Cookbook Release — 2026.3.21

Date: 2026-03-21 Repo: cal/cookbook on git.manticorum.com

Release Summary

New personal cookbook project using markdown files with YAML frontmatter. Designed around Cal's preference for low-effort meals and short ingredient lists. Includes an interactive grocery list generator served as a single HTML page.

Changes

New Features

  • Recipe format — markdown with YAML frontmatter using three-tier ingredient system: ingredients (must buy), optional (nice to have), pantry (already on hand)
  • 5 starter recipes — spaghetti, chicken stir fry, breakfast for dinner, boxed pancakes, upgraded ramen
  • Grocery list generator (grocery.html) — single-page HTML app that combines ingredients across selected recipes, renders interactive checklist with localStorage persistence, mobile-friendly
  • Serve script (serve.sh) — quick bash script to spin up HTTP server for network access to the grocery list
  • Dietary taggingcontains-lactose tag rule for household lactose intolerance; recipes with dairy allowed but must be tagged

Format Decisions

  • effort field (low/medium/high) for filtering by cooking motivation
  • optional section keeps core ingredient list short while preserving variation ideas
  • pantry section separates staples (salt, pepper, oil) from shopping items
  • Kebab-case filenames, concise step instructions
