In the beginning, I wanted to make a recipe web scraper for a user where they could input their given ingredients and get back some recipes based on the ingredients they have. Although I wasn’t able to finish to completion the webscraper itself, as parsing html or xml with C++ is not a very good time; I created a fairly simple recipe app that a user can use to find recipes with up to 5 ingredients, get those results back, and come up with recipes of their own.

I plan on working on this project over the Summer and build it out to become something actually usable.

A large source of inspiration from this project and continuance comes from my tenure in the restaurant industry. A superfluous amount of food is wasted every day and can easily be avoided. My direction with this project is to build something that a single user can use at home to prevent extra ingredients going to waste and finding new recipes based on those ingredients.
