Inspiration

Managing your kitchen is difficult. Struggle to remember what is in your pantry? Buy too much, or forget an ingredient? Enjoying delicious food at home should not be a hassle.

We want you to:

• Feel in control of your kitchen.
• Know what you have without opening the fridge.
• Cook new dishes and old favourites with what you already have, to fit your mood, without a second grocery trip.
• Easily maintain your grocery lists and know exactly what you need.

What it does

Stockpot is your all-in-one kitchen tool.

• Add and update groceries in plain words.
• See what will expire soon.
• Get recipes based on your shelves and your mood.
• Save your favourite recipes.
• Add a recipe's missing ingredients or used-up items to your shopping list in a click.
• Ask the cook for suggestions in a chat.
• Add kitchen notes to personalize suggestions.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• The project ties together all parts of a running kitchen: shopping, tracking, and cooking.
• The project is simple and user-friendly.

What we learned

• Small details are necessary for user-friendliness, such as adding Undo options.
