Many homemakers feel stressed when deciding on the menu of the day [?]. Even though they have a vague idea of some dishes, it is not easy for them to make the idea clear. Therefore, this research proposes a system that finds recipes corresponding to the user's vague requirements. On the Web, many blog-type recipes describe not only a recipe itself, but also the reasons why a given recipe were created or selected by the page authors. Firstly, the system extracts the author's reasons for the creation or selection of a recipe from the blog-type recipes. Secondly, the system lets the user input his/her present situation or feelings which must include his/her vague requirement and mine his/her reasons for recipe selection from the input. Finally, the system outputs recipes that meet the user's vague requirements by associating the reasons for recipe selection from the user's input text with the reasons accompanying the blog-type recipes.
