Technical Implementation

This project was built using Next.js for the frontend and serverless functions, with OpenAI's GPT models powering the recipe generation. The UI was designed with Tailwind CSS, providing a clean and responsive interface.

Challenges and Solutions

A significant challenge was optimizing the OpenAI API prompts to generate useful and accurate recipes while managing token usage. This was addressed by creating a carefully structured prompt system that guides the AI to provide consistent and practical recipe formats.
