Dear Reader,

Thank you, Andrea

The idea came in collaboration with Toby Sachs-Quintana at Insight Data Science, Palo Alto, CA. The implementation scheme is largely due to work by Jingjing Chen and Chong-Wah Ngo of City University of HongKong (http://vireo.cs.cityu.edu.hk/papers/jjc_mm16.pdf).

The dataset is courtesy of allrecipes.com.

My thanks go to all who gave me their support and feedback, and in particular to Carlos Faham for the encouragement.
