Cookbook

Status Quo/Problem

We all like to cook. Currently all our recepies are located on different tabs in our browsers or in different cooking books. For the purpose of collecting all these different recepies, we thought of an application.

The project

Vision

We want to enable people to create their own cookbook, like Granny did.

Mission

With our application it will be possible to collect recipes from all sorts of different sources in a personalised cookbook.
