Ask HN: Simple Recipe Search Site?

I remember a while ago a dead-simple recipe search site got posted here, and I’ve lost/forgotten the URL.

I remember it was pasted here on HN because it was some sort of proof-of-concept for a company that provided businesses with quick search software (I want to say it was maybe an example of an Elasticsearch implementation or something like that?)

I remember that it was a mostly blank page with a search box and the results only included the recipes without any of the blog cruft that usually goes along with this stuff.

That’s not what I was thinking about but this might be… even better than what I wanted. Thanks!

Ah, I must have somehow just missed the Typesense link when I was looking for it! This is the one I was thinking about:

I've noticed that GPT works quite good for recipes, try prompt like "Recipe for ..." should give you ingredients and instructions in a simple form.

You can then ask it to prepare a shopping list based on recipe.

Need to check with a human for legibility though if you're not experienced with cooking.

Hi. I made Mehungry app yesterday and shared on Show HN. Try playing around on it and let me know. Sorry in advance if it’s a bit slow!

It’s really simple but I hope you can enjoy it.

It uses gpt-3.

Thx!

Hey, unfortunately it takes a while to get a response from the Open AI api. Sorry about that, please give it some time or try again :')

I just tried it out and it worked for me. Usually it takes 25-30 seconds. Thanks!
