Inspiration
With the tight budget of a college student and food prices on the rise, careful meal planning is practically a necessity. That's why I thought I could make use of the World Bank's data of commodity pricing to make tool to do this most effectively.
What it does
This tool is simply a catalogue of recipes, accessible through a web app, making use or international price indices for different food groups to give accurate cost estimates for ingredients in 122 different countries.
How we built it
The first half of the project was sourcing the data needed. This was mainly webscraping for recipes and ingredient lists and loading that data, along with the World Bank data, into a local database. Then, a simple web app was built on top using Flask.
