Wow, this is incredibly impressive!

Is there somewhere to report bugs and feedback? It's scraped https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/seitan-black-bean-stir-f... quite well but a few items like "seitanpieces" and "cornflour" did not get recognised. Also, increasing the weight of the seitan is not updating the nutritional values.

I love bugs! I log on the backend all the ingredients or portions I can't parse with a high degree of certainty. Every night, there's a cron job that uses some beefier NLP algorithms to see if we can do better, and recategorizes the new terms as a recognized entity after it passes some threshold. It should be able to learn over time.

I was debating over whether or not to fold in that logic on first encounter, but it's slow and I worry it might affect usability.

Thank you for letting me know about these and your feedback!
