Inspiration
As college students with a limited set of ingredients on hand, we envisioned a platform where one could go to easily figure out what to cook (especially if they are busy with school)
What it does
Provides an interface to query for particular household ingredients based on a range of values for particular nutrients, which then allows users to create their own recipes to be shared on the platform.
How we built it
The queries are sent from the webpage to our mongoDB cluster, which stores JSON entries for many ingredients (information about the quantity of nutrients per serving is available for 70+ nutrients).
Challenges we ran into
-Integrating the backend with our webpage -Cleaning the dataset
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
What's next for CookSmart
-Proper user authentication using OAuth -Adding a platform for communicating with/sharing recipes with other users as well as exploring a catalog of recipes made by other people.
