Data is available in YAML or JSON, and recipes use the following format specification.
Title of the recipe.
Information about the recipe that would not be considered instructions.

ingredients:
required:

optional:
- mustard
additions:

Instructions on how to make the recipe.
Allows you to specify a category for the recipe.
If the source of the recipe is a book, this allows you to specify the page.
An estimate for the cost to make the recipe. Does not include $, has two decimal places, and the three letter currency abbreviation.
estimate: 2.50 USD
The number of people you can expect to serve with this recipe. This may be a range by using a dash.
serves: 2-4
The number of items that this recipe makes. This may be a range by using a dash. May include a unit (such as cups), but if it makes a number of items, the item should not be used as a unit (for a taco recipe, it makes 4-8 instead of 4-8 tacos)

For fields that contain lists (such as ingredients and instructions), the base list will be added to. Fields that contain values (such as estimate or page) replace the base value.
All data entry takes place in the /recipes/source folder as YAML. The rest of the formats are generated using rake (please use 10.4+), so in order to change them, you need to edit the data in the source YAML, then run rake to regenerate.
I've included a Javascript reference client to help in checking the data, and developing the format. You can view it using rake serve.
