How It Works

  • URL Submission

    Start by simply entering the URL of any recipe found on the web into our user-friendly interface.

  • Data Extraction

    Our system fetches the recipe text and relevant information from the provided URL.

  • Text Processing with GPT-4o

    We utilize OpenAI's powerful GPT-4o model to identify the ingredients and their amounts from the recipe text. The AI recognizes various ingredients no matter the format or style of the recipe.

  • Ingredient Match-Up

    Using the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Data API, our platform searches for the relevant ingredients identified by the GPT-4o model within the extensive USDA database.

  • Results Display

    The nutritional breakdown, along with the ingredients and their identified amounts, is presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format. This transparency enables you to double-check the ingredients and their quantities, ensuring the information is reasonable and correctly interpreted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How accurate is the nutritional data provided?

The identification of ingredients and their exact amounts is estimated by the GPT-4 model. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that the nutritional data is 100% precise. However, we list all the ingredients and their amounts as identified by the model, so you can double-check them for reasonability.

Can the website analyze recipes from non-English websites?

There is no hard limitation regarding the language of the recipes. However, the best results are achieved with English recipes, as it is the "native language" of the model. Additionally, our ingredient database is American, which may impact the results for non-English recipes.

Can the website handle all recipe websites?

The tool can handle most recipe websites. However, some websites that fetch recipes dynamically or use complex JavaScript may not work correctly. The best way to find out is to try it!

How do you handle different portion sizes?

Portion size does not affect the results since we display nutrient information per 100 grams of the recipe. The key is the proportion of ingredients, which ensures consistent nutritional information.

Is there a limit to how many recipes I can analyze?

No, there is currently no limit to the number of recipes you can analyze using our website.

Can I trust the ingredient amounts identified by the model?

While our GPT-4 model is highly capable, it is always a good idea to verify the ingredient amounts listed. The AI provides estimates that should be reasonable, but a quick check ensures accuracy.

What should I do if the analysis seems off?

If the analysis appears incorrect, please double-check the ingredient amounts and their matchups. Feel free to provide feedback to help us improve our system.
