[WIP] Community recipe section #257

Closed hendricius closed 8 months ago

hendricius commented 8 months ago

A section for everyone from the community to submit recipes. My dream would be that we at one time have approved recipes from bakers all around the world.

FYI @cedounet what do you think about the structure?

It would also be great if we could have one html file in the end for each recipe. Then this could be linked directly. Right now troubleshooting is one large html file. Would this be possible somehow without creating new chapters?

Hello,

A section for everyone from the community to submit recipes. My dream would be that we at one time have approved recipes from bakers all around the world.

I will sound negative but I do not think this belongs to the sourdough framework… It does belong to bread code no discussion.

What makes this book unique (IMO) is 1) Some theory on what happens and why, really think you did hit the nail on the head by right amount to be useful but not enough to be scary.

2) Great practical advises and de facto hints to what to google for finding the right videos.

3) A few recipes to clarify your point and make the whole thing less dry (pun intended).

I am not sure I am interested in reading about Bob’s bannock recipe in that book so I think it should be limited to a few classics “flat/freestanding/pan-no-knead”. The more you add recipes the harder it will dilute your main messages which is “do not follow Blindly a recipe, use the framwork’s tools to adapt it to your Very own flour/oven/lifestyle”

That being said, having recipes for Irish or Egyptian breads etc on the bread code, then yes i would love it. A separate project I think

FYI @cedounet what do you think about the structure?

I have not compiled it but I know I will not like the typography of it. Given enough time i could likely fix that with a proper LaTeX environment for recipes but still… Which gets me to my 2nd point:

Is the first step too hard to contribute? —- Right now you need to know:

That is scary for a lot of people… even in my nerdy circle of friends. I can only image how bad that would be in the real world.

Shall you move to markdown for the new project? Makes html generation easier, which is were most people likely go to.

That was a long rambling… what do you think?

Best,

Ced

@cedounet Thank you! I totally get your thoughts. I was thinking the same. I'll make a new repo just featuring community recipes :-). I think that's the best choice!
