The "Dishwasher Salmon Problem": Recipe sites modify recipes for SEO, creating an arms race that produces worse content (yes, dishwasher salmon is real: https://t.co/26BlyTjHQq). I built a solution: Cooklang Federation—a decentralized search for community recipes.
This is also the 4-year anniversary of Cooklang! Started with a simple spec, now it's an ecosystem: • Parser libraries (Rust, JS, TS) • CLI tools • iOS/Android apps • Editor extensions • 30+ repos on GitHub And now: the federation ✨
This parser release completes the preparatory work for recipe scaling in both the CLI and Android app, and implements the proposed recipe linking feature https://t.co/WudnbwzyXA
Recently we added a Mise en Place screen to the Android app—helping you prep ingredients before you start cooking. No more mid-recipe surprises! Check out the app https://t.co/BTniWYkG5P.
Meal planning usually fails because people plan meals for their ideal selves—nutritionally virtuous, always in the mood to cook—rather than their real selves, who come home tired and just want a toastie. Plan like you know yourself.
1/ Right. Let’s talk about potatoes. The noblest of vegetables. The edible hug. The starchy cornerstone of civilisation. And yet, many of you are butchering them. A thread on doing them justice. 🏆🥔
8/ Dauphinoise – Layers of potato luxury. Cream, garlic, cheese (if you’re rebellious). Bake slowly until soft and golden. If your guests don’t moan at the first bite, start again.
