world.food is a collaborative recipe platform ("Wikipedia for food"). Search and read recipes freely. To create, edit, or fork recipes you need a world.food account token sent as an "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header (get one from POST /api/auth/token). Every write is a public, attributed revision — search before creating, prefer forks over duplicates, and write clear edit summaries. Full API docs: https://world.food/api/docs
