+# User Guide for GourmetJ application
+
+The GourmetJ application is a self-container web application
+and server program. To use it all that is required is an installed
+Java system (Java 11 or greater), a copy of the web application
+JAR file, a basic ``recipes.db`` file in your home directory
+and a ``.gourmetpw`` password file in the directory that you
+run the application from.
+
+## Basic concepts
+
+The heart of the system is the recipe database. You can enter
+recipes in manually or copy-and-paste them from outside sources
+such as web pages. You can even copy a list of ingredients as
+a unit and paste them into the Ingredients Editor!
+
+Once you have a collection of recipes, you can search based on
+name, cuisine type, category or ingredient. You can mark selected
+recipes and cause their ingredients to be placed on a shopping
+list which you can then export and print or feed to other applications.
+
+## Security
+
+This is a web application and while you can run it on your deskop,
+it can also be hosted on the Internet. To ensure that people can't
+mess up your data, the pages than can alter the database are
+password-protected. Add userid/password lines to the ``.gourmetpw``
+file to allow login.
+
+## Ingredient Keys
+
+An important part of the system is the "Ingredient Key".
+Recipes come from many sources and the ingredient list can vary
+wildly. One recipe may call for "Onions, diced", another for
+"Diced Onions", another for "Finely Minced Onions", and one for
+"Cebollas Cortados". To match all of these up to make a shopping
+list would require a lot more power and complexity than a simple
+app can provide, so we use the "Ingredient Key" to serve as a
+universal identifier. For example, for the preceeding, the ingredient
+key might be simply "Onions". Or, if you like to buy them pre-diced,
+"Diced Onions"
+
+## Shopping Lists
+
+When you have recipes selected, the "More..." button on the main
+page will bring you to a multi-tabbed page starting with the
+list of selected recipes and Shopping List. Each recipe has a
+counter control - if you like Macaroni and Cheese 5 times a week,
+you can spin the counter up to 5 and the shopping list will adjust
+quantities to allow for the extra ingredient amounts. Spin it
+down to 0 to omit the recipe from the list.
+
+The shopping list organizes by Shopping Category. You associate
+a Shopping Category with an Ingredient Key by using the "E" (Edit)
+button on the recipe. Shopping categories can be used to optimise
+your shopping expeditions by placing related ingredient types in
+a group. For example the Ingredient Keys "Onions", "Celery", "Lettuce"
+might all be under the Shopping Category "Produce". "Oregano" and
+"Thyme" might be under "Herbs and Spices".
+
+##  Pantry
+
+Often, you'll already have some of the ingredient in your pantry.
+Like salt. or maybe cans of green beans. You can Mark Ingredient
+keys on your shopping list with the "Pantry" marker and they will
+not appear on your exported shopping list. Note that Pantry does
+not allow for how much is in the pantry, so it's always a good
+idea to check before marking stuff off.
+
+### Maintenance
+
+Very little maintenance is required. You can back up the recipe
+database by just making a copy of the ``recipes.db`` file.
+You can add and remove user IDs and passwords by editing
+the ``.gourmetpw`` file. A restart of the application will
+be required for this.
