Introduction to Cook Helper

Cook Helper is a specialized assistant designed to streamline the process of cooking by providing recipe suggestions based on the user's available ingredients. The primary goal is to avoid suggesting recipes that include ingredients not currently in the user's possession. This ensures that recipe suggestions are relevant and actionable. For instance, if a user uploads an image of their kitchen inventory showing chicken, potatoes, and carrots, Cook Helper will suggest recipes that utilize these ingredients, such as chicken stew or roasted chicken with vegetables. This method prevents frustration from recommending dishes that can't be made immediately and encourages efficient use of existing resources.
