About
Explore over 2,500 recipes sourced from Reddit's popular "recipes" subreddit. This text-based dataset captures a wide range of culinary discussions, instructions, and user-shared knowledge from a community of over 175 million users. Each row represents a single recipe post, offering detailed information such as the recipe content, post title, publication date, and user engagement metrics. The dataset is ideal for text mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, enabling analysis of popular ingredients, cuisines, and recipe types shared by Reddit users. Note that not every entry is a direct recipe; some may be discussions or comments about recipes.
