Good morning, here is a template that I have finished for cooking recipes. It is made up of 2 parts. On the one hand, there is the template that is invoked from templater, which is housed in the templates folder.
On the other hand, I have a script that is hosted in another folder called scripts, which is a normal note, and that the template invokes when executed
tp.recipes.md (1.4 KB)
scr.categories.md (909 Bytes)
I am working on more scripts that are invoked in this template and make filling it in easier and faster.

I love it!
I’d love to see some more of your work, or even a vault template!
Thanks for this, something to ponder about 
Thank you, I appreciate it, I’m improving a couple more crypts, and as soon as I finish I will try to upload a clean vault with the kitchen, contacts and travel templates, which are the 3 that I have used as practice and then create my structure for my brain. digital

That sure would be apreciated greatly!
Thought this might be helpful. I found a couple DataView queries from the DataView documentation that are pretty cool for finding related/similar recipes. You would need to insert each ingredient into the Properties section though.
I had ChatGPT come up with a list of about 300 commonly used ingredients, added the list as a single note to my vault, and I use the Metadata Menu plugin so I can select multiple ingredients from that list whenever I create a new recipe.
Then, the DataView queries search for any other recipes that share the same ingredient(s) as the current recipe.
Here are a couple screenshots of it and a picture of the metadata I use and the actual queries:
TABLE
rows.ings AS "Shared Ingredients"
FROM #🍽️/recipe
WHERE ingredients
FLATTEN ingredients as ings
WHERE contains(this.ingredients, ings) AND file.name != this.file.name
GROUP BY file.link AS Recipes
TABLE WITHOUT ID
ings AS "Shared Ingredient",
count AS "Recipe Count",
rows.file.link AS "Recipes"
FROM #🍽️/recipe
WHERE ingredients
FLATTEN ingredients as ings
WHERE contains(this.ingredients, ings) AND file.name != this.file.name
GROUP BY ings
FLATTEN length(rows.file.link) as count
The way you’ve organized it into two parts is really clever and practical. Having the template and script separated but working together seamlessly is a smart move for efficiency. I also appreciate how you’re thinking ahead and considering adding more scripts to streamline the process even further.
As I was exploring the template, I thought adding some visual cues like color coding could enhance its usability. Just a small suggestion to make it even more user-friendly.
On another note, I gave that pico de gallo recipe a try last night, and it was a hit! Thanks for sharing it alongside the template. It’s clear you’re dedicated to making kitchen tasks easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
