Updating the generation system: unique recipes!

I have been working on a recipe generator app and am currently working on the generation feature. I made swipable recipe cards that give the basic details of each recipe, and people can either choose to follow it (gives a detailed view with instructions), save it or skip it. When they swipe this card away, a new recipe is on the next card! Since joining Stardance, I have been working on modifying and redesigning how the generation works.

My first step in this was actually generating unique recipes, as, with the same inputs, the AI usually generates near-identical recipes. I have been working on adding constraints randomly added to the prompt each swipe to yield unique recipes for the same inputted ingredients!

I have three categories of constraints that get added: meal type (late night snack, high protein…), texture (crunchy, creamy…), and methods (grill, char, bake…).

Here are some screenshots of the cards and some unique recipes that were inputted the same ingredients!!!

(btw the image of the meal is just a placeholder rn)
