Usage

All commands are available via the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P):

Import recipe from URL

Vault Recipe: Import recipe from URL

Opens a dialog where you paste a recipe URL. The plugin fetches the page, extracts the recipe via AI, translates it to German, converts imperial to metric units, and saves it as a note in your recipe folder.

Scale recipe servings

Vault Recipe: Scale recipe servings

(Editor command — requires an open recipe note)

Reads the current servings from frontmatter and lets you choose a new serving count. All ingredient quantities are recalculated by AI.

Generate recipe overview

Vault Recipe: Generate recipe overview

Scans your recipe folder and generates (or updates) an overview note with links and metadata for all recipes.

Network Disclosure

This plugin makes network requests to external AI APIs to process recipes. Depending on your chosen provider, data is sent to:

• OpenAI (api.openai.com)
• Anthropic (api.anthropic.com)
• Google (generativelanguage.googleapis.com)

Recipe URLs are fetched directly to extract their content. No data is collected or stored by the plugin itself — all processing happens via the configured AI provider.
