Organizing Recipes with ML for Creative Cooking

That's me! For context, my old Google Doc started crashing during search because it's too big. I tried some existing recipe management apps and they all were a little disappointing, especially for search. I’m a very flexible cook but I use recipes for inspiration so I really want fuzzy search. So I built it!

Highlights:

* searching for shrimp will suggest prawns, seafood, fish…

* searching for “tomatoes and eggs” will suggest “tomato and egg” to be more inclusive

* searching for “ratatouie” will suggest “ratatouille” cause my spelling is mid and I cook a lot of languages that are romanized inconsistently (chow mein, chao main)

* it’ll show related recipes – “Red Braised Pork” suggests “Orange and Milk Braised Pork Carnitas”, “Sukiyaki Ginger Pork”, “Brown Sugar Bourbon Apple Pork Chops”

* supports searching through linked content (youtube subtitles, descriptions, comments section). Just drop a link and it’ll be searchable!
