It looks like you're using the recipe-scrapers library to scrape recipes which only supports a set number of websites.

If you want to expand that, I recommend parsing JSON+LD and Microformats. Given your parsers folder [2], it looks like you've tried it, but only for specific websites. I would make that generic and check whether the metadata is available on any website. I wrote a blog post on this if you're interested [3].
