That could work @biondanonima, but as @sck pointed out, tags are a mess at the moment.
TLDR: Could we just rename Recipes → “Recipes and Ingredients”? Most Ingredient threads are a combination of usage and recipes anyway.
Longer thoughts below; I don’t mean to overstep - just some thoughts of how to improve our experience, as a heavy (and very appreciative) user of the site.
Thanks!
TAGS:
I ran a pivot from sck’s link: 92% of all 567 existing tags have been used less than 10 times cumulatively (70% only once or twice). There’s also a bunch of overlap and duplicates due to typos (I can help if someone tells me how).

CATEGORIES/TOPICS:
It may be more user-friendly for Cooking Discussions to be segmented slightly differently than it is at the moment.
The biggest category/topic - Cooking, Cookbooks, Ingredients - has a combined 1429 posts. That makes it hard to use (moreso with search seemingly broken at the moment, but even if it was working fine).
Cooking Discussions:
→ Cooking, Cookbooks, ingredients x 1429
→ Cookware x 401
→ Recipes x34
→ Baking, Sweets x200
→ Specific Diets x64
Ingredients could be part of Recipes - most recent Ingredient threads have both usage and recipes.
Based on usage, I would also suggest that (Home) Cooking be a separate category/topic from Cookbooks.
Specific Diets could switch to a tag instead if the concern is too many categories/topics.
Proposed: Cooking Discussions:
→ (Home) Cooking
→ Recipes & Ingredients
→ Cookbooks
→ Cookware x 401
→ Baking, Sweets x200
