The Idea
Everyone’s left food in their fridge for too long, ultimately, having to throw it away. Often, it’s produce which could have been used in a meal.
A shame considering there are over 3 billion recipes on the internet. Using object detection I created a tool that could help us find meals for any left over produce. Your fridge will simply tell you what you can make with left over ingredients.
How does it work?
The object detector looks for items in your fridge creating a list of ingredients. With the list, the code scrapes the internet for recipes.
Editors note: I made this in 2020 before large language models were avaliable, now i’d obviously simply connect it to AI.
Behind the Scenes
This was my first machine learning project which has sparked so many of my other projects. I will always have a soft spot for this work.
I promise I won't place my computer in a fridge again.
