Based.cooking – Cooking recipes website without bloat and bullshit, straight to the point.

I've seen this site. It's a great proof of concept, and it works perfectly well for what the developer wanted to highlight - it loads amazingly fast and there's no bullshit. It's just not a good cooking site for unrelated reasons, I'll give you guys some examples:

• Lack of synonyms; e.g. barszcz/borscht, cuque/cuca.
• That bloody weird obsession to tie cuisines with governments=countries, even when it doesn't make much sense.
• Barely any variations listed. And even if there was, ingredient-based tagging can quickly become a mess if you enable this.

I'd also suggest Wikimedia Cookbook

I dig the concept, but IMO they took it a few steps too far

I dont need 80 pictures per recipe, with those dumb "all the ingredients laid out in mice en place" type pictures and shit - but I do want at least one picture of the finished process so I can see what things are at a glance while browsing.

I feel like it'd also benefit from more ways to find recipes than broad categories

That's cool! I'm always annoyed by the recipe sites and even considered to start a no-bs recipe site. Seems like I don't need to 👍

Kenny, is that you?

Thank you for this - looks like it's got an open source, ad-free Android app as well.
