recipe brainstorming
This page is currently a rough draft formed after surveying the recipe-examples and other related formats such as RecipeML and existing microformats.
This page is currently premature, as there first needs to be a recipe-formats page where pre-existing recipe formats are documented (e.g. RecipeML).

Suggested fields for inclusion
Excerpted from Conor Bandon's Blog entry and derived from The RecipeML Spec:
- Recipe_Title
- Summary Description (one liner)
- Measurement System (U.S., Imperial etc)
- Ingredients (each one a separate "item" rather than block text with count/amount/range/unit broken out too)
- Some (e.g. meats, vegetables) could optionally be marked up with (elements of) the proposed species microformat. Andy Mabbett 06:41, 16 Nov 2006 (PST)
- Ingredient importance (e.g. Main, Required, Optional) should be listed as an attribute of each entry. α
- Units need separate microformat: see measure
- Ingredient Preparation: could include it's own microformat: diced, chopped, sliced, grated, minced, etc. Steve Lewis 18:55, 11 Feb 2007 (PST)
- Preparation Time (overall time)
- Yield Quantity and Unit (4 pancakes or 5 servings)
- Calories per serving John LeMasney
- Calories per ounce John LeMasney
- Background Information - Optional section to encapsulate information that is useful but not necessarily required for a successful recipe. α
- Author (Person) (hcard?)
- Suibmitter (Person) (hcard?)
- Source (Book Title etc)
- could use the proposed citation microformat. Andy Mabbett 06:43, 16 Nov 2006 (PST)
- Date (Of Creation or Publication)
- Rights (Copyright or other)
- Meal Category (Starter, entree, dessert )
- Cuisine Category (Italian etc)
- Instructions (text, but can contain:)
- Steps (optional)
- Should be an ordered list Andy Mabbett 14:46, 16 Nov 2006 (PST)
- Another vote for an ordered list, perhaps in the XOXO format. α
- Steps (optional)
- Photo (optional) Cameron Perry
- Could be one per dish, or one for each (or for some of the) step(s). Andy Mabbett
Additional Suggestions
- Difficulty/Notes - Perhaps incorporation of hReview to describe difficulty (using rating) and general comments (review), as an optional field. Frances Berriman
- Suitability (e.g. vegetarian, vegan, wheat-free, etc.). Possibly rel-tag. Andy Mabbett 14:57, 16 Nov 2006 (PST)
Issues
Scope
- Is this intended for only food recipes, or also recipes for, say, glue, paint, dyes and other chemicals? Andy Mabbett 14:53, 16 Nov 2006 (PST)
- +1 Wondered the same. I'd like to see this extended as a general recipe for anything that can be created in a defined way/order, rather than just edible food.Frances Berriman
- Agreed. This format could apply to a set of methods and materials, including cooking, science experiments, craft making, building, etc. - essentially any how-to or tutorial. Cameron Perry
- However, now I view my addition of 'calories per serving' as suspect, ;) though I guess it could still apply, since it's just a unit of energy. John LeMasney
- Recipe for Nitroglycerine (not recommended by Weight Watchers) ? Andy Mabbett 10:43, 1 Feb 2007 (PST)
