Build Status

A simple static Jekyll site for keeping track of recipes. This is my first major Jekyll project, so it might be a little messy. This project is a work in progress.

Usage

Ensure that you have Git, Ruby and RubyGems installed.

Assuming a Unix system:

$ git clone https://git.bune.city/lynnesbian/recipe-site
$ cd recipe-site
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll build

This will compile the website into the _site directory, which you may serve with any HTTP server. It is necessary to re-run bundle exec jekyll build after any modifications.

Alternatively, you can use jekyll's built in server for testing:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

The built in server will automatically regenerate the _site output whenever you make a change.

However, there won't be much to look at until you add some recipes!

Recipe file format

Recipes are found in _recipes/, with subrecipes located in _subrecipes/.

Here's an example recipe, which could be saved to _recipes/chocolate_cake.yml:

---
name: Chocolate cake
author: Jane Crocker

ingredients:
- [1, egg, null]
- [2, butter, sticks]
- [2, flour, cups]
# et cetera
method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Whisk the egg finely
# et cetera
time: 240
---
  • name (string) - The displayed name of the recipe. Does not appear in the URL.
  • author (string, optional) - The author of the recipe.
  • ingredients (list) - Each entry in ingredients is an array consisting of up to four items:
    • amount (number or array) - The amount of this item to add, e.g. 2 for 2 cups of flour. If this is 0, the output will be e.g. "jalepeño chillis to taste" rather than "0 jalepeño chillis". If this in an array, it will be printed as amount[0] to amount[1]. For example, if you wanted to say "2 to 3 cups of peas", you would write [[2, 3], peas, cups].
    • ingredient name (string) - The name of the ingredient, e.g. flour for 2 cups of flour.
    • unit terminology (string, optional) - The unit that amount refers to, e.g. cups for 2 cups of flour. If left blank or null, as in [1, egg], the output will simply be "1 egg".
    • optional (boolean, optional) - Whether or not this ingredient is optional. The ingredient [1, chocolate egg, null, true] produces "1 chocolate egg" and marks is as optional. Defaults to false.
  • method (list) - A list of steps undertaken to create the recipe, written in plain English. Or whatever language you prefer.
  • time (string, optional) - The time it takes to make the recipe in minutes.

The recipe's file name isn't important, but it's good practice to make it something obvious, like chocolate_cake.md and not strawberry_pie.md.

The recipe files are standard YAML. Every recipe must begin and end with three dashes to ensure that Jekyll processes it.

Good:

---
name: Example
---

Bad:

name: Example

Subrecipes

Subrecipes behave a little differently to regular recipes:

  • They don't show up on the home page
  • The time tag is not supported

Subrecipes have a tag that regular recipes do not - the parents tag. This is a list of recipes that the subrecipe should be included in. For example:

---
name: Chocolate icing
parents:
- chocolate_cake
- chocolate_cupcakes
ingredients:
- [250, chocolate, grams]
# et cetera
---

The entries in parents refer to the filenames of the parent recipes - chocolate_cake refers to chocolate_cake.md.

If a subrecipe does not have at least one valid parents entry, it will not appear anywhere on the website.
