HowToCook is an open‑source, community‑maintained collection of cooking recipes presented as a searchable web application. It can be self‑hosted via Docker or accessed through the public website.

Use cases

• search for a Chinese stir‑fried noodle recipe by ingredient
• browse step‑by‑step cooking instructions for Mapo Tofu
• self‑host a personal recipe website on a home server
• contribute a new dish or improve an existing recipe via GitHub
• translate recipes into my native language using the built‑in AI translation

When to choose

• You need a free, open‑source recipe database that you can host yourself.
• You prefer community‑driven content with the ability to edit recipes via GitHub.
• You want AI‑generated translations of recipes into multiple languages.

When to avoid

• You require professionally curated or copyrighted recipe collections.
