Harald Franzen posted a new comment:
Yes you can.

I have my recipes in a MySQL database on a central server. All clients 
can connect to it and retrieve the recipes, etcetera.

This is how I did this:

I created a MySQL database with a user and a password on a central 
server accessible by the various clients.

Then - this is under Ubuntu - I edited the following file (for each 
client!): /usr/share/applications/gourmet.desktop

Line 76 is the exec-line, where the application is actually started. It 
starts with exec= . I changed that to reflect the different database, 
location and credentials: Exec=gourmet 
--database-url=mysql://user:password@serverurl/database

Of course, in your environment, "user", "password", "serverurl" and 
"database" have specific values.

Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions!

Best,

Harald
