Inspiration

Almost everyday as a college student struggling to get meals in, I am always left with the thought of what to make for meals. I might have ingredients in the fridge, but won't know what to do with them. However, this can change with our program

What it does

We built a program that reads in the Epicurious recipe database which has multiple functions that gives out recipes and the ingredients and instructions on how to make them. We also used the CalorieNinja API to determine calories and macronutrients of the recipes.

How we built it

We used python to build all the functions, and react to build the website interface.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge that we ran into was trying to merge the python script and the react website. We weren't able to do this properly since the python to javascript converter had some errors.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the website design as well as the python script and API we used to get results.

What we learned

We learned how to use an API in our code and learnt a bit of react

What's next for CookingCat

We will try to merge the python script and the website more effectively since that is our main problem right now
