Search text "sourdough" came back with "{isErr=True}" and no results after a few minutes. Clearly, it's a bit rough around the edges yet.

Suet works. I wonder why it's so slow though, written by archivists?

I have a Jello cookbook monstrosity that could add some curveballs in there.

When I figure out how to work this thing it’s gonna be awesome
mendrak
All I see is database entries about the book and not the book itself.
TheoFromSteam
Same. It doesn't appear to be a functional webapp as a recipe lookup. you can pull bits of data out but that's it

"Cook fome onion. When it is cookt add nutmeg and a little beef. Cook until cookt" I seen enough Jas Townsend to know how this turns out

Townsends: We're gonna need more nutmeg

Let’s go ahead and just take out all those disgusting jello plus meat or vegetable molds from the 50s and 60s.
wheresmybanana
Got that 1000 year old bread recipe?
Bubbells
Please tell me it has THE French cooking book? You know the one that tells you the guidelines but everyone makes it different
Sneemaster
I'm not sure I should trust a cookbook that old. They'll tell me to put in 2 cups of asbestos or something.

Source is "The Way of the Househusband"

It's funny because husband is already "house bound".
BigKumaDM
no its funny because hes an ex-yakuza badass that gave up the life because he fell in love but never gave up the mannerisms. I love it.

I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT TELEPORT BREAD FOR THREE DAYS!

Do they have the Donner dinner Party manual?

I literally have a favorites folder named "Favorgotten". I don't remember the last time I actually looked at it.
pizzaparty
Fascinating! I'm reading one from 1840 that suggests spoonfuls of snow instead of eggs in pancakes. And making pie crust dough from a roux!

What about the Anarchist Cookbook, is it there as well?

“It does not contain the text of the book or recipes...”
bekkayya
okay but a collection of cookbooks isnt USEFUL. I need the data organized and referenced. Make a wikipedia of recipes

No, finger prince
DukeDarkwood
I don't think so.

Jesus christ is that as dirty as I think it is? The shit they got away with in the 90s lol

Hopefully we don't have to read 500 pages of the history and life story of meals and people who created the recipe.
BreakingBean
Why do you think it took the author 50 years to make? Had to sort through all the shit
jonlememe
I think you are thinking of a YouTuber...
WeirdStealth
Oh no, every time I search for recipes, I spend more time trying to find the recipe in the book's worth of store before the recipe.
youreablurb
And a million pop-up ads
koflan
You can still see life story? I just see ads.
thesauceisboss
It’s the sifter not the Pinter.
justarocknroller
No, but a lot of older recipes are written in prose rather then a list format, which can be a pain
CaptainSkyhawk
"take thee a small amount of fine dough prepared in the usual manner and prepare it, then cook in softly fading oven until proper. nutmeg"
THEYARDGOAT
Isn't the family history the best part
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
No. No it’s not. -_- (j/k)
byohzzrd
Fuck no. Old recipes are "one can lard, fry meat in it. Enjoy!"
ImplodingPumpkin
Someone doesn't keep up with Townsend.
MomJokes
I get the joke. But as a history lover I would read the hell out of those
WeirdStealth
Don't get me wrong, some of the history for things is great, but I like being able to just get the recipe, not the tale.

Have you watched "A Taste of History"?

I use a recipe app. If something looks good, I copy and paste the url, it goes in and strips the raw recipe right out.

Recipe keeper.
catsandmuffins
What? That's fantastic, what app is it?
Pmooreh
I went and searched for an app that did that after reading that. i found My Recipe Box by CmonApp. This is freaking awesome.
servingmytimeinusersub
Haven't tried that but have been using recipe keeper for maybe a year and love it.
servingmytimeinusersub
Recipe keeper. It's free for like 20 recipes, then like 5 bucks. I cook and bake so was totally worth it to me.
WeirdStealth
Hell yeah! That is super useful!
upsidedownjackrussell
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing! Can you add your own recipes too?
servingmytimeinusersub
Yep. Can make custom ones and with a little fiddling, can scan recipes from other hard copies.
