Problem statement :
•We all have those times when we don’t know what we could make for ourselves to eat from what we have available with us.
• Even if we do we, may not know about a new recipe that can be made from the same ingredients or an old recipe that can be made in a different way.
•A lot Users still face difficulties when it comes to finding a reliable application for making indian recipes.
•This is the problem we tried to solve by creating a platform for the best food in the world.
OUR Solutions :
To create a recipe app, we will need to implement some features that include:
The list of recipes – the main part of your app.
Step-by-step guides to help people in cooking.
Some personalization features: this may include profiles, bookmarks, the ability to upload own recipes .
Our product will have voice recognition system which will allow user to easily pause, play and stop the video.
Our app will display missing ingredients which are required for cooking.
When a user has limited ingredients he can get suggestion from our app as to how he can use them to make the closest possible recipe.(Preferably for bachelors).
