I'm thinking in build a iPhone app for get recipes. So, I'm looking for resources where I can get the data of that recipes in a way I can use in my app, store locally and/or query.

I'm interested in get nutrition facts, photos, etc... I understand that maybe I need to collect the data from several sources (like flickr photos?), but any starting point will be very useful.
