About this project

Open

Solo si TÚ tienes recetas familiares escritas a mano. No proporcionamos recetas.
Only if YOU have handwritten family recipes. We do not provide recipes.

We are collecting 10 real handwritten recipes in english from your own family
(mother, grandmother, aunt…), on cards, paper or a notebook, together with an
exact typed copy of each one. Older handwriting and cursive are a plus.
The material is used ONLY for internal quality checks — it is never published,
sold or shared. Please make sure the writer (or their family) agrees.

what to deliver (one .zip):
1. Photos: one photo per recipe card/page (01.jpg … 10.jpg). Phone is fine:
  from above, daylight, no shadows, the whole card visible. If the card has
  writing on the back, add 01b.jpg.
2. Transcriptions: one .txt per photo (01.txt … 10.txt), letter by letter,
  exactly as written:
  - do not fix spelling, grammar or capital letters.
  - Do NOT add or remove periods, commas, dashes or apostrophes.
  - Keep abbreviations as written: "tsp", "T.", "c.", "Oz", "lb", "pkg".
  - Keep numbers as written: "1/2" stays "1/2", "½" stays "½", "2-3" stays "2-3".
  - Keep line breaks as on the card (one line on the card = one line in the .txt).
  - If you cannot read a word, write [?]. Never guess.
3. Cards.csv with 3 columns: file, writer (mother/grandmother/aunt…), approximate year.
  Example:
  file,writer,year
  01,grandmother,1975

test first: send 2 recipes first (01 + 02) within a few hours. If they follow
the rules above, you continue with the other 8.

Budget: USD 15 for all 10. Delivery: 1 day.

In your proposal, please tell us: whose handwriting it is, the approximate
years, and how many recipes you have. Proposals without this will not be considered.
