Inspiration:
We chose the quarantine fun theme. Over quarantine, we did not have the convenience to eat outside, and we felt it was unsafe to even order food. So, most of the time, we had to cook our own food and quarantine actually gave a chance for us to learn cooking! This website is for all the cooking lovers out there and even for beginners in cooking!
What it does:
User can enter any ingredients that they have/want to use and the recipe generator will find a recipe with all or most of the ingredients. Users can also enter what type of cuisines they are preferring and the meal type. THe recipe generator will show all relevant recipes. There is also a feature in which users can click a button named "get fun food joke" and it will reveal a food joke just if the user is bored :) (especially given that it is quarantine!)
How we built it:
We split the work into frontend and backend. One of us focused on building the design for the site. The other teammate used react to connect the backend and frontend.
Challenges we ran into:
We didn't have experience using react hook and that was necessary for this project in order to do API call to the spoonacular API.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:
We finished most of our frontend and backend in the given time frame and learnt a lot of new aspects of web development!
What we learned:
We learned about react hook and making popups/modals when a button is clicked.
What's next for Cooking for Dummies:
We are thinking about adding a social aspect like a blog where users can show off their cooking creations!!
