abstract = "Cooking is an endeavour unique to humans. It is mainly
considered an art requiring culinary intuition acquired
through practice. The preparation of food is a complex
and subjective process that makes it challenging to
determine underlying rules for automation. In this
paper, we present AutoChef, the first open-source
autonomous recipe generator. AutoChef extracts the data
from existing recipes using natural language
processing, learns the combination of ingredients,
preparation actions and cooking instructions, and
autonomously generates the recipes. Furthermore,
AutoChef uses Genetic Programming to represent and
evolve the recipes. The fitness of recipes is designed
to evaluate the combination of ingredients, actions and
cooking-processes learned from the existing recipe
data. Finally, the resulting recipes are translated
back into text format and evaluated by human experts.",
