Data Engineering Challenges in Intelligent Food and Cooking Recipes

The field of data engineering has witnessed a surge in interest in the development of intelligent food and cooking recipe systems in recent years. These systems employ machine learning algorithms and large-scale data analytics to aid users in meal planning, recipe discovery, and cooking instructions. The potential of these systems to transform the way we approach meal planning and cooking cannot be overstated, as they offer tailored recommendations that consider a user’s dietary preferences, cooking abilities, and other relevant factors. This short paper focuses on identifying and addressing some of the key data engineering challenges in building intelligent food and cooking recipe systems. Specifically, we examine the issues related to data collection, cleaning, integration, and processing, as well as the design and implementation of efficient data pipelines and storage systems. By addressing these challenges, we aim to provide insights into how to build robust and effective intelligent food and cooking recipe systems that can deliver personalized and high-quality recommendations to users.
