Feature Request: Syntax for Cooking Methods/Techniques

[messInPlace]

I am building a recipe management application using cooklang-rs, and I have found a need to structure "cooking methods" (e.g., sauté, boil, sous vide) differently from Cookware or Ingredients. Currently, I cannot query my database for "all braised recipes" without text-scraping the instructions.

I would love a specific token to denote a method, similar to @ for ingredients or # for cookware. Perhaps a caret ^?

• Example: Add @potatoes{1%kg}(peeled and diced), -@Cold water{to cover}, and -@kosher salt{to make the water taste of the sea} to a #medium saucepan{3-4 quart}. Bring the pot to a ^boil for ~potatoes{10%minutes} .

I am currently using a namespace convention within the Cookware token (e.g., #^boil) and handling the separation in my application logic, but native support would standardize this across the cooklang ecosystem.

Thanks for the great parser! I'd be happy to test this if implemented.

Posted over on your spec discussion as well, but I'd suggest making use of the canonical metadata which should include a list of tags. These tags could include the cooking method. Granted it's not inline declaration of the cooking method, but it is at least something that currently exists that wouldn't require text scraping the instructions (well, maybe it would to get them added initially, but that's a one time cost, but if you're already making use of #^ to custom build this, it should be easy enough to write a script to handle the metadata conversion for you)
