An information processing apparatus includes a first-information acquirer, a second-information acquirer, a judger, and a presentation controller. The first-information acquirer acquires first information indicating a type of an ingredient provided for preparation and an amount of the ingredient. The second-information acquirer acquires second information indicating an amount that is needed for an ingredient of the type in a recipe. The judger judges a magnitude relationship between the amount indicated by the first information and the amount indicated by the second information. The presentation controller causes a presenter to present third information indicating, in accordance with the judged magnitude relationship, the amount indicated by the second information versus the amount indicated by the first information.
