Hi, I really appreciate this project. I've started using Grocy a while ago and after I found out about this addon I've immediately installed it for evaluation.
When I've tried to test import one of the recipes from Kwestia Smaku, it failed. It looks like the scraper doesn't support this particular page, which is totally understandable.
On the other hand, there already is a Python library that handles recipe scraping, and I remembered I had contributed there a while back: https://github.com/hhursev/recipe-scrapers It is used by e.g. Mealie and possibly other similar products. It already has a huge base of recipe pages and is actively developed with help of over 170 contributors.
Have you considered using this library instead of rolling out your own scraper? It is a huge undertaking and nearly impossible to beat or even catch up with 300+ web pages that recipe-scrapers already support.
