Wife: Can you bring me a glass of water ? Me: sure. One hour later ... Wife: What took you so long ? Me: I couldn't fill the glass because there where dishes, and the dishing machine was full, so I had to empty it, then I couldn't find the dishing tables, so I put the kitchen cabinet's in order, but accidentally spilled some flour, so I cleaned the floor and worktop while I where at it.

I love this: https://recursive.recipes/recipe/refried-beans?amount=10&tim... Totally absurd, but fun to play with. I do find sometimes it says it'll be cheaper to buy it, but in several cases I'm positive it's not, or the price of the product in store vs from the recipe isn't directly comparable. The example of refried beans is complicated. If you buy a can of refried beans, it won't be as high quality as the recipe…

I made this for fun with React and Go, its open-source if you want to hack it yourself. [1] I was inspired by the book "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter" by Jennifer Reese. I tried to continue the idea to see how much money+time it costs to continually substitute an ingredient for the recipe of that ingredient. Sorry for the ads - I use them to make back the $ spent on the domain :). I just toned them down. Please let…
Awesome project. I'm a bit obsessed with making food from scratch. I love to see how far down the rabbit hole I can go.
Very nice! Suggestions: don't break the back-button; and make it somehow clearer that one can expand the recipes. As others I was also confused about "buy cookies in the store".
Thanks. I realized I was pushing the history on every React render(). I've fixed that now. The "buy cookies in the store" basically means that there is not enough time to make them so you should buy them (its a bit tongue in cheek). You can increase the time by using the slider or clicking on the cookies so you can get the actual directions. Also, if you hover your mouse over the "Chocolate Chip Cookies" ingredient y…
Going to the store takes time as well though. Best thing would be to already have the cookies in the cupboard.
I would think the ingredients could be processed in parallel. For example, the Chocolate Chip Cookies recipes quotes a total of 9 years 29 weeks to make everything, but really the longest lead item is the vanilla beans @ 4 years. So really it's a 4 year process isn't it?
You're right. I made the tool so that you could just make each recipe like you would normally do, doing one step at a time. In reality you would try to multitask, but that makes it more complicated to dictate as directions. At that point, I would actually try to generate a Gantt chart [1] which could make it easier to follow how to make things in parallel. Also, as a sidenote - each recipe actually has its own "paral…

Yep, it does take time to go to the store (and heck, which store?). Heck, it might even cost energy (ie. kJ) too. However one can perhaps also order online and then it only costs the time to order the product plus the waiting time. Which is idle time, not active time. There's a nuance difference between that. Consider a gazpacho. It requires the soup to be served cold, so after it is basically prepared you need to put it in the freezer. Or consider you marinade something such as tempeh which you stir fry afterwards (the latter of which is active time, the former idle time). Whereas if you're an hour in the kitchen actively busy preparing things, that's active time.

Malcolm in the middle did this very well as oen of their pre-titles bits - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0
I refer to this video sooo many times a year everytime someone tries to understand why some “simple” tasks take so long.
