How "substitutes" are supposed to work?

[tmllull]

Hi! I'm starting to migrate my recipes to Tandoor, and I have a question about how the "substitutes" food works. I thought that this option helps to find recipes with this kind of food (substitutes), but I don't know if I understood well.

For example, if I have a recipe that uses "Chicken breast", and I set "Turkey breast" as substitute, if I search recipes with "Turkey breast", should the recipes with "Chicken breast" appear?

What I'm missing?

Thanks!!

Unfortunately no. It will allow you to find recipes that you can "make now" based on the foods you have on hand. It will count a substitute as something on hand.

Your use case is a good enhancement though, I'd submit a feature request.

Oh, I see.

Thanks for your quick response! I hope the use case will help to improve the project, because it's a very powerful tool!

Regards!
