Smarter Recipes - NYT Cooking Enhancer

About

The NYT Cooking Allergen Checker is a lightweight Chrome extension that enhances your experience on cooking.nytimes.com. It automatically scans recipe ingredients and highlights any of the 9 major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame

Whether you're managing food sensitivities or cooking for someone with allergies, this tool provides fast, clear insight right where you need it — directly above the recipe's "Total Time" section.

Key Features:
- Displays intuitive allergen icons for easy visibility
- Seamlessly integrates with NYT Cooking’s layout
- Parses the recipe's ingredient list in real time
- Uses the ChatGPT API to detect allergens with natural language understanding

Notes:
- Only works on NYT Cooking recipe pages
- Requires a local backend (Flask) to handle API requests
- Users must provide their own OpenAI API key
