### get_recipe

Retrieve full recipe details from a Serious Eats recipe URL. Extracts ingredients, step-by-step instructions, prep/cook/total times, ratings, user reviews, tips, and photos from structured JSON-LD and HTML. Returns null for fields not present on the page. Not all Serious Eats URLs are recipe pages — non-recipe articles will return null/empty fields.
