CookLikeHOC is a recipe collection and cooking guide that documents dishes from a Chinese restaurant chain, presented as an interactive web application with Docker support.
The project addresses the problem of preserving and sharing detailed recipes and cooking methods from a specific restaurant's published sourcing reports. It works by compiling recipes from the restaurant's official dish traceability reports, organizing them with text sourced from those reports that has been edited and structured for clarity. The tool provides access to this content through a web interface and supports containerized deployment via Docker.
The project suits anyone interested in learning to cook dishes from this particular restaurant or exploring its menu documentation. It is not an official repository of the restaurant itself, and contributors are consumers and enthusiasts rather than official staff. The project maintains a clear separation from unaffiliated websites that may use similar names, with the official web presence hosted at a specific domain that explicitly avoids tracking, advertising, and commercial practices.
The project has established a web interface for browsing recipes and welcomes community contributions of photographs. Development has incorporated Docker support through community contributions and has expanded to include AI-generated illustrated versions of recipes alongside the original documentation. The team continues to add new dishes as they appear in updated official sourcing reports, with the core repository work completed and ongoing maintenance focused on community contributions and supplementary content.
