Grandma is a web application I made for people to create and store recipes. It's specifically for people who want to write down their own recipes; it's not for linking from other websites.
Can software developers be cooks too? I love cooking, and whenever I see a video or interesting dish idea, I try to jot it down so that I can come back to it and make it myself. So why not just save the link somewhere? Well, a few reasons:
- Most recipe websites are so chock-full of ads and popups that it's a small miracle if you make it to the recipe card. Plus, you have to read the author's entire life story before you get there.
- Part of my love for cooking is not following recipes. Of course, I'll learn which ingredients are more or less necessary, and the approximate cooking method, but from there I like to freestyle. You're never going to catch me measuring tablespoons of salt for my bolognese. So I like to adapt the recipes in my own way.
- Writing a recipe in your own words means you'll probably remember it much better than reading it from a website.
