I was inspired to create this because I've been building my Obisdian Vault and wanted to add recipes to my recipe section. I found that I really enjoyed the recipes from @theremingtonjames and figured I'd try to convert his recipe book to match my recipe template format for Obsidian.

My Recipe Template	RJF's Recipe Example

• Node
• pdf-parse

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

• RJF Cookbook (or ability to adjust code to scrape your cookbook of choice)

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/thopay/recipeScraper.git

2. Install NPM packages

npm install

node index

Place the cookbook in the project directory (rename cookbook to "cookbook.pdf" or adjust code to account for custom file name). Create a folder titled recipes in the project directory. Run the file to generate the markdown files. (Adjust the functions to account for preferred template or formatting to your liking)

• Nothing specific at the moment, but I might work on adding other cookbooks
