What is (Not)Recipes?

(Not)Recipes is a free, open-source web application that takes a unique approach to inspiring home cooks to get creative in the kitchen. Rather than providing full recipes to follow step-by-step, (Not)Recipes generates randomized combinations of ingredients that you can use as starting points or sparks of inspiration for creating your own recipes.

Here's how it works: You select categories of ingredients that sound good to you - for example, proteins like chicken or beans, veggies like broccoli or spinach, grains like pasta or rice, etc. (Not)Recipes will then randomly generate a list of ingredients for you to try mixing together into a dish. You can reroll or tweak the ingredients until you get an appealing combination.

From there, you can start experimenting with different cooking methods and seasonings until you land on a recipe that excites your tastebuds. As you work, you can save your recipe creations and notes within the app. Over time, you build up a database of your own unique, homemade recipes.

The end goal of (Not)Recipes is to break free from simply following recipes and get people exploring their creative potential in the kitchen. For adventurous home cooks who want to start improvising and stop relying solely on recipes, it's an incredibly helpful spark of inspiration.
