# Search by Dietary Restrictions

Cooking for dietary restrictions transforms meal planning from a creative exercise into a constraint satisfaction problem. A gluten-free, dairy-free dinner for someone who also dislikes mushrooms narrows the options dramatically. Finding recipes that work within multiple restrictions simultaneously is the hardest part -- most recipe sites let you filter by one restriction at a time, not combinations.

The search_recipes skill searches for recipes matching specific dietary criteria, returning options that fit within your constraints. Whether you need vegan recipes, nut-free meals for a school lunch, or keto-friendly dinners that the whole family will eat, the search handles the filtering for you.

This matters for families managing food allergies, people with celiac disease or lactose intolerance, anyone following a prescribed medical diet, and hosts cooking for guests with restrictions. Instead of reading through hundreds of recipes and mentally filtering out the incompatible ones, you start with a curated list that already meets your requirements.
