Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
recipe-manager
The Recipe Manager plugin lets you manage a personal cookbook entirely through Claude Code or Cowork. It has four main capabilities: 1. Recipe CRUD — Create, view, edit, and delete recipes. You describe a dish in natural language and it generates a structured markdown file with YAML frontmatter (ingredients, cook times, tags, dietary info, etc.) 2. Recipe Search — Find recipes by ingredient, cuisine, dietary restriction, difficulty, or any combination. Supports "what can I make with..." queries that rank matches against what you have on hand. 3. Meal Planning — Generate weekly meal plans from your saved recipes, balancing variety and difficulty across the week. Also produces nutritional summaries. 4. Grocery Lists — Consolidate ingredients from recipes or meal plans into a shopping list, grouped by store section with duplicates combined.
Tiny Plates
Search structured recipes, scale servings, match pantry ingredients, and build shopping lists.
