3. **Get available meal types** (to confirm "Dinner" exists):
   ```bash
   node ./scripts/tandoor.js get-meal-types
   ```
4. **Add each recipe to a day** (repeat for each day):
   ```bash
   node ./scripts/tandoor.js add-to-meal-plan 42 "Dinner" "2025-02-10"
   node ./scripts/tandoor.js add-to-meal-plan 15 "Dinner" "2025-02-11"
   # ... continue for each day

   node ./scripts/tandoor.js add-shopping-item "Chicken Breast" "500" "g"
   node ./scripts/tandoor.js add-shopping-item "Onion" "2" "piece"

   50g parmesan" \
     "1. Cook pasta

## Troubleshooting

**"Food not found" or "Unit not found"**  
Search for the correct name in Tandoor first:
```bash
node ./scripts/tandoor.js get-foods "chicken"
node ./scripts/tandoor.js get-units "gram"
```

**"Meal type not found"**  
Run `get-meal-types` to see exact names (case-insensitive match).
