There are dozens of variants of this app, here's one built by a friend of mine: http://getrecipecart.com/

Like colpabar said, I think this is somewhat of a problem for experienced cooks but it's not the main issue faced by beginners, nor a big pain point. I believe this is true because I saw at least 20 startups build some version this in 2020-2021 and they mostly perished in the idea maze.



I am not a beginner myself but I would expect it would actually be a much larger pain point for a beginner. If they don't know where to start or what they need to do they may get overwhelmed by some 2000 word essay totally irrelevant to the process. Or get tripped up by extra advanced options listed in there. Just need the ingredients and the steps and maybe links to other instructions. Like if a step is "Dice the onions", link over to a page about dicing.
