Food Manual: Smart Recipe Recommender by Ingredients & Cookware 110

What is the Cookbook Guide?

This is an open-source online tool developed by a programmer @云游君, which helps users easily prepare delicious dishes at home. The tool was born in April 2022, during the pandemic lockdown period. Its original purpose was to help people find suitable recipes based on the ingredients already available at home during that time. It was initially called "Quarantine Cookbook Guide," and later the word "Quarantine" was removed.

The Cookbook Guide has a very practical feature: it intelligently recommends recipes that can be made based on the ingredients and cookware selected by the user. Each recipe also comes with a teaching video from Bilibili. The recipes are divided into three modes—Fuzzy, Strict, and Survival—making it easier for users to find the option that suits them best.

How to Use the Cookbook Guide

First, you need to visit the tool's website, "食用手册." Then, on the main page, select the ingredients you currently have. Next, the system will automatically recommend recipes you can make. Click on any recipe that interests you to view detailed information. Finally, if you want to follow along with the video to learn how to cook, click the link within the recipe to jump to Bilibili and watch the cooking tutorial video, then follow along.

The Cookbook Guide supports the web version. You can also search for the WeChat public account「云游君」and send「做菜」, and you can quickly find this website. Whether you're using a mobile phone or a desktop device, you can access it smoothly.
