Dieter Ramble

The app with working title as Dieter Ramble, is an app that basically is a dynamic recipe app for cooking by yourself.

Remember your grandmother’s cookbook? She spent most of her life raising children and grand children. And by the time that you just started to remember anything at all. Your favorite dishes, or your sibling’s or even your parents are all recorded in a hand written small book. That dynamic of trial and errors combined with love and absolutely a lot of time goes into curating those ingredient just for you. The taste to be called ‘home’.

Inspired by Flipboard, the recipe is not curated by the admin or need to search to specific menu by yourself but it will automatically curate the menu depends on user’s input of:

  • participants > who is eating? what are their feedback from last time? Oh this guy can’t handle spicy food? ok no more spicy next time he join us!
  • favorite dish and style > it can suggest similar menu and variation that you can try next time you cook.
  • local availability of the ingredient > you can input your local ingredients to the system so that it can take you to the menu that use those. it will also ask you to look for new ingredient every once in a while. so that your taste range expand.
  • nutrient > balance meal is hard to find on any cookbook, the app will help you consider if you have a main dish in mind what is the best/ easiest possible side dish to go along with it.
  • allergy > it can provide alternative ingredient/ menu that avoid using those ingredient that the participants allergic from so that they can have their meal with ease.

You can keep record and add feedback to your dish. Those review will go into account of which menu should it be for the next cooking session!
