Description

This tool allows you to download recipes from hello-fresh so that you can print them out.

Capabilities

using selenium this script connects to a hello fresh website, does some magic then creates some snapshots of the relevant elements on the page and depending on the command line options given shows you the result or sends a print job.

potentially in the future the script could be made to also generate only textually output it isn't hard to add.
