Recipes

A recipe, its shares, its steps

A recipe has a name, an emoji, a description, a share count, ordered steps, and ingredient lines. The share count is what makes the numbers comparable between one recipe and the next.

  • Ordered steps you can rearrange.
  • Ingredients with a quantity and a unit: g, kg, mg, ml, cl, l, spoons, piece.
  • The numbers recompute while you type, before anything is saved.
  • Search by name across your recipes and the community's.

Nutrition

Ten figures, brought back to the share

Figures are stored per 100 g on the ingredient, converted to grams according to the line's unit, summed, then divided by the share count.

  • Calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, sugars, fibre, saturates, sodium, salt, glucose.
  • Millilitres and pieces converted from the mass declared on the ingredient.
  • A per-user macro target, as a share of calories, with three presets.
  • The gap to that target shown in points on every recipe.

Grading

The anti-inflammatory scale

Every ingredient carries a score from −2 to +2, or stays explicitly unscored. A recipe's grade is the mass-weighted mean of those scores, computed over the scored ingredients only.

  • Five letters, A for the highest scores through E for the lowest.
  • Coverage shown: the share of the plate's mass that carries a score.
  • Below 60% coverage, no letter is shown.
  • A score estimated by AI is flagged as unreviewed.

Ingredients

The catalog is the source

A recipe only ever references ingredients that exist. The catalog is therefore the one thing to keep current, and it fills up mostly by import.

  • Search and import from OpenFoodFacts.
  • Barcode scanning from the phone camera.
  • Mass of one millilitre and of one piece, so you can enter volumes or counts.
  • A filter for unscored ingredients, to finish the job in batches.

Shopping

The week in one list

Select recipes, yours or the community's. The list adds each ingredient up across every recipe you ticked.

  • Aggregated per ingredient, in the shopping unit declared on it.
  • Standalone ingredients added outside any recipe.
  • Personal and community recipes mixed in the same list.

The app

Installable, on the phone

AngieRecipes is an installable web app: it goes on the home screen and behaves like a native one, without a store in the way.

  • Installable on iOS and Android from the browser.
  • French interface today; the English catalogue is ready.
  • Built for the phone, because that is where cooking happens.
  • Figures already loaded stay readable offline.
