RoomiePlate: Allergy-Safe Weeknight Plans for My Roommate, with Local Gemma

Description and use

RoomiePlate is a weeknight meal planner that respects allergies and time constraints, using a local Gemma model and an allergen scanner to ensure safe meals.

Problem

Shared kitchens often fail to respect individual allergies, leading to accidental exposure and unsafe meals.

Outcome

RoomiePlate delivers allergy‑aware meal plans and a single grocery list, reducing manual safety checks and ensuring compliance with dietary constraints.

Workflow

• Create roommate profile (allergies, dislikes, cuisines, pantry).
• Generate a week of dinners via the planner UI.
• Review safety line on each meal card (e.g., "SAFE for Alex: no peanut/shellfish").
• Swap or regenerate a day if needed.
• Export a consolidated grocery list that lists allergen notes at the top.

Evidence

RoomiePlate is an allergy-aware weeknight meal planner for the person you share a kitchen with.

Source

Every meal card shows a safety line the app writes after a scan — for example SAFE for Alex: no peanut/shellfish — not whatever the model claimed.

Source

A strict system prompt plus a post‑generation allergen scanner that throws out any meal whose title, ingredients, or steps mention a profile allergen.

Offline fixtures so demos and deploys still work without a GPU — clearly labeled in the UI.
