THINKING ABOUT RECIPE FORMATS MORE THAN ANYONE SHOULD

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This developer considered Cooklang, a recipe markup language, and the Recipe Schema Type, a JSON-LD format used by large recipe sites, for his own recipe site. Cooklang is more simple and flexible, but Schema Type has benefits for SEO and recipe extraction. The developer decided to use a combination of both, rendering Cooklang recipes on his website, providing the raw Cooklang content for download, including the Schema Type for extractors, and using the h-recipe microformat for better semantic markup.
