AI-Powered Personalized Cookbooks

The Algorithmic Chef Identifies Ingredients & Assembles Recipes

One of the newest Everyday Experiments from IKEA's SPACE10 design lab is the Algorithmic Chef and it serves as a personalized cookbook powered by artificial intelligence. This experiment was created by the lab with AI creative studio Osk and it uses a tech-fueled approach to help people make the most of what's already in the fridge, and in the process, reduce food waste.

The concept leverages the power of AI, object detection and Natural Language Processing in order to identify unique ingredients and turn them into original recipes. Some of the recipes that the technology has come up with include Avocado Crepes with Chocolate Cashew Sauce, or Roasted Yam and Pear Gratin.

This experiment is the answer to the question: "What if artificial intelligence could write you a personalised cookbook?"
