In plain English

CookLikeHOC is a Chinese-language recipe collection project. The name "HOC" stands for "Home Original Chicken," the English name used in China Daily reporting for the popular Chinese restaurant chain Laoxiangji (Old Home Chicken). The project collects and organizes dishes published in the Laoxiangji "Dish Traceability Report," a document detailing the origins and recipes of the restaurant's menu items. The text content is adapted from that official report, with additional editing and organization by contributors. It is not an official repository of the restaurant. The project has a web interface available online and also supports running via Docker. There is also an AI-illustrated version with hand-drawn style images.
