Perhaps my contribution was too cryptic (especially as both PHP and SQL 
are over my computing horizons).

I have been led to believe that it is relatively straightforward to 
create alternative formats for a database; transferring the database 
content from one format to a different one is another story.

The "fooddownunder" database is constructed with Microsoft tools; On the 
other hand, http://www.cuisine.at/ (bilingual - English/German), 
probably uses SQL.

Both have been accessible for many years; each offers a choice of some 
200 000 recipes.

I find it difficult to believe that information on shopping lists and 
nutritional content - missing from the above examples - would warrant 
the labour involved in creating yet another "recipe book".

But I may be mistaken.
