allrecipes

https://www.allrecipes.com/

One of the most popular recipe websites. It seems like everything is visible when you inspect and view the HTML/CSS, so we could scrape it that way.

USDA FoodData Central API

https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/api-guide.html

A database of nutrition facts for specific ingredients maintained by the USDA. Access is free with an email signup, and API keys can make 3,600 requests/hour. Includes nutrition facts if you request a specific food ID.

Food Network

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes

While it's also a TV network site, it has a section dedicated to food recipes. Looks like it would be easy to scrape the info from the HTML/CSS, but recipes seem to be in collections and not in just a long list. There's no nutritional information though.

Bon Apetit

https://www.bonappetit.com/recipes

All kinds of recipes, and you can get every one on that recipe page. Just have to keep pressing the "more recipes" button to get them all which could add some overhead getting thousands of recipes from them, but at least they're all in one place

Many types of recipes that include a rating scale, and also a make it again scale. They can be filtered by healthy and other tags so there is a tagging system that we could filter by as well.
