XiaChuFang Recipe Corpus

The recipes are from 下厨房 (XiaChuFang), a popular Chinese recipe sharing website. The corpus is constructed with recipes published before 2020 December.

We provide both the finetuning recipe corpus for training models on our task, and the full recipe corpus for further research on Chinese recipes.

The full recipe corpus contains 1,520,327 Chinese recipes. Among them, 1,242,206 recipes belong to 30,060 dishes. A dish has 41.3 recipes on average.

The average length of a recipe is 224 characters. The maximum length is 62,722 characters, and the minimum length is 10 characters.

The recipes are contributed by 415,272 authors. Among them, the most productive author uploads 5,394 recipes. We provide the desensitized author information.

As this corpus is used for finetuning in our task, it does not contain recipes related to the dishes involved in evaluation.

The data format is the same as the full corpus.
