Inspiration
I was sitting idle and browsing youtube and got across a video that had 100 ways to cook an egg. I found it quite amusing and started watching it. My father was watching from the back and said to me this is of no use the guy is only cooking the egg. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody showed many recipes when you have only a single ingredient? The idea was good and I was also amused I started browsing whether or not there is an API that could fetch me recipes on the basis of an ingredient only. I found it did my best what I could be a basic web developer. I hope you all will like it
What it does
Meal Ingredientlink is a web app that basically serves the purpose of finding your recipes targeted on a single ingredient itself. I started this as a fun project as my father gave me an idea related to it. And it serves its purpose really well.
How we built it
It is built using basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The functioning of the website is basically dependent on the API which it runs. It fetches all the possible recipes of that ingredient in one place and provides both the recipe in word and a link to the video which has a go through of how it is prepared as well
Challenges we ran into
Being a basic web developer everything that I did was creating a problem but later on. I felt that being my first project I have to go all out which I did and ended up with whatever is there. But the first and the foremost problem was how to find some API that serves the purpose itself.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The complete project is itself an accomplishment and I am really proud of it. Besides the problem faced and the outcome which came out definitely looks like how I imagined it to be. And for a web developer what could be better than being in the same shape which I imagined it to be. And that is what I am proud of.
What we learned
I learned quite a lot of things in this duration because of being a basic web designer. I got to learn about advanced Javascript, Sass (Advanced CSS) and knowledge of API building and fetching as well. It was a roller coaster of success and failure and even a lot of learnings as well.
What's next for Meal Ingredient
I intend to create a version of it integrated with cooking bots in order to build an automated food making machine. For which I need to learn both AI and Machine learning. Which I will and create such a machine which would be one of its kind
