This is a simple cooking website where users can submit recipes here for credit. There are no ads, trackers, cookies (unless reciples thereof) or javascript.
- By adding a recipe.
- Make a recipe and take a nice picture of it if no nice picture already
exists. Submitted images should be small
.webpfiles ideally less than 100K or so. - Fix errors in recipes or add minor improvements.
- Model submission files after example.md. Put them in
src/. - Recipes should start with a title, with a single
#, on the first line. No empty line at the top, not trailing line at the end. The file needs to be\nterminated in linux-fashion (if you're on linux you don't need to care, it should be automatic). - File names should be the name of the dish with words separated by hyphens
(
-). Not underscores, and definitely not spaces. - Recipe must be based, i.e. good traditional and substantial food. Nothing ironic, meme-tier hyper-sugary, meat-substitute, etc.
- Don't include salt and pepper and other ubiquitous things in the ingredients list.
If you fail to do these things, I will close your submission and you will have to resubmit. I am tired of having to fix more than 50% of submissions.
You can (and should) add tags at the end of your recipe. The syntax is:
;tags: tag1 tag2 tag3
The tag line should be a single line, at the end of the markdown file, preceded by a blank line.
Add between 1 and 4 tags, prioritize existing tags. As a general guideline, add the country from which the recipe originates if the recipe is representative of said country, using the adjective form (eg. mexican, italian, etc). Tag the main ingredient if it's something slightly special.
List of special, categorical tags to use if relevant:
basic: for basic recipes that aren't meant to be stand alone but are supposed to be incorporated in another recipe.breakfastdessertdrinkquick: for recipes that can be cooked in under ~20 minutes.side: side dishes such as mash, fries, etc.snackspread
Images are stored in data/pix.
Each recipe can have a title image at the top and perhaps several instructional images as absolutely necessary.
Do not add stock images you found on the internet. Take a good picture yourself of the actual dish created. If you see a bad or substandard image, you may submit a better one.
Images should be in .webp format and with as small file size as possible.
If you submit an image for say, chicken-parmesan.md, it should be added as pix/chicken-parmesan.webp.
If you would like to add additional directional images,
they should be numbered with two digits like: pix/chicken-parmesan-01.webp, etc.
The front page, for now, will just be a list of recipes automatically generated
from the content of src.
As more articles are added, the site will be reorganized, categorized
or will implement server-side scripting or searches.
This is not necessary yet though.
I don't really want images of recipes on the mainpage yet. I'll think about how best to do it to minimize bandwidth if possible.
