Zest

Self-hosted recipe manager and culinary diary that pairs recipes with food memories.

Webfreeglobal

Zest is a free, open-source, self-hosted culinary diary that combines recipe management with photo memories, dates and stories attached to each dish, plus shareable moment cards, PDF cookbooks, a multi-tier URL recipe scraper, and an ingredient-based 'what to cook' suggester, all running in one Docker container with no cloud or telemetry. It suits homelab users and privacy-focused cooks who want their recipes and the memories behind them kept together on their own hardware.
