Recipe Tagger

This package provides a classification, a tagging system and a water footprint calculator for ingredients and recipes.
The functioning of the package is based on a dataset containing more than 700 ingredients mapped with their own class and water footprint. If a provided ingredient is not mapped into the dataset, the library search for it on wikipedia pages, into the dictionary and into NLTK Wordnet to find the best possible class. The water footprint is computed based on its ingredients. Every ingredient has a water footprint, measured in l/kg.

An ingredient could be classified in one of the following class:

• Vegetable
• Fruit
• Legume
• Meat
• Egg
• Diary
• Staple
• Condiment
• Nut
• Seafood
• Snack
• Mushroom
• Dessert
• Beverage

A recipe is tagged based on its ingredients class. The library also provides a function to get the class percentage of recipe ingredients.

Installation

pip install recipe_tagger

Recipe Tagger module

How to use

from recipe_tagger import recipe_tagger

Get the class of a single ingredient

recipe_tagger.get_ingredient_class('aubergine')
# vegetable

Get tags of a recipe (it is needed to provide all the ingredient of the recipe)

recipe_tagger.get_recipe_tags(['aubergine', 'chicken'])
# ['vegetable', 'meat']

Get class percentage of a recipe (it is needed to provide all the ingredient of the recipe)

recipe_tagger.get_recipe_class_percentage(['aubergine', 'chicken', 'beef'])
# [('vegetable', '33.33%'), ('meat', '66.67%')]

Recipe Water Footprint module

How to use

from recipe_tagger import recipe_waterfootprint as wf

Get the water footprint of a single ingredient

wf.get_ingredient_waterfootprint("tomato", 20, process=True, language="en")
# 4.28

Get the water footprint of a recipe (it is needed to prived all the ingredients and the quantity of the recipe)

In order to provide a precise calculation of the WF, it is needed to provide also the quantity used for the ingredient in the recipe. Quanities must be provided matching the following pattern: "{number}{unit}". Unit can be one of ml, gr, kg, l, ounce, teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, pint quart, gallon, pound, clove, lb, or their abbreviation.

wf.get_recipe_waterfootprint(
            ["tomato", "apple", "chicken"], 
            ["20gr", "5ml", "1l"], 
            language="en")
# 4329.28

Get the water footprint of a recipe and informations about the ingredients water footprint

wf.get_recipe_waterfootprint(
            ["tomato", "apple", "chicken"],
            ["20gr", "5ml", "1l"],
            language="en",
            information=True,
        )
# (4329.28, {"tomato": 4.28, "apple": 0.0, "chicken": 4325.0})
