Nice site!

I don't think I can offer much of an API. As I mentioned in another comment, I gave up on trying to parse a free-text recipe. I avoid a lot of headache by directing users to enter ingredients from the database list only.

That being said, I'm open to talk about it - see my HN profile for email.

I like your imadefood site. Reminds me of a kind of jsfiddle for recipies.

edit: @phugold - I like the idea of your site, but you might want to take note of the ability to immediately see recipies without having to register. It's great to be able to just dive right in rather than hitting a wall requiring login.

Thank you! Someone also mentioned "github for recipes" as well. A bit more simplistic than that, but I'll take it! :)

Well, you wouldn't be parsing free-text recipes. You'd a accept a standard JSON format, do your processing, and respond back. Just a thought.
