I wrote something like this as my first programming project. I had serious trouble with an algorithm to search and filter recipes, however.
The best point of my site was that it gathered its recipes from food blogs and linked directly to them. I had to tweak a scraper for about a hundred different food blogs, it was a hell of work, but the scraping results were good.
Differently from SuperCook, which uses food portals, my recipes were all personal and of higher quality.
- madamelic 10y agoDo you still have the scraper? I'd love to see it.
- fiatjaf 10y agoNo, I didn't even know version control or how to properly save code to disk at the time. It was 2011. I kept all my code in Dropbox and life was a mess. There was a site with recipe search at http://receitrom.com.br/ http://receitrom.com.br/. Wayback Machine had it, but it seems to have a new search feature now that doesn't find anything anymore. Anyway, it was scraping recipes in Brazilian blogs, so it would probably be useless for you.
