Class group projectAug 2022 – Dec 2022
Problem
Young people looking to expand their cooking knowledge have to work in a variety of separate interfaces to complete the tasks necessary for home cooking. This can discourage people from preparing food at home. The separation of processes and information creates barriers between food planning, acquisition, and preparation that can discourage individuals from cooking.
