If you add “cooked.wiki/“ to beginning of ANY recipe url (before the https:/) it strips away everything but the recipe and organizes the ingredients and method into separate columns.
@Maxton For anyone interested, here is a bookmarklet (a bookmark where the url is Javascript) that will, once clicked, automatically direct what ever recipe page you are on to cooked.wiki.
@OskarImKeller@NatureMC@Maxton I'm assuming non-AI.
Should be quite easily done* by just checking the json file associated with the recipe page for items tagged with "recipeIngredient" and "recipeInstructions"** and showing just them. Could probably be done as a browser plugin too :)
easy for someone who knows what they're doing, e.g. not necessarily me
** these are standard items from http://schema.org in the Recipe and NewsArticle categories.
@Mabande@NatureMC@Maxton Thanks for the explanation - that would mean it only works for pages that are using these conventions. If I am just typing a recipe as a WordPress blog post it wouldn't work then - or am I misunderstanding something here?
@OskarImKeller@NatureMC@Maxton Exactly right!
But they might have some other tricks up their sleeve to solve that issue (I only checked a couple of recipes people had linked in the comments) :)
It wouldn't be hard to scrape the formatted text even; there are clues like the link for "jump to recipe", and of course, the headers for "recipe" and "ingredients". I've written scrapers before and for sites that follow any sort of format it's pretty easy.
That being said, this is the web hack that I really needed!
@cursedsql@Juicyfranck@Mabande@OskarImKeller@Maxton Thank you very much to all who answered here! I learnt a lot of new stuff I didn't know before.
This I love on Mastodon: There's always someone who can answer curious questions.😊
@Mabande@OskarImKeller@NatureMC@Maxton yes, there’s a standard for recipe information embedded in websites. i assume cooked.wiki just scrapes this and displays it. There’s also Tandoor on Github which scrapes these data and adds it to a local recipe database, if you’re interested in that.
@dirksteins@Mabande@NatureMC@Maxton
Tandoor sounds interesting. Does it just take the recipe, or will it keep a reference to the source as well?
Then I only need a function to automate my comments on recipes (possible substitute ingredients, changes to measurements or cooking temperatures or times) 😋
