In Ask HN: What are some fun, conversational GitHub repos to contribute to?A person by the name of Luke Smith actually started a project with a similar goal of aggregating recipes a while ago: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/based.cooking
Here's the current site, albeit it's built in a fairly minimalist fashion: https://based.cooking/
I guess the entire initiative came out of complaining about modern web bloat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvDyQUpaFf4
Here he talks more about the actual site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykNEkiYr0QM
Personally, i don't really enjoy his tone or vocabulary choices, but the site works and one has to admire creating lightweight websites, even if they're largely incompatible with the modern trends in content publishing.
Congrats on your site, though!
In Show HN: CookTime – Recipe indexI would recommend https://based.cooking/
It started out as a joke but I have made a point of picking a recipe out of it every week to try.
The stone soup one is fun and a nice story - https://based.cooking/almeirim-stone-soup.html
You can also submit recipes on the Github repo - https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/based.cooking
