What

cookme serves as a simple recipe holder with a no-nonsense frontend. You can visit it here:

It takes a while to load the first time, as it is on a free Heroku tier.

A user can browse recipes that have been added by the other users. Also, the user can search for ingredient(s) that he/she would like to use. If there are recipes containing them, the matching recipes will be shown. Furthermore, the user can add recipes and ingredients to his/her fridge. Once ingredients and recipes are added, the user can search the fridge for liked recipes that can be made with ingredients in the fridge.

Why

This was my first bigger project that spanned the whole stack (and then some). In retrospect, it might have been easier to just focus on one thing at a time. On the other hand, it was an excellent opportunity to write some terrible code in four languages, so it all worked out quite well.
