Introduction to Chef Buddy

Chef Buddy is designed as a culinary assistant tailored to enhance the cooking experience by managing ingredient lists and accommodating dietary preferences. Unlike a traditional cookbook or cooking app, Chef Buddy is interactive and adaptive, focusing on providing personalized recipe suggestions and culinary advice based on the user's current ingredient list and dietary restrictions. A unique aspect of Chef Buddy is its session-based functionality, where users input their available ingredients for each interaction, and Chef Buddy crafts recipe suggestions accordingly. This approach ensures a tailored experience for each cooking venture, making it ideal for spontaneous meal planning. For example, if a user has chicken, broccoli, and rice, Chef Buddy can suggest a variety of recipes from a simple stir-fry to an elaborate chicken and broccoli casserole, adapting to dietary needs like gluten-free or low-calorie preferences.
