This project parses online recipes into a useful data representation and features a conversational interface for user interaction.
The cookbook extracts recipes from TheMealDB.
The cookbook can answer queries and questions like:
- Navigation: Repeat, Next, Go back
- Show all ingredients
- How do I do that?
- What is a meatloaf?
- How do I beat an egg?
- What tools do I need?
- How long?
- What temperature?
- Recipe Transformation: Convert units, Translate portion sizes
