What This Skill Does
Searches and browses 9,000+ Gousto recipes from the command line using a local cache for instant search and the official Gousto API for full recipe details. Requires building a local cache on first use, then supports fast keyword searches and per-recipe lookups with ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Local cache makes recipe search instant without hitting the API on every query, while still fetching live full-recipe data when needed.
When to use it
- Finding a specific Gousto recipe by ingredient
- Looking up cooking steps for a meal kit
- Checking prep time before choosing a recipe
- Browsing chicken or beef recipes by keyword
- Fetching nutritional info for a Gousto dish
