Use natural language in the query to describe what you are looking for — cuisine, style, main ingredient, occasion, or mood all work well. Norwegian and English are both supported natively. Examples: 'quick Italian pasta for weeknight dinner' 'Swedish meatballs with gravy' 'healthy high-protein chicken bowl' 'easy chocolate cake for beginners' 'something with salmon and lemon' 'Indian curry chicken' 'traditional Norwegian kjøttkaker' 'hurtig pasta med kylling' 'enkel sjokoladekake' Args: query: What you are looking for — describe the dish, cuisine, main ingredient, cooking style or mood freely. Any language is supported. diet: Optional — filter by dietary requirement: 'vegetarian', 'vegan', 'gluten-free', 'dairy-free', 'low-carb', 'keto', 'paleo' max_minutes: Optional — maximum total time in minutes, e.g. 30 difficulty: Optional — 'easy', 'medium' or 'hard' servings: Optional — not used for filtering (servings vary), but include in query for scaling context, e.g. 'pasta dish for 6 people' limit: Number of results to return after reranking (default 5, max 20) Returns: List of recipes ranked by relevance. Each result includes rerank_score, rrf_score (hybrid fusion), title, total_time, difficulty, diet labels, ingredients, instructions, nutrition, rating, and source URL context.
