InternetIsBeautiful

I've seen this site. It's a great proof of concept, and it works perfectly well for what the developer wanted to highlight - it loads amazingly fast and there's no bullshit. It's just not a good cooking site for unrelated reasons, I'll give you guys some examples:

• Lack of synonyms; e.g. barszcz/borscht, cuque/cuca.
• That bloody weird obsession to tie cuisines with governments=countries, even when it doesn't make much sense.
• Barely any variations listed. And even if there was, ingredient-based tagging can quickly become a mess if you enable this.

I am torn by my annoyance at recipes that include a life story and my annoyance at the overused and wildly cringey phrase "based".

OMG can I one up this: https://cooked.wiki/ Just turn literally any recipe in a bloatless no bullshit version!

I'd also suggest Wikimedia Cookbook

This is absolutely great. It would be cool if there was an Onion site and/or an Eepsite

I dig the concept, but IMO they took it a few steps too far

I dont need 80 pictures per recipe, with those dumb "all the ingredients laid out in mice en place" type pictures and shit - but I do want at least one picture of the finished process so I can see what things are at a glance while browsing.

I feel like it'd also benefit from more ways to find recipes than broad categories

Add butter to pasta after boiling. Wtf?

That's cool! I'm always annoyed by the recipe sites and even considered to start a no-bs recipe site. Seems like I don't need to 👍

Kenny, is that you?

Thank you for this - looks like it's got an open source, ad-free Android app as well.
