Abstract

Home cooking supports a healthy lifestyle, but selecting what to cook using accessible ingredients is problematic. The AI-driven Smart Recipe Generator resolves this by leveraging Machine Learning (ML), Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to offer tailored recipes. Users can either enter ingredients manually or upload an image, allowing real-time recognition of ingredients from a pretrained EfficientNetV2 model. With Google AI Studio’s Gemini API, recipe suggestions are dynamically generated based on user preferences, and recipe images are generated based on the Hugging Face API.

In addition to mere recommendations, the system offers step-by-step cooking directions to maximize user experience. In contrast to traditional static recipe databases, this method adjusts according to ingredients on hand, minimizing food waste and encouraging effective meal planning. The application is developed with Flask for the backend, incorporating AI-driven ingredient categorization and text-based recipe generation. A simple and user-friendly web interface guarantees ease of access, making the system feasible for daily use.
