Introduction

We aim to solve the problem of meal planning with limited ingredients by automatically generating recipes based on the ingredients available to the user. Our system will identify various ingredients placed in front of a camera and suggest appropriate recipes using those ingredients. Users may specify recipe difficulty and the type of dish. The project will focus on creating a functional prototype capable of recognizing a set of common ingredients (e.g., vegetables, fruits, spices) and responding a few corresponding recipes. The prototype will be limited to a controlled environment with well-lit conditions and a set of common ingredients.
