RecipeMD

A standard format for recipes as Markdown files and a python reference implementation. The reference implementation can be used as a CLI program and as a python library.

Quick Start

  1. Install the tool: pip install recipemd (optionally you can also install shell completions)

  2. Look at some example recipes or start with a recipe template to create your own recipes

  3. Learn how to use the CLI tool with some example calls

Specification

We provide a specification for RecipeMD so other tools can use the format. The specification also comes with a set of test cases.

Contributing

You can use recipemd-extract to fetch and extract recipes from the web. We also maintain a list of recommended tools that work nicely with RecipeMD recipes.
