Turn recipes into markdown files!

RecipeParser

My Recipes

About

A python script that parses recipe websites to create markdown files with essential recipe information, like ingredients, instructions, and a photo of course! I made this so I can keep all of my favorite recipes organized in a psuedo recipe book.

Dependencies

Python == 3.4.3

BeautifulSoup4 (pip install bs4)

Supported Recipe Websites

• Food52

• AllRecipes

• Food.com

Usage

file: A text file containing recipe urls from the supported websites

file = "/Users/brooke/Desktop/recipes.txt"

if main(file):
    print("Success")
else:
    print("Not all markdown files were generated")

If generating the markdown files is a success you will see a success message, otherwise you'll see which markdown files weren't generated and the corresponding error messages.
