How It Works

Discover how we leverage the power of AI and machine learning to explore science-backed flavour pairings and generate recipes

Flavour Graph

Deep learning power

The Origins (2011)

The cultural diversity of culinary practice raised a fundamental question: are there universal patterns in ingredient combinations?1

FlavorGraph (2021)

After 10 years of research, FlavorGraph - a deep learning model trained on over 1M recipes and chemical compound data that reveals how ingredients interact and are paired in recipes - was published.2,3

Epicure (2025)

Using the FlavorGraph dataset, we can identify the usual, but also unusual flavour pairings and use them to create recipes that are more likely to be enjoyed.

Macrodata Refinement

AI-powered data processing

Pattern Recognition

AI identifies semantic patterns in the data and consolidates it into a comprehensive flavour pairing dictionary.

Data Processing

AI processes and analyzes the semantically consolidated data and enriches it with dietary and categorization information.

Epicure Magic

Epicure seamlessly exploits this data to create a comprehensive AI-assisted food generation tool.

Food Intelligence

AI-powered food generation

Smart ingredient selection

Smart algorithms select best flavour pairings from the FlavorGraph, and provide AI-assisted pairing recommendations.

Advanced recipe generation

The ingredients are then processed by AI to generate various types of recipes at different complexity levels with cultural awareness and professional-photography style image generation.

Nutritional information

The recipes are enriched with nutritional information and dietary information with AI-powered analysis.
