    I need an app designed for people who have zero knowledge, skill or talent for cooking (me, that people is me) - I want one that gives flavour balancing suggestions. Like I could select a couple of ingredients I have and the app would then suggest other ingredients that would go well with those flavours. And preferably let me favourite ingredients I love and exclude ones I hate (or can’t eat for medical reasons).

    Is that a thing?

    @Lemlems This is basically a recommendation system, so you can find lots and lots and lots of machine-learning papers about such things, but all of the actual implementations are about extracting more money from users (either directly or by monetizing their eyeballs). At least there isn't a copyright issue (ingredient lists aren't copyrightable) although there remain some ethical questions depending on how the data is sourced and ground-truthed.
