TheMealDB

Food & Drink

Look up recipes in TheMealDB, the open, crowd-sourced database of meals from around the world, through its official JSON API. Search by name or first letter, pull a meal's full recipe with its ingredients, measures, instructions, images in three sizes, and video, and browse by category, cuisine, or ingredient (including a 'what can I cook with these' search across up to four ingredients at once). Also lists every category, cuisine, and ingredient with their descriptions and artwork, and serves random, latest, and popular meal picks. Setup is one click: TheMealDB's free test key is used automatically, and supporters can paste their production key to lift the sampling on the premium discovery endpoints.
