’s famous dish) and include photos.

Once entered, your recipes are searchable by name, ingredient, or source. They can be synced across all of your devices so you’ll always have them at your fingertips.  Plus, you can share them via email with a few quick clicks.

One of our favorite features is the ability to generate a grocery list from your recipes. Just tap on the shopping cart and voila! A list of ingredients instantly appears and you can edit it depending on what you need to buy. The app even arranges them into categories to save you time. Good-bye tiny scraps of paper.

If you want to be super organized, Paprika includes a weekly or monthly meal planner. (O.K. We don’t do this yet, but it’s nice to know that we could!)

HOW MUCH IT COSTS: The price ranges from $4.99 (iPhone, iPad, and Android) to $19.99 (Mac and Windows) and you pay per device. We suggest giving Paprika a try on your mobile phone first to see if you like it. (Note: They have had a Thanksgiving sale in past years.)

NOW, TAKE THE FIRST STEP: Download the app on iTunes or Google Play and start saving your favorite recipes. Traveling for the holidays? No problem. You can take your recipes with you wherever you go. Happy cooking!
