While we don't have a standard way of doing this currently, one thing you can try is feeding a recipe into ChatGPT and asking it to output in schema.org recipe format. Mealie supports importing raw JSON that way: https://demo.mealie.io/g/home/r/create/html You can also do it via the API if you wanted to automate it (rather than importing over 100 recipes one at a time) |

Specifically ask it something like "Convert the following recipe into the standard recipe format defined by https://schema.org/Recipe" |

Well, It worked for one. I'm NOT a dev and don't play one on TV, so the API solution is a decided non-starter without a metric ton of hand holding. I guess I need to decide if this is worth the time to convert my database. Cheers |

So, Going through this again, the free ChatGPT shuts me down saying wait until tomorrow. If I can do one or two per day, then this is most assuredly a non-starter. |

Since you're coming from a non-standard free-text format, there's really no getting around some sort of data structuring; a typical parser won't be able to handle that. The easiest way is leveraging AI (e.g. with ChatGPT). Another option would be to put a few dollars into an OpenAI account and set up Mealie's OpenAI integration. You could then import recipes through Mealie using OpenAI. More info here: https://docs.mealie.io/documentation/getting-started/installation/open-ai/. Currently we have no way of doing this in bulk, but at least you wouldn't be limited to 1-2 per day. Otherwise you could manually convert your recipes to a structured format (such as the schema.org recipe format) but that would be a huge pain and not really feasible on more than a dozen or so recipes. |

If you do go this route, Mealie technically doesn't have support for arbitrary text import via OpenAI, but if you have the OpenAI integration set up and you throw your recipe in the "Import via HTML" box it will probably work. You might have to surround the text in HTML tags, e.g. <html><body>This is your recipe text here</body></html> |

Note that this will not work without the OpenAI integration since our parser can't parse recipes not strictly in schema.org format |

Well, Honestly what I was doing was fine. I genuinely don't see myself going through these gyrations to use Mealie. Cheers |

So,
Once upon a time, I was an avid user of the free ChefTap version.
Challenge was, the 100 recipe limit.
So, over time I started migrating recipes into Trilium Notes,
They look like this:
Today I've stood up a Mealie server in my home lab. Is there an easy way of getting these recipes into Mealie?
I've tried using ChatGPT to convert, but that was a rather spectacular fail.
thank you
chris
