Hey HN!

I built a recipe search engine that lets cooking enthusiasts easily find and filter high-quality recipes from top sites like Serious Eats, ChefSteps, and StarChefs, all in one place. Completely free and more sources (including cookbooks) coming soon.

Would love your feedback—thanks!

Super interesting on the ingredients feature. Kept trying to stump it with niche items and it’s pretty comprehensive. What did you use to source the list?

Reminds me of a project I did where I looked into cocktail data from some of the more "involved" cocktail books like Death & Co, etc. Was quite tough to clean when I tried this about ~6 years ago.

How were the recipes tagged after being crawled?

Great website selection to source from..

Why do you need a signin to search the recipes? What does it bring to the experience besides bookmarks?

too many AI crawlers these days
