About Flavor By Design

Flavor By Design started with a simple idea: the best recipes deserve a permanent home. Not buried in a cookbook you forgot you owned, not lost in a screenshot from three phones ago — a real, searchable, always-there collection you can count on.

What began as a personal recipe archive has grown into a library of over 11,000 recipes spanning cuisines from around the world. Every recipe has been extracted, cleaned, and categorized so you can find exactly what you're looking for — whether that's a quick weeknight chicken dinner or a weekend project like homemade pasta from scratch.

How It Works

Browse by cuisine, protein, meal type, difficulty, or cooking time. When you find recipes you like, add them to your shopping list — the site automatically combines and deduplicates ingredients across all your selected recipes into one clean grocery list. Adjust servings per recipe and the quantities scale automatically.

What's Coming

Flavor By Design is growing. The recipe collection continues to expand, and there's an Android app in the works that lets you swipe through recipes, build meal plans, and generate shopping lists on the go. A printed cookbook is also in development, featuring the best original recipes from the collection.

This project is built and maintained by Charles Bonetti — a developer, home cook, and firm believer that good food should be accessible to everyone. The site is free, ad-free, and always will be.
