Trending Foods

Plan of Action:

• Scrape recipe information (title, ingredient list) from Food52
• Perform NLP on the text data
• Extract themes and trends from vectorized text

Load the Recipes:

import pandas as pd  
df = pd.read_pickle('data/featured_recipes.pkl')  

Plot Ingredient Usage Over Time:

from src.plotters import time_food_plot, yearly_food_plot

Pick any ingredient, and see how its use in recipes has changed over time!

time_food_plot(df, food='Basil', n_months=1, save=False) 

For a given ingredient, plot the monthly frequency of use for each year, along with the average monthly use.

yearly_food_plot(df, food='Basil', save=False)
