# Based Cooking Website

[https://based.cooking](https://based.cooking)

This is a simple cooking website where users can submit recipes here for credit.
There are no ads, trackers or cookies (unless recipes thereof).

This site is compiled and organized with Hugo, using [this very simple theme](https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/lugo).

## Ways to contribute

- By adding a recipe.
- Make a recipe and take a nice picture of it if no nice picture already
  exists. Submitted images should be small `.webp` files ideally less than 100K
  or so.
- Fix errors in recipes or add minor improvements.

## Rules for submission

- Model submission files after [example.md](example.md). Put them in `content/`.
- Recipes should start with a title, with a single `#`, *on the first line*. No
  empty line at the top, no trailing line at the end. The file needs to be `\n`
  terminated in unix-fashion (if you're on linux you don't need to care, it
  should be automatic).
- File names should be the name of the dish with words separated by hyphens
  (`-`). Not underscores, and definitely not spaces.
- Recipe must be based, i.e. good traditional and substantial food. Nothing
  ironic, meme-tier hyper-sugary, meat-substitute, etc.
- Don't include salt and pepper and other ubiquitous things in the ingredients
  list.

**If you fail to do these things, I will close your submission and you will have to resubmit. I am tired of having to fix more than 50% of submissions.**

You may include a json file with your personal links/donation addresses in
`data/authors/your-name.json`. See mine (`data/authors/luke-smith.json`) for a
model. You can include: `website`, `donate` (general donation link), `email` or
crypto addresses as `btc`, `xmr` and `eth`.

### Tags

Remember to add tags to your recipe, but try to use tags already used by other recipes.

If your recipe contains no meat or dairy, include the `fasting` tag.
If it includes dairy but no milk, include the `cheesefare` tag.

### Images

Images are stored in `/pix`.

Each recipe can have a title image at the top and perhaps several instructional
images as absolutely necessary.

Do not add stock images you found on the internet. Take a good picture yourself
of the actual dish created. If you see a bad or substandard image, you may
submit a better one.

Images should be in `.webp` format and with as small file size as possible. If
you submit an image for say, `chicken-parmesan.md`, it should be added as
`pix/chicken-parmesan.webp`.

If you would like to add additional directional images,
they should be numbered with two digits like: `pix/chicken-parmesan-01.webp`, etc.

Note also that images should have links beginning with a slash in this use
case, i.e. `/pix/...`.
