This is interesting. A year or two ago I tried creating my own web application [1] for cataloguing recipes. It involved creating a parser in Elm [2] that could handle JSON generated by org mode files (where I stored the recipes). It was far too convoluted - but it gave me some of the features that I wanted - simple pages with recipes, with hover-to-see-quantities, as well as a cooking timer. If I was to do it again, I might investigate using something like cooklang to see if I can get the same functionality out of it.
