Create your menu discovering traditional recipes

Expo2015 has focused attention on the culinary memories, healthy food and traditional methods, handed down over the years, to cultivate and use what nature has to offer, in a sustainable way. In this paper we present the application Create your menu (the work is still in progress) able to query the ECHI-ICH database, an inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage, to find recipes/foods and compose the results in an healthy menu. The application is able to retrieve, within the cards of the ECHI-ICH inventory, those that are related to foods, then identify the main ingredients and extract the nutrients, using open data about food, to compose traditional and healthy meals.
