Gourmet Recipe Manager is a manager, editor, and organizer for recipes. It has a plugin architecture which allows you to enable extensions to Gourmet's base functionality. For example, there is a nutritional plugin that allows Gourmet to help you calculate nutritional information for any recipe. There are also a wide variety of import and export plugins that let Gourmet read and write recipes in various formats.

This program aspires to meet the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. Please let me know if you see any ways the interface could become more GNOME HIG compliant (or just improve in general).

Under Linux and Unix systems, running sudo python setup.py install will install gourmet to your current python environment's default location (i.e. subdirectories of /usr/local for most Linux distributions. For information on how to customize these locations, run sudo python setup.py --help).

That should be all you need, and will create an entry in your launcher menu. Alternatively, you can now run gourmet by issuing

gourmet

from the commandline.

Gourmet also has commandline options, most of which should not be needed by an average user. Issuing gourmet --help will get you help for those options.

No warantee, etc. Please inform me of bugs/problems/feature requests and I'll respond as quickly as I can. I can be reached at Thomas_Hinkle@alumni.brown.edu
