Features

• Multiple AI chef personalities to choose from
• Suggest dish names based on provided ingredients
• Provide detailed recipes for given dish names
• Critique and suggest improvements for provided recipes

Installation

Before installing project dependencies, it's recommended to set up a Python virtual environment. This helps to keep dependencies required by different projects separate by creating isolated environments for them. Follow these steps to set up your virtual environment and install the required packages.

1. Set Up Virtual Environment:

   If you don't have a virtual environment yet, create one by running:

   python3 -m venv env

   Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Unix/macOS, run:

     source .venv/bin/activate
     

   • On Windows, run:

     env\Scripts\activate.bat

2. Install Dependencies:

   With the virtual environment activated, install the project dependencies by running:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   This command installs all the necessary packages as specified in the requirements.txt file, ensuring that you have the right versions needed for the project.

   pip freeze > requirements.txt to save the state environment source .venv/bin/activate to activate virtual Environment pip install openai to install A packages verify that openai is installed by running pip freeze again.
