Culinary Code Wiki

Welcome to the wiki for the Culinary Code project. This wiki outlines the required steps to take if you want to host, develop or contribute to the project.

About the project

Culinary Code is an AI-powered recipe management app that helps users find and create recipes tailored to their needs. With advanced search options, users can easily discover recipes that suit their preferences. If a suitable recipe isn't available, the AI can generate a custom recipe based on their exact specifications. Users can add selected recipes to a weekly meal planner, which automatically generates a grocery list for all planned meals.

The app allows users to set dietary preferences, including restrictions like lactose intolerance or gluten-free requirements, and the AI will adjust recipe suggestions accordingly. Additionally, users can create or join groups that share a meal planner and grocery list—ideal for households where multiple people use the app.
