  In other recipe news, some devs @nytimes recently released some __VERY__ interesting code that handles unstructured data from the NYTIMES recipe archives:

  CRF Ingredient Phrase Tagger https://github.com/NYTimes/ingredient-phrase-tagger

  I used to work with a lot of recipe data in multiple languages, so this topic remains close to my heart.

  This could be an interesting project to add to the trained data.

  On Tuesday the Guardian reported that the BBC (fondly aka Auntie) would be archiving their recipes, so I quickly scraped the site and wrote a search engine for it.

  Not sure how the site will evolve, if at all, but it was a fun side project!

  Code is here if you want to play: https://github.com/user24/auntiesrecipes
