I've built a few toy apps like everyone else and found the same feeling when it was just a CRUD listing app of recipes that I could search. What I found was an interesting take and one I'm wanting to take further is I want not recommendations on recipes but _almost_ generation of recipes. So when I search "Chile Colorado" it returns a specific recipe that I created but for each "step" it "links" to relations/more info/etc.
Example:
Ingredients:
- 1lb beef <this is the recipe itself either from a source or you put it in>
- Ribeye is best <this is from the recipe itself and notes you made on this specific ingredient>
- Sometimes substituting chicken is healthier <linked from some other recipe about beef that you saved once>
- This doesn't double like most things do if you are making more portions <linked from some private notes you made about cooking>
- ....
Do you think that caries the context enough? Or do you think that you would just much rather have a list of vetted + manually entered ones?
