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. Please edit as you see fit.

Suggested fields for inclusion

Excerpted from Conor Bandon's Blog 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)
• Creator (Person) (hcard?)
• Source (Book Title etc)
  • could use hcite
• Date (Of Creation or Publication)
