Several systems try to offer solutions in highly complex environments such as nutrition, housing, or traveling. In this paper, we present a recommendation system capable of using different input sources (data and knowledge-based) and producing a complex structured output. We have used an evolutionary approach to combine several unitary items within a flexible structure and have built an initial set of complex configurable items. Then, a content-based approach refines (in terms of preferences) these candidates to offer a final recommendation.We conclude with the application of this approach to the healthy diet recommendation problem, addressing its strengths in this domain.}, abstract = {Over the last few years, the ability of recommender systems to help us in different environments has been increasing.
