Neat idea but, alas, it failed at the first UX hurdle for me - I can't seem to type into the recipe link box. Which makes me think it's broken. I appreciate that pasting works but there's no indication it will.

Then it failed at the second hurdle of parsing https://www.highstreettv.com/pressure-king-pro-chicken-chori... - but that might be down to it being a UK recipe.

Interesting. I haven't personally faced the recipe link box typing issue. Could you tell me which device and OS you're using so I can attempt to reproduce the issue?

It appears to me that the website you linked doesn't use schema.org/Recipe to tag it's data. Hence, the parser didn't work. If it's any consolation, it has nothing to do with it being a UK recipe.

Oh also, thanks for taking the time to try it out! Appreciate the feedback :)
