Throughout my life I have always struggled with keeping track of recipes I like to make. Either I would write it down and lose it or I would bookmark online recipes and dislike the website's design and user interface. I've noticed that my friends also have these problems. Since written cookbook are pretty common, I thought it would be convenient to have an online version.
My idea is to create a personal cookbook and kitchen helper website. It would allow users to store their personal recipes and easily access them.
I have a lot of feature ideas for this website, but we might not create all of them during this course.
- Organize recipes by meal type, e.g. breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert
- Convert measurements based on recipe's serving size
- Optional section to store current kitchen ingredients
- Allow users to select recipes they'd like to make for the upcoming week, and creates a grocery list based on needed ingredients (would consider previous bullet point and disregard ingredients user already has in their kitchen)
- Social aspect that allows users to share their recipes with friends/family on the platform
- Have a trending section where user can view other users' recipes and like or save them
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- C++
The target audience for this website is anyone who cooks regularly. Some users could simply use this website for recipe storage while others might make use of its features that create an easier time with weekly planning. I think parents and large families would get more use from this site since they may need more help with planning out meals and grocery trips.
