Inspiration

We wanted to create a social network that was educational, yet tied together a community of fun and unique individuals. We also know friends that enjoy cooking and could potentially use this app.

What it does

Spice It Up is a mobile (iOS) app that allows spontaneous individuals to gain cooking recipes from around the world. Within the app, you can submit your own recipes, rate other meals, bookmark your favorite dishes, and more. The webpage portion of the project displays a home page, profile page, product pages, and initial login/sign up pages. Upon creation of an account, you will have access to an enthusiastic community of foodies and education tutorials on how to make your next masterpiece.
