Show HN: I built a no-BS recipe search engine

Re: Show HN: I built a no-BS recipe search engine
#22Some thoughts: 1) Clean up the plural duplicates, e.g. peanut/peanuts, leek/leeks, carrot/carrots, etc. 2) I've never considered the author, is that common? 3) Mode to toggle pictures on would help scanning, cooking is very visual 4) Not simple to design, but some way to have either/or ingredients (e.g. peanuts OR cashews) could be useful
2) yes. I follow NYT coooking and there are definitely authors I avoid.
Re: Show HN: I built a no-BS recipe search engine
#23Excellent stuff and a nice break from the "rewrite it all in in my tasty-flavour-lang" approaches to doing this that crop up often on HN (not that those aren't impressive on a technical level!). This ties in nicely with the recent discussions here over the need for more specialised search engines.
Are you able to give any insight into how this works behind the scenes, is it all manually input?
Bookmarked for future use.

#24Very well done. I love the design and simplicity. I would be cool if you could search by ingredients or food allergies. Somewhere you can basically state the ingredients you have and then it'll suggest recipes, but I understand if you don't have all the recipes indexed by ingredients Sorting the table too!

#25Hey, another fan of vegrecipesofindia/Dassana's Veg Recipes I see! The site has some quirks (best not to try to use the quantity adjustment (which doesn't change everything) or metric/US customary toggle (which is often wrong on at least one side)) but in terms of actual recipes, range of stuff to enjoy making and eating - and quality of photos/general SNR actually - it's really nice, highly recommend it.
Re: Show HN: I built a no-BS recipe search engine
#26Hi HN I wanted to be able to search recipes from sources I knew I could trust. I also wanted a way to sort recipes by rating and include and exclude ingredients I already had. Going forward, I aim to add more sources, better ingredient filtering (hierarchical) and more dimensions (cuisine, meal time, etc.) Let me know what you think! One thing I struggled with was whether to includes mode with pictures or not. I can’…

#27You're gonna get C&D imminently like that other site did.
I can't find the name of it, sorry.
I fully support what you're doing. I am not fussed with someone's back stories about how their great grandmother's auntie's friend had her hair dyed when walking her dog to pick cherries... Blah blah... Just want the recipe and method
But unfortunately... Advert revenues are a thing.

#28no bs, yet NYTIMES has a modal popup that you cant unclick....

#29Looks great! https://based.cooking/ might be another good source of recipes if you're not already using it.
Based.cooking is great. I have my own instance running on my server. Version controlled recipes are the way of the future

#30Looks good once the 404 issue is fixed. Perhaps for a future release you could tag / filter sources by country? A big problem for me in recipe search is avoiding localisation issues (e.g. Having to do all the conversions from cups; remembering that 'heavy cream' is somewhere in between single and double cream etc.)
404 issue should be fixed.
Tagging by country / locale is a good idea. Another thing I'm currently working on is using a data structure of ingredients instead of a flat list. This structure will handle things like different names for ingredients and hierarchy (ie. no dairy will exclude milk and butter as well.)
