Quotes:
32 | Event Manager | NYC
Inspire & instruct, I need both.
I get home from work and want to find a recipe based on what I already have in my fridge.
Goals & Needs:
Hates scrolling through phone with messy hands
Wants grocery list to dictate recipe
Hates when device screen goes dark in the middle of a recipe
Hates wasting food
Project Statement:
People who want to reference a quick recipe need a way to view steps and ingredient quantities without their screen timing out because it allows for more effective preparation and display of instructions.
We believe that by enabling a timer and a microphone, we will achieve a more effective display of the recipe.
We will know this to be true when users can carry out a recipe without having to touch the screen or refer back to a separate ingredient list.
