What problem does it solve?

Converts raw recipe content or a recipe webpage into a clean, fully structured Obsidian note so users avoid manual extraction, unit conversion, and nutrition estimation when saving recipes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Delegates webpage cleaning to a defuddle skill or accepts pasted recipe text, parses title, ingredients, and directions, and extracts metadata such as author, servings, times, and image.
  • Converts ingredient measurements to European metric units (kg/g/ml/l), estimates per-serving macros using a lookup table when needed, classifies cuisine and recipe type, and formats everything into a templated Obsidian note.
  • Use cases: save recipes from blogs into a personal Obsidian vault, standardize family recipes, and generate nutrition summaries per serving for meal planning.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I save a recipe from a website into Obsidian without manual formatting?

To save a recipe from a website into Obsidian, you can use a recipe extraction tool that cleans webpage content, parses ingredients and directions, and formats the data into a structured note. This process automatically handles metadata extraction and applies unit conversion for your vault.

Can I convert recipe ingredient units to metric automatically when creating notes?

Yes, you can convert recipe ingredient units to metric automatically when creating notes. The conversion process changes measurements to European metric units like grams and milliliters, and estimates per-serving macros using a lookup table if nutritional data is missing from the source.

Does the recipe note creation process estimate nutrition and macros per serving?

Yes, the recipe note creation process estimates nutrition and macros per serving. When a recipe source lacks nutritional data, the system uses a lookup table to estimate per-serving macros, allowing you to generate nutrition summaries for meal planning.

How do I structure raw recipe text into a formatted Obsidian note?

To structure raw recipe text into a formatted Obsidian note, you paste the text into the extraction tool. The system parses the required fields like title and ingredients, classifies the cuisine type, and delegates the formatting to produce a clean, templated markdown note.

What do I need in my Obsidian vault to automatically generate recipe notes from URLs?

To automatically generate recipe notes from URLs, you need an Obsidian vault configured with the required markdown and command-line interface plugins. These tools allow the extraction process to clean web content, apply unit conversions, and save the formatted note directly into your vault.
