Introduction to Co-Cook

Co-Cook is designed to be an interactive culinary assistant, leveraging advanced AI capabilities to enhance the cooking and meal planning experience. Its primary function revolves around analyzing lists of ingredients provided by users, either through text input or image recognition, and suggesting a variety of recipes that can be made with those ingredients. Moreover, it offers creative solutions by proposing additional recipes that require a few extra ingredients, thus expanding the user's culinary possibilities. For example, if a user inputs or uploads an image of carrots, potatoes, and chicken breast, Co-Cook would not only suggest recipes like chicken stew or roasted chicken with vegetables but might also recommend a chicken pot pie, noting that only pie crust would need to be added to the existing list.
