[MartijnBraam]

I've also spend a bit of time thinking about recipe formats because I wanted to write down some recipes for my website. Ended up making a custom yaml-based format after looking at the available options and after a while scrapped that again to make a new toml-based format to make it a bit easier to write.

The format is pretty well demonstrated at https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/fathub-data/tree/master/item... which renders to https://fathub.org/en/recipe/indonesian/main/mie-goreng.html

Some notable features is a mini DSL to refer to ingredients in the instruction text and also have parse-able times and temperatures so on the frontend it's easy to switch units with javascript. This is combined with a simple database of ingredient IDs which contains (translated) names and for some of them the density so you can swap the recipe between volume and weight measurements.
