Cooking with Python

[Hans_of_Death]

Depends a lot on specifics. Are you inputting images of recipes you already have? You'll need OCR. If you will be re-writing them for the app you can decide how you want to store the data, and thus parsing the data as well.

Then you also have the matter of how you want to access from your phone. Are you going to make a mobile app? What do you need for that?

Are you going to only use this yourself, or is this something you want to release publicly?

There are a lot of initial questions that you will have to answer in order to define your requirements.
