Specification

Our team aims to create a programme that is geared towards food lovers looking to make delicious, nutritious foods right in their kitchen.

• The programme is able to match users to recipes based on a series of their preferences. Matches may be made based on likes/ dislikes, dietary restrictions and more. If no preferences is provided, these matches may also be made randomly.
• Recommendations are done by filtering recipes from our database using the preferences provided to find the recipe that is the best match.
• In the programme, users can :
  • create folders of recipes that they would like to save, that is, create their own personal recipe book.
  • create groups where they can view recipes that fit everyones' preferences, as well as, share the recipes they like to members of a group.
  • create their own recipes and upload it to the database
  • rate recipes that they have tried
  • view recipes sorted by rating or by servings
  • view racipes filtered by dietary restrictions or preferences
  • view their most recommended recipes
• The programme also plans to have a feature where data from all users can be aggregated, analysed and be presented in the form of:
  • most popular recipes in certain categories
  • recipes rising in popularity
