In the recipe the third step of making yogurt calls for yogurt. > 3. Stir in some yogurt (from the store or from a friend) and cover with a clean damp towel overnight. It is kind of a missed opportunity to not include yogurt as the ingredients list for yogurt, and in the flow chart, to have a loop arrow from yogurt, pointing back into it self. “To make yogurt, you need milk and yogurt” EDIT: Looks like somebody already filed a feature request. https://github.com/schollz/recursive-recipes/issues/19

I have a list of recipe "reactions" [1] which is compiled into a giant network of recipes. When a recipe is chosen, the directions are generated recursively from this network. [1]: https://github.com/schollz/recursive-recipes/blob/master/rec...

The recipes are pretty generic. The data is actually all in a configuration file on Github. [1] Its organized in terms of "reactions" as in, every recipe is a "product" of some process applied to a set of "reactants". This is useful for reactions that have multiple products.

I made this for fun with React and Go, its open-source if you want to hack it yourself. [1] I was inspired by the book "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter" by Jennifer Reese. I tried to continue the idea to see how much money+time it costs to continually substitute an ingredient for the recipe of that ingredient. Sorry for the ads - I use them to make back the $ spent on the domain :). I just toned them down. Please let me know if there are any other suggestions!
