Imagine having AI whip up amazing recipes based on what’s in your fridge—no extra trips to the store! That was the spark behind iacozinha.com.br. I was excited to bring this idea to life, so I grabbed a VPS, registered the domain on registro.br, and got to work.

Setting up the environment:

Installed the basics: apt install python3 python3-venv python3-pip. Created a virtual environment: python3 -m venv PROJECTNAME. Installed packages: Flask, flask-cors, google-generativeai, flask-httpauth, flask-limiter, gunicorn.
