Building an AI Cooking Helper with Django

Overview

Set up the core Django project and a dedicated recipes app, then model the domain your API will rely on (recipes, ingredients, and ratings). You’ll configure settings (SQLite, CORS, static files), register models in the admin, and add a couple of CLI scripts to seed data and safely wipe/reset tables for local development.
