@Jabo although search is really great you instantly know the quality of recipes is "aggregated or marketing" junk when one recipe contains quantities in millilitres, mystical cups and a oven temp in unknown centigrade scale so heres a idea for you to automatically rate those things by just investigating unknowns and either help them to be converted to multiple centigrade scales, and single/multiple comparable metrics you've achieved the ultimate you are missing direct links to search results, to single search result and it's hell of a task to find a link to click that opens the little modal with recipe information (click on square should be enough)

>> quantities in millilitres, mystical cups and a oven temp in unknown centigrade scale As somebody who likes to cook and has not the slightest idea of what Farnheits, Ozs, Yards, Feet, Gallons, are, nor anything about how Freedom Unit Related & Co. converts to simple decimal metric measures, you are speaking Klingon.

Cups, spoons, etc, are convertible to millilitres. Most recipes call for pre-heated over at 180ºC unless states otherwise. Cooking does not observe reproducible builds. You always, always needs to taste, poke, look. If your flour is of a different type of grain or not as fine, if you use different varieties of vegetables, or if your kitchen is a few degrees warmer or cooler, you WILL get different results. So go ahead and use any mystical cup you want. Ingredient proportions are what matters. If you fail, write down what went wrong so you know better next time.

  I've been cooking and programming for a long time now and wholeheartedly agree with everything you said except the default oven temp thing. Baking is a cargo cult of chemistry and I'd say most folks are well advised to follow those recipes exactly.
