What's in My Fridge? — An Open-Source AI Cooking Assistant I Built for a Friend

Description and use

<h2> The problem </h2> <p>A friend of mine has a habit: they open the fridge, stare at a handful of random ingredients — some eggs, half a chicken, a bag of rice — and just... close it again. Not because there's nothing to cook, but because turning "what I have" into "what I could make" takes a kind of mental effort that's easy to skip when you're tired.</p> <p>So for this weekend's Hacktoberfest challenge — <strong>Build for a Friend</strong> — I built them exactly that: <strong>What's in My Fridge?</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Tell me what you have. I'll tell you what you can cook.</p> </blo
