## Inspiration College students don't have much to work with when it comes to making food. Maybe they'll have salami, a pint of ice cream, or some grapes, but what can they make with that? We set out to answer that question. ## What it does YouChef takes in a list of your ingredients and returns to you a list of recipes that you can most easily make given the things you already have. With clean UI, it displays an image of the food you can make that acts as a link to the website the recipe's from, what dish type it is, the ingredients needed, and the instructions. ## How we built it We created YouChef by talking to an API called Recipe - Food - Nutrition on RapidAPI that has a host of information having to do with things from measurements of ingredients to wine pairings. We picked and chose what information we wanted from it and used a subset of the API to assign to variables for each dish/recipe. When the user would write in their ingredients their input would be put into the API and it would find recipes with that ingredient in it. With this we then created a variable amount of recipes to be returned and displayed using HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript. ## Challenges we ran into Getting the API's information to populate each box for the recipes without errors. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of Getting the UI to come together to give our code behind the scenes some credibility. ## What we learned How to approach using a complicated API using Javascript and a React framework. ## What's next for YouChef.io We hope to expand to make it more clean and accurate.
