Sustainable Cooking with AI: Generative Recipes and Smart Nutrition Assistance

Cooking sustainably is key to eco-friendly living and reducing food waste. This paper introduces an AI powered platform that combines food classification, recipe generation and nutrition assistance for sustainable cooking. The platform uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) for Indian food classification, RoboFlow API for international food detection and a GPT based natural language processing (NLP) model for personalized recipe generation. It also has waste tracking and meal planning features to optimize ingredient usage and reduce waste. The system achieved 92% accuracy for Indian food items and was able to detect international food through RoboFlow. The platform generates personalized recipes based on user inputs and available ingredients for both sustainability and healthy eating. An interactive Streamlit app is the user interface for food recognition, recipe generation and sustainability focused meal planning. This system combines AI, APIs and sustainability focused innovations to be a one stop solution for modern eco conscious users.
