All right, thanks for your feedback. Correct, currently this is only content from Wikipedia, although in a more structured form. I hope to expand and improve content over time (maybe even with help of a community).
One idea is also linking from recipes to the SpiceNice database and getting more information about spices in that way.

Well that's sort of a good example. The word "coriander" is used all over the world, but in some places refers to the leaf (in other word, what some places call "cilantro") and in other places refers to the ground seed.
