This is an experiment in combining all the things I care about: design, ruthless organization, and making messes in the kitchen.
Somehow, there's no out-of-the-box solution out there on the internet that works the way I want it to (said every designer ever), so I'm biting the bullet and making it myself. In the process, I'm slowly teaching myself Jekyll, Git, and deep diving into CSS/HTML for the first time since college. Seems like the world's a little different out there.
Some recipes will be our family recipes or simple basics, others will be bigger DIY projects like making your own bitters or kombucha. Most of these are direct translations from other sources (thank you, sources) and I lay no claims to the content.
Eventually, I hope to add fancy search and commenting functionality so that I can document what I've learned every time I make something new. This is also an exercise in teaching myself to be patient. Is it working yet?
Because I work with a bunch of wonderful nerds, I couldn't help but obsess over the recipe schema. My recipe template is based off of the entities on https://schema.org/Recipe and I've done my best to create a complete (lolol) set of tags that span meal type, ingredients, diets, cooking methods, cuisines, and seasons. It's complicated, and a perpetual work in progress.
