Cookbook

A home cook's collection of recipes, organized for modular reuse and experimentation.

Partially inspired by the modular taco philosophy of Tacofancy — break recipes into reusable components, then compose them into full dishes.

Organization

Recipes are organized by category directories:

Directory What goes here
desserts/ Brownies, cakes, pies, cookies, sweets
dinners/ Main dishes and protein-centered meals
from-scratch/ Recreated versions of boxed/premade foods
