Build a Recipe Generator with GPT

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how we interact with content, and the kitchen is no exception. With the rise of generative AI models like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), building intelligent applications like a Recipe Generator is now easier than ever. Whether you’re a developer looking for a fun project or a startup exploring AI-driven cooking assistants, this blog will walk you through how to build a simple recipe generator using GPT.


What Is a Recipe Generator?

A recipe generator is an AI-powered application that takes user inputs—like available ingredients, cuisine preference, or dietary restrictions—and returns a recipe with a title, ingredients, and step-by-step cooking instructions. GPT excels at language generation, making it the perfect tool for creating recipes that feel natural and creative.


Why Use GPT?

GPT models (like OpenAI’s GPT-4) can:

Generate human-like text for recipes

Understand context (e.g., “I’m allergic to dairy” or “I want something spicy”)

Create personalized, diverse meals every time

Save time for users looking for inspiration

You don’t need to train a model from scratch—just use the GPT API to build the logic around your application.


Tools You’ll Need

Python (Flask or FastAPI) – For backend API

JavaScript (React or plain HTML/JS) – For frontend

OpenAI API Key – For GPT access

Optional: Docker, MongoDB (for storing user history or recipes)


Basic Workflow

User Input: Collect data like ingredients, cuisine, meal type (e.g., lunch, dinner), or dietary restrictions.

API Request to GPT: Format a prompt and send it to the GPT API.

Display Recipe: Parse and display the recipe to the user.

(Optional) Save Recipes: Let users bookmark or export recipes.

Example Prompt to GPT

python


prompt = """

I have the following ingredients: chicken, garlic, onions, and tomatoes. 

Please generate a dinner recipe that is spicy and does not include dairy. 

List ingredients and provide step-by-step cooking instructions.

"""

This prompt is sent to GPT via the API:


python


import openai


openai.api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'


response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(

  model="gpt-4",

  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]

)


recipe = response['choices'][0]['message']['content']

print(recipe)

Frontend Integration

You can use a simple React or HTML form to collect inputs:


html


<form onsubmit="generateRecipe(event)">

  <input type="text" name="ingredients" placeholder="Enter ingredients..." />

  <input type="text" name="preferences" placeholder="Any preferences?" />

  <button type="submit">Generate Recipe</button>

</form>

Use JavaScript to call the backend and display the response.


Enhancements and Features

Voice Input: Use Web Speech API to allow users to speak ingredients.

Image Recognition: Use computer vision to detect ingredients from photos.

Recipe Rating System: Let users rate and save favorite recipes.

Meal Planner: Suggest weekly meal plans based on inputs.


Conclusion

A GPT-powered recipe generator is a perfect project for showcasing how AI can enhance everyday experiences. By combining a simple frontend, a Python backend, and the GPT API, you can build a smart kitchen assistant that generates fresh, personalized recipes in seconds. Whether for fun, learning, or launching a product, this AI use case blends creativity with code in a truly delicious way.

Tosca vs Selenium: Which One to Choose?

Choosing the right test automation tool can make or break the efficiency of your QA process. Two widely discussed tools in the test automation space are Tosca by Tricentis and Selenium, the open-source web automation framework. While both tools aim to automate testing and accelerate software delivery, they cater to different needs and teams. In this blog, we’ll provide a comprehensive comparison between Tosca and Selenium to help you decide which one suits your project best. Overview Selenium is an open-source framework primarily used for automating web applications. It supports multiple languages (Java, Python, C#, etc.) and browsers, making it ideal for custom, flexible automation solutions. Tosca, on the other hand, is a commercial test automation tool that supports model-based testing, API testing, mobile, desktop, and even SAP testing. It's designed for enterprise-grade testing with minimal scripting. Key Comparison: Tosca vs Selenium Feature          ...

Flask API Optimization: Using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

When building APIs with Flask, performance and speed are key metrics that directly affect user experience and application scalability. One powerful but often overlooked way to enhance these metrics is through the use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). While CDNs are traditionally associated with delivering static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, they can also play a significant role in optimizing your Flask-based APIs. What Is a CDN? A Content Delivery Network is a globally distributed network of proxy servers that cache content closer to end-users. Instead of every user hitting your central Flask server, a CDN enables them to access cached responses or assets from a nearby server, significantly reducing latency and improving response times. Benefits of Using CDNs with Flask APIs 1. Reduced Latency Latency is the time it takes for a request to travel from the client to your server and back. By caching static or semi-static responses at edge locations, CDNs reduce the distance...

Using ID and Name Locators in Selenium Python

When automating browser tasks with Selenium in Python, one of the first challenges is identifying and interacting with web elements. Selenium offers multiple strategies for locating elements, and two of the simplest and most effective methods are using the ID and Name locators. These locators are fast, reliable, and easy to use, making them ideal for beginners and experienced testers alike. In this blog post, we’ll dive into how ID and Name locators work in Selenium Python, provide examples, and share best practices to help you write clean and maintainable test scripts. What Are Locators in Selenium? Locators in Selenium are methods used to find elements on a web page. Selenium supports several locator types, including: ID Name Class Name Tag Name Link Text CSS Selector XPath Among these, ID and Name locators are often the most efficient because browsers optimize them for speed and accuracy. Setting Up Selenium with Python Before using locators, ensure you have Selenium installed: bash...
