- Abstract: Cooking is a uniquely human endeavor for transforming raw ingredients into
delicious dishes. Over centuries, cultures worldwide have evolved diverse
cooking practices ingrained in their culinary traditions. Recipes, thus, are
cultural capsules that capture culinary knowledge in elaborate cooking
protocols. While simple quantitative models have probed the patterns in recipe
composition and the process of cuisine evolution, unlike other cultural quirks
such as language, the principles of cooking remain hitherto unexplored. The
fundamental rules that drive the act of cooking, shaping recipe composition and
cuisine architecture, are unclear. Here we present a generative grammar of
cooking that captures the underlying culinary logic. By studying an extensive
repository of structured recipes, we identify core concepts and rules that
together forge a combinatorial system for culinary synthesis. Building on the
body of work done in the context of language, the demonstration of a logically
consistent generative framework offers profound insights into the act of
cooking. Given the central role of food in nutrition and lifestyle disorders,
culinary grammar provides leverage to improve public health through dietary
interventions beyond applications for creative pursuits such as novel recipe
generation.

A model to effectively reason about cooking recipes must accurately discern and understand the inputs and outputs of intermediate steps within the recipe.
We present a new corpus of cooking recipes enriched with descriptions of intermediate steps that describe the input and output for each step.

We propose a novel framework: Decomposing Generation Networks (DGN) with structure prediction.
Specifically, we split each cooking instruction into several phases, and assign different sub-generators to each phase.
Our approach includes two novel ideas: (i) learning the recipe structures with the global structure prediction component and (ii) producing recipe phases in the sub-generator output component based on the predicted structure.
