RecipeRadar Direction Parser

A direction is a description of a step performed during preparation of a recipe. The RecipeRadar Direction Parser takes a set of these directions as input, and extracts metadata from them before returning the results to caller.

For example, given the direction: Place the casserole dish in the oven, the direction-parser service can indicate that the direction references an oven appliance.

This functionality is provided to the crawler service so that it can extract additional data from each recipe crawled.
