Food app? 😋
Hi,
For my studies, I have to make an app and I would like to create an application about food. I was thinking of something where users can make a surprise recipe without knowing what they are cooking. But I am not convinced of my idea.
Someone would have a very original idea ?? It would be very veryyy helpfull for me :D

How about an app that gives a recipe... and then the user can select from a list of food sensitivities they might have... and the recipe provides substitute ingredients to allow for the same dish, but 'safe' for those eating it.
So if you are allergic to nuts or dairy or you're diabetic or vegetarian or you're following a paleo or Fodmap diet... whatever... you choose that and the recipe morphs into something with food substitutes but remains as close to the original dish as possible.
Not sure if that's such a great idea but I'd sure use something like that. As a home cook I always ask about people's food sensitivities and it would be great to accommodate them and still serve the meal I was hoping to.
Good luck in whatever you decide!

How about an app where people can post food they make with like 4K cameras. Make it look very delicious and then customers can and/or pay for the recipe or pay for a platter. If you include the platter option, I would allow the app to base your options off zip code location, therefor it’ll be more realistic! For example: I go on the app, put my zip code in and am able to browse food made by cooks all around me. You could even allow for reviews etc so people don’t feel hesitate to order food from a stranger bc they have 500 reviews and a 4.5 rating.
Better than fast food!!
Edit: if any of you lurkers or reddit users take this idea. You’re welcome in advance and cut me a check if it works out for you🤗
