SousChef

Our inspiration

When cooking in the kitchen and using an online recipe as a guide, it is difficult to follow along and can be messy. Through using sous-chef, you can focus on cooking and spend less time on your computer, as the steps are displayed one-by-one, so there is no need to navigate through a cluttered recipe just to see what your next step is.

What we learned

Most of our team members were inexperienced with using java script and html. Through building this project we were able to expand our skillsets and learn a new language. Additionally, we were able to learn how to utilize APIs.

How we built sous-chef

We used express routing with JavaScript and connected to the spoonacular API using axios. Our front-end is composed of HTML and CSS with Bootstrap.

Challenges we faced

Some challenges we faced were trying to use voice recognition to allow the user to read the steps out loud using voice commands such as "next", "go back", etc.

What's Next for SousChef

SousChef aims to be fully hands-off once you click "Start". This will improve convenience since cooking is sometimes a messy process. To do this, we aim to incorporate DeepSpeech (uses Tensorflow) through WebSockets.
