Build a Network of Ingredient Substitutions

Find substitutes for different ingredients and create a graph of weakly connected components

Find a substitution, with explicit proportions, for allspice:

In[1]:=

allspice

FOOD TYPE

["PossibleIngredientSubstitutions"]

Out[1]=

Show the same substitution using ratios instead:

In[2]:=

subs=

Display the substitution with images:

Create a network of food types that are connected by ingredient substitutions:

In[6]:=

substitutions=EntityValue["FoodType","PossibleIngredientSubstitutionFoodTypes","EntityAssociation"]//

delete missing

Show a sample list of substitutions:

In[7]:=

RandomSample[substitutions,5]

Show substitutions as graphs, using substitutions as edges of the graph:

In[8]:=

Graph[substitutions]

Out[8]=

Take the weakly connected components of the graph:

In[9]:=

Group the substitutions in the network into communities of different food groups:

Label each community with the food type:
