Hi hn! It has always annoyed me that recipe websites are so cluttered and have so much (in my opinion) useless fluff, so I made a little website to solve that problem! One good thing about SEO for once is that Google has pretty much forced the internet to adopt JSON-LD for recipes so many recipes are directly extractable and for others I have several fall back parsers including an indieweb parser :)

If you do find a website that is broken feel free to click the flag button or share it as I would love to fix any edge cases

Genuinely useful. The recipe-blog SEO arms race made the open web measurably worse for one of the most basic human needs. Two feature requests: (1) export to a clean Markdown file so I can drop it in Obsidian, (2) a "just the ingredients + steps" print view. Would pay for either.

Does this also make recipes to have better instructions? Some of the recipes found in internet are quite imprecise and needs to be more algorithmic. If you apply some AI-based tuning on those, that'll be great!

It's always bothered me that recipe sites are now full of SEO-targeted text you gotta scroll past just to find the actual recipe. Thanks for this.
