More information

[dcrobertson01]

Hi - is there anywhere we can get some more information? eg Software that supports the format? Sources of recipes in the format? Best ways to create/edit recipes?

Also - there is another format on schema.org for recipes (https://schema.org/Recipe) which seems to me to lack flexibility. For example, it has a 'recipeIngredient' element that is just text - 3/4 cup of sugar. Which would make converting between grams, ounces, cups, etc somewhat difficult.

Also it does not support different yields, as open recipe format does.

But is does support importing other schema - such as a format for 'creativeWork' and 'howTo'. For me, that seems a little excessive, but I can see it could be useful.

Anyway - this format would suit me - but the schema org format seems to be better supported. Jamie Oliver's site, for example, has the recipes in that format (it is in the source).

Jamie Oliver goes on about using sustainable sources and then wraps everything in cling film and other plastics. Sigh.

Hi @dcrobertson01. I appreciate your interest in OpenRecipeFormat. So far as I know, there is no software that currently supports it, and the only public examples are here. I have a few of my own in the format, but I'm not in a position to post them at the moment.

It's unfortunate that the current standards are still that sloppy. I'm looking into JSON-LD recipes for inspiration for ORF. It has the same issue, but I otherwise like its organization. There's a number of websites that use it, such as https://www.foodnetwork.com/, https://geniuskitchen.com/, and https://www.marthastewart.com/. Their spec is at https://jsonld.com/recipe/.
