COOKSY was a full‑stack web application built with a Python backend and a Next.js frontend. It could generate recipes based on ingredients already in the user’s possession, allowing cuisine and dietary preferences to be set before recipe creation. The interface offered a clean, responsive design with both light and dark theme support, and interacted with the OpenRouter free API to drive its AI‑powered recipe generation.
The project began as a weekend experiment to explore OpenRouter’s AI capabilities. Work on the user interface and backend integration was halted before full testing and optimization could be completed, due largely to competing priorities and time constraints that prevented the feature set from reaching a polished, ready‑for‑users state.
Had it continued, COOKSY could have evolved into a comprehensive cooking companion—providing step‑by‑step meal plans, pantry inventory tracking, and even a community sharing platform. Integrating more advanced AI models might have enabled personalized nutrition plans and adaptive recipe recommendations. Ultimately, it had the potential to become a go‑to tool for both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs seeking convenient, AI‑augmented culinary guidance.
