# Recipes for Engineers
Store recipes in a nerdy JSON tree format and use that to generate [Cooking for Engineers]()-style tabular recipe cards in HTML.
Right now this project is just a set of scripts.
## `make_tree.py`
This is a fairly naive script that walks you through the process of turning a recipe into a tree structure. It has you list out ingredients, and then add tasks to perform on those ingredients. You end up with a tree that is something like this:
```
shake and grill for 20 more mins
+-- grill for 20 mins
+-- wrap in foil
+-- season to taste
|-- salt and pepper
|-- dice
| |-- rosemary
| |-- thyme
| +-- basil
+-- lightly coat
|-- olive oil
+-- chop into quarters
+-- red potatoes
```
Leaves are raw ingredients, other nodes are tasks. The tree is output to a JSON file.
## `output_html.py`
This script takes that JSON file and does a recursive depth-first search to render an HTML-table-based recipe card.
