I love the tabulated recipes shown on cookingforengineers.com [1]. Ever since I first saw this, whenever I get a recipe, from anywhere, I convert it by hand to this format. Perhaps you can automate that process? That would be rad! [1] http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/108/Banana-Nut-Bre...
I also like the modernist cuisine format, example here: https://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/silky-smooth-macaroni-and-cheese/
I'll take this opportunity to mention one of my favorite apps: Paprika [0]. It's a recipe app that can import from just about every recipe site/blog/etc and if it can't auto-import it then you can use the really easy tools to grab all the pertinent information. Once imported you can edit/scale/rate/tag/categorize/etc the recipe. Furthermore it has meal planning tools and a grocery list built in. I love the grocery li…
We subscribe to a meal service called fresh prep which comes ad the problem from the other side, removing some prep and having to ask the question "What's for dinner". I think this is the killer feature Paprika is missing, browsing meal ideas that can be imported and added to your planner.
There is still lots of room for disruption in this space, thanks for sharing.
next level: mining the sites for the content and getting rid of the recipe's life story. to me, no-bs means ingredients and instructions. Maybe a few pictures of the target meal. thats it.
Hi 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’…
Love the fast interface. It would be awesome if you could add functionality to filter by diet (vegetarian, vegan, paleo, etc.) For many people, diet determines which recipes are useful more often than any other factor.
Almond and Dried Fruit Pilaf With Rotisserie Chicken
Freestyle Roasted Chicken Parm
etc. Still show up even with chicken, pork and 150+ other meat terms in the exclude list. But overall it's much improved.
Unfortunately can't find a way to bookmark the exclude list without a JS injection, and the source is obfuscated, so I'm probably not gonna bother figuring out how to do that.
... hm. I see that it does send out a promising looking API request that could be possibly turned into something bookmarkable. Looks like it has a handy array name too.

In addition to the other suggestions, a Firefox extension that does this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/recipe-filter
"Unlock New York Times recipes and your personal recipe box with a free account."

We tried several other apps and this one is worth every penny. Some of my favourite features: - Customize aisles - Auto stacking in shopping list - Clickable timers - Custom import from web - Well working scaling
Strongly recommending this app to anyone.
Sidenote: If available, use a portable scanner at the store. This reduces the amount of times you touch an item significantly, speeding up the experience.
Sidenote 2: To make auto stacking in the shopping list work the item name needs to be identical. We found that separating ingredient from processing works best. So 2 kg potatoes as ingredient and cutting in half in the directions instead of 2 kg of potateos cut in half as ingredient.

I primarily use it because it was the only app I could find with a good OCR mode for importing recipes from physical cook books.
