FREE RECIPE DATABASE

A big database of freely-available recipes in structured JSON format, which can be exported to fit into your favourite meal planning or recipe keeper app. Pick your units, servings, filters and format, then export -- everything happens in this browser tab; the recipe files are downloaded from this site and nothing is uploaded anywhere. This process will take a few minutes.

Units US customary Metric

Number of servings 2 4 6

Some recipes are only available in a single scale--these will be included no matter what. Also, be aware that in Paprika, scaling only impacts the master ingredient list, not ingredient quantities written within steps.

Menu Classic Vegetarian Pescatarian Paleo
Vegan Low Carb Keto

Exports one recipe per family, selecting the closest match to your choice. Want more than one menu? Export them in separate runs. A family with no recipe matching your choice (and avoiding everything checked below) is excluded entirely.

Ingredients to avoid

Eliminates any candidate that violates one or more of the checked restrictions. Unknown restrictions are treated as violating. A family left with nothing that satisfies both Menu and these is excluded entirely.

Formats Original JSON HTML (schema.org) Open Recipe Format (YAML) Paprika Norish (.norishrecipes)

Norish scales servings and converts units itself, which is why units and servings above are single-choice. A recipe whose family has nothing at all at the serving size you picked is still included, at whichever size it does offer (see Menu above) -- true for every format, not just Norish.
