Virtual Pantry

Project Description

Virtual Pantry's Goal

The Virtual Pantry app serves as a convenient and simple way to help all individuals cook at home without worrying about what to cook or what ingredients they have on hand. The app includes a grocery list functionality that will store ingredients that the user intends to purchase on their next shopping trip. When shopping, users can swipe away items that they pick up, which will automatically be added to the pantry to be used in recipes. It also includes a search function that will search the web for relevant recipes that use ingredients on hand with a multitude of search criteria such as cuisine type. A recipe of the day is displayed on the home screen to let users explore new flavor combinations and food types that they may not have tried before. An in-app recipe step display makes following a new recipe simple, and a like/favorite option makes it easy to keep track of enjoyable recipes made before. Users will also make their own unique profile on the app that will store information such as dietary preferences or allergies, which the recipe search will take into account when searching for recipes. The combination of all these functionalities along with a simple, user-focused interface creates a streamlined experience for any passionate home cook that will assist them in all their culinary needs.
