I found tandoor, mealie, etc too bloated and complex for a simple catalogue of recipes. my solutions was mkdocs.
i do have to write out each recipe in markdown but this gives me a chance to read each recipe in detail and understand it before it goes into my catalogue.
No worries I completely get it!
I can’t have gluten, so a big advantage for me is importing and modifying, and yes sometimes taking pictures with notes so I can make easier adjustments next time. Definitely the right fit for us, but I can understand OP wanting something leaner if their needs are lighter for sure.
