- nsrivast 11y agoI've often thought recipes could benefit from a more structured representation. One idea I had was to recursively define a recipe as either: A) a raw ingredient B) a procedure (measurement [4 cups, 2 stalks, 3 pinches], reduction [slicing, dicing, julienne], combination [folding, mixing, blending], heating [sautee, fry, bake, roast]) on one or more recipes It would be interesting to compare the resulting recipe "trees" across region, cuisine, chef, etc.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoThere have been attempts, RecipeML comes to mind. Edit for grammar.
- samstave 11y agoI would prefer a service that signs up with major grocery stores to have every receipt emailed to my "recipe as a service" API where it is associated with my personal loyalty card ID, such that whenever I buy anything from, say, Safeway, I get a list of recipes that can be made from the known inventory in my home. Make the delivery of "what was bought" to the RaaS completely automatic and transparent.
- delinka 11y agoAnd the 'reverse' - Plan a week of meals from recipes, and the grocery list is generated. Better, have the list items collected, packed, and ready for pickup at the store.

- cade 11y agoMy wife and I have been working on our own startup: https://www.land-of-nosh.com/ https://www.land-of-nosh.com/. You can plan a week of meals and generate the grocery list (among other things). I (and especially my wife) look forward to the day I can integrate with grocery order and/or delivery services to have groceries ready for pickup or delivered.
- krebby 11y agoThis used to exist in Gojee, with ingredient tagging. AFAIK they abandoned that feature to focus more on recipes and discoverability.
- prawn 11y agoAnother interesting variation is recipes presented as Gantt charts, or especially a sequence of courses presented as such so you know what to prepare in advance, what to do just before serving, etc.
- imh 11y agoNot Agile enough :p
- mark_h 11y agoI quite like the chart representation used in cookingforengineers.com, showing the parallelism in a recipe, eg http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/87/Carrot-Pulp-Cake-Part-I http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/87/Carrot-Pulp-Cak...
- jschulenklopper 11y agoCame here to post this as well. Essentially, he's using the Nassi–Shneiderman diagrams for food recipes (instead of software recipes).
- awhitty 11y agoAwesome, I'm working on some ways of slicing through recipe data right now (cocktail recipes, really), and I'll consider this tree structure as I go about things.
