Inspiration

We were inspired by the rich culinary traditions of the Himalayan region and the desire to preserve these recipes in a way that's accessible to the modern world.

What it does

The Himalayan Food and Recipes Portal is a web app that shares traditional recipes from the Himalayan region. Users can explore a variety of dishes with step-by-step cooking instructions and ingredient lists. The platform also allows users to contribute their own recipes, cooking tips, and cultural insight.

How we built it

  • React w/ Vite.
  • Mantine: A React library that we’ve used for designing and styling the app.
  • Firebase: For backend services, such as Firestore for database management and Firebase Auth for user authentication
  • Netlify: To host the website.

Features

  • Authentication( Login / Register)
  • View / Search / Rate Recipes
  • Add Recipes
  • Favorite Recipes
  • View Profile

Challenges we ran into

  1. Time Management: Balancing the development of core features with the need to create a polished presentation was a constant challenge.
  2. Pushing and Pulling Repos: Pushing our changes and loading the changes in was a temporary challenge we faced.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of successfully creating a functional platform that allows users to explore, share, and preserve Himalayan recipes. Implementing features like recipe searching, favoriting, and the ability to add personal recipes were significant milestones.

What we learned

  1. Collaboration: Working together on Github, resolving merge conflicts and communicating effectively.
  2. Efficiency: Focusing on the core functionality allowed us to deliver a more polished website in a limited amount of time.
