Krecipes is a new Open Source project for an exciting world that is almost forgotten in the Tux world: COOKING.

Here are some key features of "Krecipes":
Can manage a recipe database with an easy to use interface
Allows creation/removal of new ingredients and units
Helps with diets, calculating amount of calories, vitamines, carbohydrates... per recipe
Creates shopping lists, and daily suggestions for a given diet type
Is based on MySQL (1) so it could be possible to generate a KSN(2)
Should be as flexible as possible to have the possibility to extend it in future.

Now those goals have been pushed even further, so we have support for other more simple databases like SQLite and it includes several other new features. The KSN stuff is still not available, but not too far away.

What's New in This Release:
Krecipes Handbook integration
Nutrient status indicator; while editing a recipe, lets you know whether or not nutrient information is complete for a recipe.
Measurement Converter tool
Ingredient substitutes (i.e. butter or margarine)
Ingredient weights, used for accurate Volume->Mass unit conversions based on the ingredient
Improved unit conversions; there's a separate table for mass and volume conversions and this setup avoids non-sensical conversions (i.e. 1 loaf = ? cups)
Optimized for quick loading and faster startup times
Completely re-done recipe view, based on HTML templates. Generated HTML is much cleaner and compatible, and allows for more flexible printing options.
"Web Book" exporter - exports a collection of recipes into a series of web pages, organized by category.
Ingredients and properties can be displayed in a variable number of columns in the Page Setup.
