Consider how best to handle...

Too bad they don't have those sub recipes posted as individual recipes. If they did, a link to the recipe could be substituted for the "ingredient". Since that is not an option, when they say something like "1 recipe Cream Cheese Frosting or one 16-ounce can cream cheese frosting", you could just ignore the text leading up to and including the "or" which would leave you with the actual ingredient. The reader can then choose to track down a recipe for cream cheese frosting or purchase it ready made.

It is definitely a shame that they don't publish these separately. It looks like they might even be reusing some of them across multiple recipes, for example the sauce attached to:

• http://www.bhg.com/recipe/streusel-toasts/
• http://www.bhg.com/recipe/mascarpone-stuffed-french-toast-with-salted-caramel-banana-sauce/.

In any case, thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure how consistently it would work though. For example, look at that streusel toasts recipes where we get lines like:

• 4 1 1/2-inch-thick slices French bread or challah bread
• 2 tablespoons honey or granulated sugar

Any ideas on how to differentiate between basic ingredients like these and ones that come from separate recipes?

And what about the french toast recipe where there is no "or" attached to the sauce?

How about checking to see if the "ingredient" before the "or" matches the "subRecipe__heading" class in the DOM? If there is a match, ignore it.

The no "or" case is more problematic since we don't know the volume or weight of "1 recipe Salted Caramel-Banana Sauce".
