About:
cookcli is a command-line interface tool designed to parse, format, and manage cooking recipes written in the Cooklang markup language. It allows developers and home cooks to treat recipes as code, enabling version control and automation. The tool provides utilities for converting recipes into various formats like JSON or Markdown for easy integration into digital workflows.
Key Features:
  • Parses Cooklang syntax into structured data (JSON)
  • Supports recipe scaling and unit conversion
  • Generates shopping lists based on recipe ingredients
  • Cross-platform CLI written in Rust
Use Cases:
  • Managing a personal recipe database in a Git repository
  • Generating automated shopping lists from weekly meal plans
  • Integrating recipe data into static site generators or personal blogs
Alternatives:
  • k Cookbook – A GUI-based recipe manager, whereas cookcli is strictly CLI-focused for automation.
  • Paprika – A commercial app with sync features, lacking the code-centric approach of cookcli.
