Foodlang is a tiny, readable recipe language. Write a recipe like a little script — then compile it to coffee machines, robots, industrial systems, and the web.

preinfuse coffee { pressure 2 bar; flow 2 mlps; time 6 s }
brew coffee to shot { pressure 9 bar; stop 40 g; max 28 s }

Export a friendly, app-compatible Cooklang version for cooks to read and follow.
Cooklang export →Publish recipes as Schema.org Recipe JSON-LD for rich results on the web.
Web publishing →Map to OPC UA, Home Connect, MQTT, and Matter — payloads ready for your driver.
Appliance automation →Generate action graphs, PDDL domains, and FOON functional units for planners.
Robot planning →Express recipes as ISA-88/S88-style batch procedures of operations and phases.
Industrial batch →Validate, inspect, and compile from the terminal or embed the TypeScript library.
Explore the CLI →Normal recipes describe ingredients and human steps. Foodlang adds the missing layer — culinary transformations — that makes a recipe executable.
Typed inputs in known states become typed outputs in new states. That transformation graph is the bridge between a human recipe and a machine that can run it.
Read the philosophycoffee grounds + hot water → espresso
cold milk → steamed milk + microfoam
onion:whole → onion:diced → onion:sautéed
dough:raw → bread:bakedEvery target declares its fidelity, so you always know whether the output is directly usable, a mapping, or illustrative. Foodlang refuses to overpromise.
Web-ready recipe structured data.
Base recipe with X-foodlang stripped.
Recipe-parameter writes + StartRecipe.
Topic + command payload.
DAG of dependent actions.
Operations and ordered phases.
Human-friendly, lossy export.
Planner-compatible domain + problem.
Functional object-oriented network.
Appliance program mapping.
Future-compatible device mapping.
Foodlang grades every recipe across seven levels — from human-readable to industrial — reporting pass, partial, or fail, never pretending a mapping is a running machine.
Open the playground and watch a recipe compile to every layer — entirely in your browser.
