Details
Creating an attractive and visually impactful recipe book is now easier thanks to the "AI-Powered Recipe Book PDF Generator" from AI Content Labs. This workflow utilizes multiple AI agents to automatically generate both visual and textual content, creating personalized recipe books in PDF format, ready to share or publish.
Workflow Description
The "AI-Powered Recipe Book PDF Generator" consists of an integrated sequence of intelligent nodes that combine advanced models such as GPT-4o and OpenAI o4-mini to generate textual and visual content. The process begins with an input node where you define the book’s theme, such as "Mexican Cuisine" or "Holiday Dishes." Then, a GPT-4.1-based agent automatically generates a list of seven representative dishes related to the specified theme.
Next, two additional AI agents, powered by the o4-mini model (which can be replaced with Claude Sonnet 3-7 or Gemini 2.5 Pro for more flexibility), create detailed images using the "Text-to-Image" tool. These images are used to generate a visually appealing cover and a well-organized table of contents for the book.
Each dish in the list is processed individually by another specialized agent, which generates two specific pages for each recipe: a visual presentation page and another with detailed preparation instructions, ingredients, cooking time, and calories. Finally, all these pages are automatically combined into a single PDF using AI Content Labs' proprietary node that merges multiple documents.
This workflow fully leverages AI Content Labs' multimodal capabilities, integrating advanced tools such as realistic image generation from VertexAI Imagen and precise HTML-to-PDF conversion, making it easy to create visually stunning and professionally designed recipe books without requiring advanced technical knowledge.
How to Use
To use this workflow, you only need to enter one required input:
- Dish Theme: This is a mandatory text field with a maximum of 100 characters. Clearly specify the culinary theme you want to explore, such as "Mexican Cuisine," "Asian Street Food," or "Holiday Dishes."
The workflow will automatically generate the dish list, illustrative images, cover, table of contents, and individual recipe pages in PDF format, so no additional information is needed.

Recommendations
To achieve the best results when using this workflow, consider the following tips:
