TL;DR – Plain Fit Recipes
This is not an original thought, but I’m tired of recipe websites having stories about how the author once took a 4-day ayahuasca trip in Bolivia and woke up in a hotel room with a crying baby and a recipe for the world’s best guacamole tattooed on their arm. I’m also tired of recipe websites having 30 megabytes of trackers, ads, popups, and newsletter toast messages in the corner that, at best, slow the load time of the website down, and at worst make the website near unusable on mobile.
This is also not an original thought to create a minimalist recipe website. justtherecipe.com for example, allows you to paste a recipe URL into the text field, and automatically crawls the site and gives you exactly what you want. The ingredients, directions, and servings. Furthermore, the idea of creating a recipe site that doesn’t have all the garbage on it is not an original idea either, in fact, my own recipe website uses code from another person with the same idea: Based Cooking.
So why make my own?
Well, honestly I just wanted a better place to keep all my recipes that I could access from any device that had a web browser, and share with my friends and family more easily. And, as someone who tracks calories/macros, sites like Based Cooking lack exact measurements and nutritional information. So this is my solution for these problems that I have.
I curate, write, and calculate all of these recipes myself (they are not all my own, but I fill in the gaps and give credit to the original authors if there are any). This allows me to provide recipes from all over the web, the minds of my friends, family, and myself that meet my criteria of being nutritious and delicious. So come check out the site! As of the time of this article it’s still in its infancy, but I will be adding new recipes often when I find ones I like.
