SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net) has plenty of applications.
Most of which are licenced under the GPL license. I'd
recommend looking around there.

Try Gourmet Recipe Manager which is pretty simple and a program
my mother in law uses a lot:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/grecipe-manager/
It's written in the cross-platform language Python and the GUI
is implemented in teh cross-platform GTK libraries.
