Recipe Helper
An offline cookbook for OpenVoiceOS. Ask for a recipe and OVOS reads you the ingredients and the steps. The skill never goes online for this: the recipes ship with it, taken from the Wikibooks Cookbook.
That makes it handy in the kitchen of a device with no internet at all.
Examples
- "Give me a recipe for pancakes"
- "How do I cook risotto?"
- "Opskrift på banankage"
- "Gib mir ein Rezept für Apfelkuchen"
Recipes included
| Language | Recipes | Source |
|---|---|---|
| English (en-us) | about 3,100 | en.wikibooks.org Cookbook |
| German (de-de) | about 340 | de.wikibooks.org Kochbuch |
| Danish (da-dk) | about 150 | da.wikibooks.org WikiKogebogen |
Other languages (es, fr, it, nl, pt) work if a translate plugin is configured, for example ovos-translate-plugin-nllb, which runs locally. The skill translates the question to English, finds the recipe there and translates the answer back. Only the recipe you asked for is translated.
Install
pip install ovos-skill-recipe-helper
How it answers
- "recipe for X" sentences go to the skill's own intent.
- Other recipe questions are answered through Common Query and a low-priority fallback.
- Both only answer when a real recipe matches, so other sentences pass through untouched.
Credits
The recipes are from Wikibooks, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. See CREDITS.md.
Design notes, data-pipeline details and the reasoning behind the choices are in DEVELOPMENT.md. To rebuild the data, run data/build_data.py.
