Recipe Collection

Overview

The recipes I cook regularly, written in Cooklang. It’s a plain-text markup where ingredients, cookware, and timers are inlined with the steps. I built a small Astro integration that parses the .cook files at build time so the site can render them, scale ingredients to any serving size, and let me search by ingredient.

Cooklang means each recipe is a single text file I can edit anywhere, version in git, and parse with my Cooklang TypeScript parser. No proprietary recipe schema gets between me and dinner.
