Finding the right recipe
How are the recipes organised?
Recipes carry three independent labels: the kind of dish it is, its dietary properties, and the season it suits. Collections such as Under 30 minutes combine those with stated cooking time.
Are the cooking times reliable?
Times are the stated total including preparation, taken from the recipe itself. Where a recipe does not state a total, it is left out of the time-based collections rather than estimated.
Can I filter by dietary need?
Yes. Plant-forward gathers every vegetarian recipe, and each recipe page lists its full dietary properties alongside the complete ingredient list.
