The Recipe Markup Language
formerly known as DESSERT


The Format for Online Recipe Content.

RecipeML is a format for representing recipes on computer. It is written in the increasingly popular Extensible Markup Language - XML.

If you run a recipe web site, or are creating a software program—on any platform—that works with recipes, then you should consider using RecipeML for coding your recipes! See the FAQs and the new examples for more info.

DESSERT IS NOW RECIPEML

Due to overwhelming consensus, DESSERT has a new name. Starting with version 0.5 the markup language will be called RecipeMLTM. It was felt that for the target community, the new name will better indicate its purpose and prevent unnecessary confusion.
