Inspiration

We wanted to create an app that would potentially cut down on food waste in the world.

What it does

Users can add items they want to use in their "basket", then, using the ingredients in the basket the app will return recipes the user can make with them.

How we built it

We used react-native for the app development and a Food API for the data.

Challenges we ran into

Many of us had not used react-native prior to this hackathon so trying to overcome the learning curves it brings was a big hurdle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to create a working and finished product. We all learned something new and are proud that we were able to overcome some major obstacles.

What we learned

We all learned about react-native, fetching data via an API and CSS

What's next for Le Cook (230-4)

Being so limited on time, we weren't able to realize all of our ideas. We definitely want to add a filter to the recipes and provide the users with more nutritional information seamlessly inside the app rather than using a link to view that information.
