Your task for today is to create an AI-powered recipe generator using OpenAI’s GPT models and LangChain. This project introduces you to working with Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and building practical AI applications.
Project Task
Create an AI recipe generator that:
Connects to an OpenAI GPT model using LangChain
Loads API credentials securely from an .env file
Takes ingredients from the user as input
Processes and cleans the ingredient list
Generates 3 different recipe suggestions based on available ingredients
Displays each recipe with:
Recipe name and description
Ingredients needed
Step-by-step cooking instructions
Estimated cooking time
Difficulty level (Easy/Medium/Hard)
Suggests additional ingredients if needed for complete recipes
Bonus (optional):
Add dietary preference filters (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free)
Save favorite recipes to a JSON file
Add nutritional information estimation
Create a web interface using Streamlit or Gradio
This project gives you hands-on practice with LangChain framework, OpenAI API integration, prompt engineering, and environment variables — essential skills for modern AI development.
Expected Output
Below the user typed in “tomato,garlic,pasta” and got recommended a spaghetti aglio e olio with tomato recipe.
