Initial Motivation

Preparing for an event can be challenging, from organizing ingredients for each dish and keeping track of guests' preferences and dietary restrictions to ensuring that every meal is perfectly cooked. The process is often overwhelming, leaving room for stress and overlooked details. Recognizing these pain points, I wanted to design an app that provides practical solutions and is intuitive and enjoyable to use, offering a refreshing and inspiring experience every time users open it.

Homepage

The homepage is designed to spark inspiration. With curated categories like "Party," "Vegan," and "Brunch," you can quickly discover recipes based on your needs. The For You section is personalized based on your browsing history, offering ideas that match your interests. Scrolling further, you'll find individual courses that allow you to customize and create a unique recipe that fits your style. Finally, the Video Recipe section provides a refreshing alternative to text-based instructions, offering step-by-step video guides to help you master your dishes.

Custom Recipe

The "Custom Recipe" feature simplifies meal planning by allowing you to select multiple courses and build your unique recipe sets. Once the selection is complete, you can finalize details, such as scheduling or tagging the recipe with relevant categories for future use.

Recipe Set

Instead of starting from scratch, you can choose a pre-made recipe set that suits your needs. Once you've made your selection, simply swipe left or right to view step-by-step instructions for each course, making sure everything is just right. If the system spots a potential allergen in the recipe, a helpful pop-up will notify you. With the Allergy Detection feature, you can easily swap out the problematic course for a safe and tasty alternative.

Switch Course feature

Building on the previous actions, you have now landed on the Switch Course page. Here, you can swap any course from your selected recipe set for one that better suits your preferences, dietary needs, or available ingredients. The changes will be saved and will take you to the updated recipe page.
