Every family recipe, bookmarked food blog post, and meal-prep formula stays organized inside Vanilla Cookbook, a self-hosted culinary library that converts volumetric measurements into precise gram weights and scales servings on the fly. Paste a URL or click the browser bookmarklet to scrape recipes from hundreds of cooking websites. Plain-text ingredient strings split automatically into structured quantities, units, preparation notes, and optional or to-serve badges. Home bakers switch effortlessly between US cups, imperial ounces, and metric grams across thousands of ingredient density profiles. Inline oven temperatures, fractions, and numeric ranges adjust automatically as serving counts change. Nutritional text parses into a structured per-serving breakdown, while integrated shopping lists, cooking logs, and equipment lists keep weekly grocery planning synchronized across desktop browsers and Progressive Web App mobile devices. Connecting an optional OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, or LiteLLM endpoint unlocks AI fallback scraping for pages lacking Schema.org markup, automatic recipe translation, verbose direction summarization, photo-to-recipe extraction, and vector-based semantic search. Multi-user accounts, OAuth authentication, public recipe sharing links, and bulk import or export tools give households full control over their cookbook data. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
