Is there like a Wikipedia of recipes?
Is there like a Wikipedia of recipes?
Not sure if I need to elaborate. I'm sick of having to scroll through an entire fucking novella just to find the recipe when I do a search for something.
Wow it has Risengrød
I was wondering when Luke's link is gonna pop up.
Thank you

yeah, SEO hits recipe sites hard and requires them to demonstrate expertise by telling you about their family history before giving a brownie recipe
God I hate modern SEO
If there is it should be called Recipedia.
Just recipes.
Thank you! Like every site measures things in cups and every time I try to make anything with those measurements I get some abomination. Finding recipes with measurements I can work with has been a nightmare.
That's a lovely site!
That's sort of what allrecipes.com is, isn't it?
If you're looking for a wiki style nonprofit kind of thing, I'm hoping someone else can help!
I like allrecipes because it has lots of variations for the same recipe and reviews for each one.
No, it's not perfect. Reviews suffer from a first-mover advantage.
But...I can often get a really good idea if I search for three recipes for the same thing and then compare what they have in common and where they differ. The comments are great, too - they point out flaws and potential substitutions.
Curated recipe sites are great, but very few of them have good quality control - there are some excellent recipes, and also some duds that you really wonder how they made it in there.
There is an iOS app called Pestle that will pull just the recipe out of any site. It also lets you resize and convert units and makes shopping lists. I think there are several other apps that do this sort of thing too.
Second this. Pestle is amazing, and one of my most-used apps. Money well spent.
Personally, after I locate a recipe I like online, I import it to AnyList - app and web interface list management solution that handles recipes really well for me.
This is the way.
I import into Paprika, a dedicated recipe management app.
I also use Paprika. Great app! I use it for storing all the recipes I like.
I use Recipe Filter in Firefox, there is a Chrome version too. It automatically pops open a model on recipe pages that contains only the recipe.
Each recipe can have variations so one site is never enough for me.
For example, I am going to make curry pickled cauliflower. There are very basic recipes and those that add more ingredients. I found three on different sites and will merge them into one based on my tastes and ingredients on hand.
I have recently discovered that many recipe websites have a clickable link somewhere near the top of the page - before you begin scrolling through all that junk - where you can "Jump to Recipe".
It has saved a lot of my sanity.
Honestly, a better solution would be developing an extension that can identify when a recipe starts/ends and skip you right to it or remove all the extraneous content.
Kind of like an ad blocker, but for recipes with a billion miles of backstory.
It's hard to find any site that just gives the recipe. The best article recipe sites will give you some history of the dish but I still hate it. Seriously who cares that you discovered the recipe while working 8 jobs to feed your 85 kids because your 10th babydaddy left you with only 2 crackers and a lint ball and now this is the only thing they will eat? The amount of times that that basically is what the story ends up being is just ridiculous.
On a related note, why is it so hard to give measurements in both imperial and metric? I really want to have bread recipes in grams, makes it so much easier to get repeatable results.
The ones with just the recipe exist, but you won't find them on Google/etc. It's a known issue with their Page Rank system.
A lot of them now are including a link at the top to jump to the recipe
Please feel free to add stuff to my rather short list... https://quex.cc/c/recipes
I'm sure AI companies already index all those recipes. Have you tried asking chatgpt for a recipe? Chance that it'll give you some solid (and hopefully not poisonous) recipes without telling some sob stories first.
I’ve done that a few times. It gives an OK baseline outcome. It was good, but I’m sure online somewhere else is a better recipe
There are a lot of tools to import and store them that will grab just the main recipe itself. Depends on what exactly you're looking for but I've used Mealie and HomeChart pretty extensively to keep a local book. Or if you're old school there's typically a 'print me' link on a lot of pages to either save as a PDF or print out and put in a binder.
There are a bunch of different extensions for your browser that would work for this. Some just clean up the web page to show just the recipe. Others have a type of bookmark feature to save recipes locally.
Sounds like a market gap!
