cooklang-chef is a CLI to manage cooklang recipes with extensions. Cooklang is a markup language for cooking recipes.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Web UI. The CLI comes with an embedded web UI.
- Scale and convert the quantities.
- Hot reload of recipes. Just edit the .cook file and save.
- Open the .cook file in a code editor.
- Ingredient references. You can now refer to ingredients you already used before. I think the most important extension to the original cooklang.
- Error reporting.
- Units. An ingredient quantity means nothing without a unit. This is why the units are parsed and checked. With units come:
- Unit conversion. You can read your recipe in your preferred unit system.
- Configurable units. You can add, remove and rename units.
