Make a Match
Interviews: Users wanted to plan meals, but ended up getting bored with the meals they make ahead of time or wasting food or leftover ingredients.
Usability Testing: More than half of our participants had positive feelings regarding the Match Feature.
"It will definitely be useful. I feel that's one of the main issues having a lot of ingredients go to waste if the are not used in a timely manner. But with this feature you can actually reuse the ingredients and not go to waste."

"This was really cool! I try to do this in my head but obviously way harder and more work."
