#92Is there any app/website that allows you to put what ingridients you have, and shows you what recipes can you make with that?

#95Why are you not using Google's Rich Snippets for individual recipes? It will not only help to get more traffic but also to rank better.

#96I ended up building my own solution to this problem too (though mine is not open to public) The main thing I wanted to optimize was menu planning. So I wrote a genetic algorithm which will generate a menu, add the score, mutate the menu in some way, and iterate. In my database I have a rough price per ingredient, and my families enjoyment of the recipe (though I have kind of a lagging gradient which reduces the score…
I've done this as well using scraped recipes from a website that conveniently labeled all ingredients with data tags for their referral program. Although my goal was to find recipes that shared ingredients to cut back on wastage. I used a constraint solver ( https://developers.google.com/optimization ) and asked it to produce 5 recipes requiring the minimum number of ingredients, and was rather amused that the first…

(NYT cooking very much excepted.) This is a consistently excellent resource, and I love the many small, essential bits of polish they've applied to their iOS app, like preventing your iPhone's screen from turning off when you're reading a recipe.
Cook's illustrated/ATK as well, if you have a subscription. The quality is superb.
Cook's Illustrated is great, their equipment reviews are top notch, and their sweet potato pie recipe is my goto every year. Although like NYT they made unsubscribing obnoxious.
Something I'm surprised I haven't seen mentioned is Serious Eats. J Kenji Lopez-Alt does some absolutely excellent recipes (hello Halal Cart Chicken & Rice).

#98Nice, What did you use to make it? backend/frontend?

#99For those who are price sensitive like me but want all our macros; my personal app also scrapes the flyer for local grocery stores for ingredient prices and runs a knapsack algo to reach my cost threshold and tells me what things I can make

#100Cool project, I love that you can search by macros. A few points: 1. Clipping recipes from different websites can be quite challenging because of the varying html structures. I recently tackled this problem and I'm curious what method you used to find recipe content within an html page? I ended up checking to see if the website followed a Recipe schema [1] and if not use a mix of heuristics to try identifying if a li…
I couldn't find any info on how much saffron costs to use?
