Inspiration

Cooking ideas are everywhere, online videos, websites, or cookbooks, but turning them into a real meal can be confusing. We wanted a simple way to go from idea to ingredients to cooking.

What it does

Users can:

• Take photos of cookbooks, fridge, or ingredients
• Paste links from YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, or websites
• See what ingredients they already have
• Generate shopping lists
• Get AI-inferred recipes from captions or photos
• Plan meals automatically for the week
• Create, manage, and export their own cookbooks with saved recipes

How we built it

• Mobile app (iOS)
• Processes photos, links, and text inputs
• Extracts captions and titles from supported sources
• Converts input into ingredient lists, shopping lists, and meal plans
• Allows users to build their own cookbooks within the app
• Smooth frontend experience for easy navigation and input

Challenges we ran into

• Extracting captions and titles reliably from online sources
• Handling different types of inputs (photos, links, text)
• Designing automatic meal plans that are flexible and useful
• Making recipe suggestions accurate and easy to follow
• Building a user-friendly cookbook creation and management system

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Users can generate ingredient lists, recipes, and meal plans from multiple sources
• Users can track what they already have and create shopping lists
• Smooth UX with easy photo, text, and link inputs
• Users can create, organize, and manage their own cookbooks within the app

What we learned

• Simplifying inputs improves user experience
• Handling multiple content sources is challenging but feasible
• Auto meal planning adds real value
• Letting users create their own cookbooks makes the app more personal and useful
