I started working on a website to store cooklang recipes, what I miss is the possibility to link other recipes as ingredients, I wonder if it would be possible

#22I just wanted to shout out Cooking For Engineers even though it’s only moderately related. Its format for recipes is so quick to read. I would love to see CookLang integrate this style of recipe viewing. http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/108/Banana-Nut-Bre...
I prefer the Modernist Cuisine Format:

It's the best I've seen for being able to easily follow along. I also really appreciate their diligence with scaling factors since that tends to be a huge pain point for me with other recipes.

It definitely seems like it would be possible to generate something like this in cooklang, as long as you specified everything in grams.

#24I'd remove the % sign from the syntax for ingredients.
And how does the ingredients scale? Surely cooking for 1 person vs 4 person requires different amount of ingredients.

450 °C or °F ?
Or should we write {450%°C} ? This looks weird.

#26This reminds me of my university prof who wrote some recipes in Haskell [1].

But specifying everything in grams looks like a practical nightmare for normal home cooks. 0.1g of a spice? Verses 1/4 teaspoon?

In my recipes I write `%C` or `%F`, the `°` isn't really necessary I find.

#29I was having similar idea just couple of days ago! this is awesome, hopefully have a good community based apps in the future built around this like Anki

You're always free to take an accurate recipe and make it less accurate. You can't go the other way round.
