Make filter for (non-)thermomix/air-fryer more prominent

[rugk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As HelloFresh itself, Thermomix yes or no is likely the most important/basic decision one has to make when searching/getting recipes.

If #293 is fixed one can already filter for thermomix'es or not, but the process/UX seems complicated/too complex for such a simple and in likely 99.99% required use case. Steps are:

1. Search.
2. Click filter.
3. Find and click dropdown to include tag or lebel.
4. Search in that list (as the returned tag lists are huge!)
5. Then apply filter (if fixed, as said)

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe just a prominent checkbox near the search or at leats in the filter panel "Thermomix" yes or no.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Keep as it is -> bad UX IMHO

Additional context
You likely know the prominent question in the HelloFresh onboarding process whether you have a thermomix device or not.

#237 could also solve this if all duplicates are found, but I doubt that this is technically always 100%ly possible. (maybe just with some fuzzy matching on the name and then you wold have false-positives)

There are plenty of people who specifically search for Thermomix recipes and will probably also search for Air Fryer recipes in the future.

As has already been noted here, some recipes can be identified by their labels, while others can be identified by their tags.

I think it’d be best to offer configurable preferences. Something like this:

• Recipes for Thermomix: Yes/No
• Recipes for Air-Fryers: Yes/No
• Recipes without air fryers or Thermomix: Yes/No

These preferences can then act as a kind of “automatic” filter for tags and labels.

I'll have to think about this some more while I'm out walking the dog.

Yeah good point.

Also relevant for #293 is: Currently, the list of these tags and labels is huge, I agree the data quality of HelloFresh is not so nice 🙃

Many things, such as ingredients, are already normalized. Otherwise, you would have salt listed 20 times or so.

Tag & Label Naming Inconsistencies

This document outlines naming inconsistencies for Thermomix and Air Fryer across countries.

Summary

Thermomix naming is relatively consistent. The base name Thermomix is the same everywhere. The DACH region has additional sub-tags (hilft, kocht, übernimmt alles) that describe the level of Thermomix involvement. No Air Fryer-level inconsistencies here.

Summary

Air Fryer naming is highly inconsistent across countries:

• 6 different spelling variants across tags and labels
• Inconsistent casing: Air Fryer Easy vs OPTION AIRFRYER vs AIRFRYER OPTIONEEL
• Inconsistent spacing/punctuation: Air Fryer vs Air-Fryer vs Airfryer
• Brand-specific names: Philips Airfryer (BE, LU, NL)
• Language-specific phrasing: Compatible Air Fryer (FR), AIRFRYER OPTIONEEL (NL)
• Missing labels: FR has no Air Fryer label at all
• DE/AT label uses a hyphen (Air-Fryer) while the tag does not (Air Fryer Easy)

Countries Without Any Thermomix or Air Fryer Tags/Labels

The following active countries have neither Thermomix nor Air Fryer tags or labels:

• DK (Denmark)
• ES (Spain)
• IT (Italy)
• NO (Norway)
• SE (Sweden)

Only. How do we now recognize pure Thermomix or air fryer recipes? Or we accept that we are filtering out too many recipes.

Is not there usually a duplicate recipe that does not require Thermomix or air fryer at all?
At least for Thermomix HelloFresh itself provides a global filter, so I guess these can be filtered out more easily.
Are there even, say, "mixed recipes" where you can use a thermomix/air-fryer but do not need to? I only ever saw a variation of that recipe then which requires it or (with different cooking steps) when it does not require it.
