Cookify is a food app designed to automate the process of finding recipes using ingredients the user already has. It takes input in the form of ingredients already in the user’s fridge, then allows them to select which ingredients they would like to use, searching for those in recipes and outputting them once the user clicks the “Find Recipe” button. They can then scroll to find a recipe that seems appealing, then click it to view the full procedure.
Our app makes the process of finding recipes easier by automatically filtering out recipes that the user does not have the ingredients to make. This makes it easier and less time consuming to figure out what to cook and what ingredients you do not have. In specific, Cookify is designed to find great recipes to get rid of spoiling food. For instance, say you have bananas that are about to go bad, but also need to get rid of some molding bread; it took me 10 minutes to find a recipe for Bread Banana Pudding Pie on Google. But with Cookify, all it takes is the click of a button.
Cookify features two pages, for simplicity. The first page includes an area to input new ingredients and a button to add more. To delete a previously inputted ingredient, the user must click on it and select the “Delete” button at the bottom right. You can also select which ingredients you would like to include in your search. Once the “Find Recipes'' button is pressed, the app searches for items in an array that include most of the selected ingredients and displays its info on the next activity. The user can scroll to find which recipe suits their preferences best; once they find a good recipe, the user can click on it to be directed to a web page housing the full procedure.
