The aim is for users to research new meal recipes on the web app so they can follow along and attempt cooking them. It provides the means to find a selection of healthy recipes, with an ingredient list and a list of instructions. This web app has been designed for adults, over 18 years old, who enjoy cooking at home because they want control over the type of healthy meals they consume.
