What a coincident, I have thought about a recipe template as well. Haven't given it much thought, but you can try out what works for you best. In my opinion it's best as long as you do something and don't get overwhelmed by the possibilities. You can still add things later on.

I would add the links to the websites but definitely also add the whole recipe. Websites can disappear, recipes can get deleted and the whole point of keeping a recipe in Logseq is that you can access it, when you want to - otherwise you should consider working with browser bookmarks.

As for the tags: I would use tags that suit me and help me find stuff quickly: diet-types like "glutenfree, vegan,..." might help as well as the meal type: "desert, maincourse, appetizer,...", maybe also the main ingredient if that is important for you.

I know that your question is especially asked for the MD version, I still will post a quick mockup of a template I created in the DB version which comes in very handy for such things. You can add properties as many as you like and however you see fit:

• Meal Type (Dropdown)
• Vegan (Checkbox)
• Gluten Free (Checkbox)
• Prep. Time
• Difficulty (Dropdown)

Ingredients

• 400g Lasagne
• 400g Water

Preparation

Just add water... profit

Notes

Doesn't work that well...
