About
This dataset provides a detailed collection of recipes sourced from Tasty, designed to be a valuable resource for culinary analysis and applications. It includes key metadata for each recipe, such as country of origin, description, unique identifiers, and associated keywords. The dataset is structured to facilitate various data science initiatives, including natural language processing on ingredients and instructions, and can be paired with other datasets for visual enhancements like images. It serves as a foundational dataset for understanding food and beverage consumption patterns and developing innovative food-related solutions.
Columns
- country: Specifies the country associated with the recipe, with a significant portion being US-based (78%), followed by ZZ (18%) and other regions (3%).
- description: A brief narrative summary for each recipe.
- id_: A unique numerical identifier for each recipe (e.g., 4956 unique values).
- keywords: Tags or relevant terms linked to the recipe, such as 'tasty' or 'tasty_vegetarian'.
- is_shoppable: A boolean indicator (true/false) determining if a recipe's ingredients are available for direct shopping (95% are shoppable).
- language: The primary language of the recipe content, predominantly English (96%).
- name: The official name of the recipe.
- slug: A unique textual identifier for the recipe, serving as a key to link with ingredient and instruction details (e.g., 4961 unique values).
- video_url: A direct link to a video associated with the recipe.
- ingredients: A list of components required for the recipe, found within the accompanying JSON file.
- instructions: A step-by-step guide on how to prepare the recipe, also located in the JSON file.
- tags: References specific tags by ID, linking to an external tags dataset.
Distribution
The dataset is primarily available in CSV format for general recipe information and JSON format for detailed ingredients and instructions. The JSON file is structured as a jagged dataset, where the slug from the CSV acts as a key to access ingredient and instruction lists. While an exact row count for the entire dataset is not provided, column label counts indicate approximately 5,000 unique recipes (e.g., 4960 to 4961 unique IDs and slugs). The data files are typically updated separately on the platform.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks on recipe instructions and ingredient lists.
- Developing cooking applications or recipe recommendation systems.
- Analysing food trends and dietary patterns.
- Creating AI and Machine Learning models related to food consumption and preparation.
- Culinary research and educational purposes.
Coverage
The dataset has a global geographic region for its coverage. While global, a significant majority of the country data specifies the US (78%). Information regarding specific time ranges or demographic scopes for the data's collection is not provided. A note indicates that the content is intended solely for users of legal drinking age, encouraging responsible consumption. There are also two missing images corresponding to missing content on the original website.
