Leo's Kitchen

Leo's Kitchen

Inspiration

Our team was inspired by food, social media systems, and the mascot of Revolution UC 2025, Leo.

What it does

We created Leo’s Kitchen, a website that is like social media for sharing recipes. The user can access the website and create a profile, post and view the homepage of posted recipes, like and save recipes, access a chatbot, and view our about us page.

How we built it

We created our code with python and used streamlit framework to format our site. We first created the homepage and then added the sidebar with 7 more pages: About, Chatbot, Login, Meal feed, Profile, Recipe details, and share your meal. We each individually developed each page with the respective different aspects and then combine all of the codes and debugged from there.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into many challenges along the way, namely with creating and accessing a database. The database was what we spent the majority of the time trying to understand and debug, we struggled getting it to recognize and display pictures as well as collecting and properly storing data. We also ran into some struggles using new software like GitHub.

Accomplishments we are proud of

We have invested a significant amount of time into this project and we are extremely proud of having developed a chatbot, a posting interface, and of the entirety of Leo’s Kitchen.

What we learned

We all gained more knowledge about coding from both one another and a plethora of YouTube tutorials. We learned some of sqllite3 and know a little more about databases. We all now know just how much time and effort goes into creating a website and have gained a newfound appreciation. We also got to experience working in a team and collaborating on a project that we are all proud of.

What’s next for Leo’s Kitchen

If given the opportunity, we would be interested in expanding Leo’s kitchen with more features such as: a calendar feature to allow for meal planning, a recipe reviewing system, a notes section on the recipe posting page, the ability to follow other user accounts, and an auto ingredient buyer that is similar to an Amazon storefront.
