In this particular case, the resource has been around since 2004, and is part of the wikimedia network. So I highly doubt any of the wants I mentioned will get implemented if it hasn't already. A new website/app doesn't have to deal with old stuff so it's free to innovate its UX, ideas, etc. I also don't like the idea of not using existing work, but sometimes that's better than trying to adapt a system to do something completely opposite to its original goals. I don't intend to be quite critical, but as an amateur cook I just don't see the need for this. Traditional cookbooks + reading a book like Ratio by Michael Ruhlman will serve your time far better in my opinion.
