## Machine-readable recipes

- [Recipe feed](https://textualchef.com/recipes.json): one JSON index of
  every published recipe (name, cuisine, course, diets, restrictions,
  times, servings, calories, dates), each entry linking its HTML page
  (url) and a clean plain-text markdown version (text). Regenerated on
  every deploy, so new recipes appear automatically.
- Plain-text version of any recipe: append `recipe.md` to its page URL,
  e.g. https://textualchef.com/recipes/spanish-gazpacho/recipe.md
- [Recipe sitemap](https://textualchef.com/sitemap-recipes.xml): every
  recipe and hub URL with last-modified dates
