The idea for this has been around for a for a while. http://forkthecookbook.com/ goes back to 2012. And its an interesting idea. Recipes can't be copyrighted and and recipes are generally derivative. The data is generally well structured, and fairly standardized (ingredients, equipment, instructions, photo, with optional fields for prep & cook time, servings, notes, difficulty, etc). But there are two primary issues:…

Thanks for the great feedback. Yeah, the version history, etc will have a UI at some point. You're also right that needs to be some sort of indication for the diff between forks. We'll get there. People haven't been going crazy with forks yet (turns out if you post to hacker news, that changes :), so that will be worked on. There is an importer already! It's not perfect, but it works with most recipe sites. Thanks fo…

Oh cool I missed that. It looks like a fun project. I will definitely join and try to contribute some. Is there a better means of reporting bugs than the the contact us email form?

Looks good. I think you should also consider adding the "keto" diet on there as well. Maybe meals < 10 net grams of carbs?

yes, then it will be easier to avoid diets that assume our digestive system hasn't had any evolutionary pressure since the neanderthals...

If anyone wants to know the stack it's Django/Postgres on the backend, and an Elm SPA frontend. All data goes through an undocumented REST API.

Nice project!

If you need more data, check out this:

I've also enabled it to talk to this via TOTP, if you ever decide to switch to/want to enable mongo as your recipe doc store:

Good luck with it, and keep us posted!

Thanks, but we have our own importer. BTW, I'd suggest writing a metadata fallback in your library. You'd be surprised how many sites will work just on parsing json linked data or schema.org's Recipe format.

Good luck!
