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.
Whatever does the trick for you! For me its mealie, because my wife loves to find new recipes online, and I just can't stand dealing with these sites. So import by URL is my main feature, then I tweak it as I go, no more dain bramage from terrible sites.
If you've got the recipe though - yeah markdown or cooklang rocks as a solution!
I love mealie. I can steal online recipes, catalogue them, adjust them to my liking, plan all the shopping. Definitely a core self hosted service in my house.
e: I was so excited I didn't realise I just parroted everything you said.
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.
