Convert Recipe

If CookCLI import fails (unsupported site), fall back to manual conversion.

For pasted text or unsupported sites:

1. Extract title
2. Identify servings/yield
3. Parse ingredient list (look for quantities, units)
4. Separate instructions into steps
5. Note any cooking times mentioned
6. Identify required equipment

Step 3: Generate Cooklang

Create properly formatted .cook file:

1. Metadata - YAML frontmatter with extracted info
2. Ingredients - Mark with @ and proper quantity format
3. Cookware - Mark equipment with #
4. Timers - Extract times and mark with ~
5. Steps - One paragraph per step

Step 4: Fill Gaps

Prompt for missing information:

• "The recipe didn't specify servings. How many does it make?"
• "No cooking time mentioned. Approximately how long does it take?"

Step 5: Review and Save

Show the converted recipe and ask:

• "Does this conversion look accurate?"
• "Where should I save it?"

Examples

User: "Convert https://example.com/banana-bread"

Run:

cook import "https://example.com/banana-bread"

If successful, output saved. If not, manual conversion:

User: "Convert this recipe: BANANA BREAD Makes 1 loaf 3 ripe bananas, 1/3 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp baking soda, pinch of salt, 1.5 cups flour Preheat oven to 350F.
