Inspiration

We decided to tackle an issue that many people face every day- What do I cook for dinner tonight? Lots of folks think they can't cook, or get stuck in a rut of cooking the same 5 meals week in, week out, so we decided to make a website the will generate random recipes in order to spark inspirations and encourage people to try new things in order to expand their cooking abilities.

What it does

This website generates a random recipe, ingredients, title, and instructions included!

How we built it

We used HTML and bootstrap to make the webpage and js to write the script for randomly generating possible recipes. We also attempted a database with postgres.

Challenges we ran into

It turns out that we were unable to setup any hosting capabilities due to time constraints and ability levels, which seriously hampered our program's ability to draw data from our library of JSON recipes, meaning that we had to settle for a façade of a prototype rather than a holistic solution.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're real fond of our names we came up with, it was also fantastic pushing ourselves to learn and create despite the lack of support networks or curriculums like you would see in a classroom setting.

What we learned

We learned that its very difficult to get python to work with HTML and that we know far less than we ever thought we did. We learned a lot about javascript as well as the ways that JSON communicates with other file formats. Overall it has been a fantastic learning experience for all of us!
