Sounds like the app I'm building now. :)
Awesome! If you want to chat feel free to reach out to me. There are some really good api's out there to help speed up the process.
I'd be interested in chatting about it, but you dont have any contact info listed in your profile.
I tried a few similar sites recently and settled on Paprika[1]. Not a big fan of their pricing plan (pay per client) but they work OK otherwise and I think they're probably the most popular in the space. How would you compare your service to theirs? [1] https://www.paprikaapp.com/
There have been a lot of apps in this space which were better but also subsequently abandoned by the developers. Almost all of my friends switched over to Paprika because they got tired of switching again and again.
Nice work. Since you've got this far I'll tell you about an idea I've had in the back of my mind for years: 1) Slurp in as many recipes as possible from the internet. 2) Create a way to build a Food Framework by having a whitelist, and/or black list of ingredients. So, for example, a great way to eat if you have diabetes is plant based low fat. In this case you could create that Food Framework by whitelisting all veg…

That has quite a lot of research and information about all of this.

This sounds like something I would use if it were public. It would be awesome If I could swap recipes from the plan. For example, if I didn't feel like having stir fry I could swap it out for a meal with similar points.
I've thought about making it public, but it's highly optimized for me... also therea no gui. It's just a command line app in python. I could make it open source though. It would be neat to see how other people modify it.

I 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…
Me too, although I'm solving a different problem: organization. I'm not so concerned with cost or nutritional value. In the end I went with a somewhat simpler route: LaTeX (well xelatex). I built a couple document classes, one creates a letter sized document and one creates a 4x6 index card sized document. I used the former to concatenate all the recipes into a master PDF as well. This "master" PDF contains the recipes as well as indexes (by author, by ingredient).
I've tried tablets in the kitchen, but ultimately for me the most convenient thing was to just tape a printout onto a cabinet door and go from there.
YMMV.
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 line of text was an ingredient. I also was considering using machine learning in there, but couldn't figure out a good way to incorporate it.
2. Is there a reason you don't include the instructions of the recipe on your website?
Awesome to see some fresh sites in this space. I built Saffron [2] which is focused on organizing your recipes into digital cookbooks.

I'm also working on something like that for myself (because of a colicky baby and hearing that low FODMAP diets help). Right now I have basic schema.org recipe ingestion working. I'd be interested in chatting about it, but you dont have any contact info listed in your profile.
if you're using schema.org there's a nice filtered data dump from the common crawl available here:
