I've seen this site. It's a great proof of concept, and it works perfectly well for what the developer wanted to highlight - it loads amazingly fast and there's no bullshit. It's just not a good cooking site for unrelated reasons, I'll give you guys some examples:

  • Lack of synonyms; e.g. barszcz/borscht, cuque/cuca.
  • That bloody weird obsession to tie cuisines with governments=countries, even when it doesn't make much sense.
  • Barely any variations listed. And even if there was, ingredient-based tagging can quickly become a mess if you enable this.
