YumML, use YumML, not XML |
Yet Another Recipe Metadata Language - you know, for food. |

food yumml |
I won't beat around the bush - existing metadata formats for food recipes suck. Alone that would be my typical bold/arrogant claim, so I present my findings on five different formats (RecipeML, Recipe Exchange Markup Language, CookML and RecipeBook XML) to backup that statement, and then my proposed format. There was a sixth format I was looking into - MealMaster - but the recipe structure doesn't seem to be defined anywhere and as far as I know the only program to use it is MealMaster itself.
