## What it is
A community-driven open-source cookbook that teaches programmers how to cook at home with precise, structured recipes written in Markdown. It includes a self-hostable web viewer (Docker image) with search, multilingual AI translation, and hundreds of Chinese home-style recipes.

## Use cases

- find a recipe by ingredient or dish name
- self-host a recipe website with Docker
- contribute recipes to an open-source cookbook
- follow beginner-friendly step-by-step cooking instructions
- browse recipes in my native language

## When to choose
- you want precise, programmer-friendly recipe formatting
- you want a free, public-domain recipe collection you can fork or self-host
