Recipe/Ingredient wiki, all in markdown. Everything is searchable. Weekly meal planning is drag & drop from your favourite recipes, and grocery lists are automatically created based on what's in your meal plan, all of it sorted by grocery aisle (produce, meat, dairy, spice aisle, frozen foods, ect). Grocery list is built for mobile, so swipe right off the list once you've grabbed your item. Recipes are all forkable for easy adaptation.
Weird to have gram and cup measurements in the same recipe. Cups are only used in USA as far as I know. "One can" is also assuming a can will be a certain size. Would be better to ensure all items have proper size or weight measurements.
All recipes are submitted by users wiki style, so there's not a huge amount of control there (i do agree with you w/r to cups/grams in the same recipe, don't know how that happens). Anyone can go in and edit them - all history is saved. At some point I need to build in something that will convert them to whatever the user would prefer, but I haven't done that yet.
A wikipedia for food recipes? That is an awesome idea. Everyone has their own version of a dish and trying to find the original version can be challenging. A database listing canonical recipes for well known food items will be useful, if only from a preservation standpoint.
It would be great to record the source for the recipes as well, since encyclopedia is not the original source.
The way I set it up, the ingredients are canonical, the recipes aren't exactly, since you can have so many variations. National food dishes seem like a prime candidate for that though.
