    I really, really like this idea.

    I've had an idea of making a super simple / user-friendly personal cookbook web app for a long time, because so many recipes sites are just so miserable to use.

    I think this site looks great already, but if you'd be interested in contributing / offering feedback to something like this just let me know

      Feature idea:

      • Make it so the first entire half of the page isn't some derivative drivel of a blog post containing all the hot search keywords, so that you have to scroll for five minutes before you can actually even tell if you're interested in the recipe or not.

      • That's... that's it :eyes: lol

      • OK fine: also, less 'use 1 teaspoon of salt' and more 'keep adding salt until it tastes good, but keep in mind that the flavours will change as it cools down' :red-fist:

        I'm completely with you there.

        I think that there is some room for an expandable block of the "history" of a recipe if it's something like a family recipe or has cultural significance. But I hate the filler copy people write for recipes.

          Ooooh I love the idea of cultural/historical context though! And ya, an expandable block is the perfect solution, imo. Maybe a very short summary sentence that expands into more depth. Coooool.

      I'd find such a app very useful. We do regular meal distribution in my city and having access to simple high value recipes would help us greatly.

      Feature ideas

      • recipe scalability (20, 60, 80 meals, etc.)
      • emphasis on ingredient prices
      • equipment needed
