Qisit is a kind-of spiritual successor to Gourmet - Qisit is able to import Gourmet's database without losing any data so you can continue using your recipes collection.
I was a long-term user of Gourmet (after migrating my recipes from Krecipes, another dead project) when it became clear that Gourmet wasn't developed any more - the original author had a completely different approach planned for Gourmet 2.0 basically a web based community with mobile clients.
Unfortunately, the already existing product - Gourmet 1 - has a major problem: It's still based on python 2.7 and PyGtk2 which isn't supported anymore, therefore making it increasingly difficult to even run the program (obsolete libraries conflicting with newer ones, and so on), installing it from scratch is next to impossible. Since I didn't want to lose my personal recipe collection I decided to do something about it. My first idea was to fork Gourmet and port it to Python 3.x, unfortunately that wasn't feasible - it would have taken too much time and a complete rewrite of the code. Since time was an essential factor (deprecation of Python 2.7) I decided to start from scratch with the goal of importing all Gourmet's recipes.
It's not really production ready, although I'm using it productively. Look at Install for instructions
