ChopSnap

ChopSnap helps people cook Nigerian meals with the ingredients they already have, within their budget. Many households struggle to decide what to cook from what is in the kitchen, and end up spending money on extra food or wasting what they have. The user takes a photo of a fridge, shelf or counter, types ingredients, or speaks them. The app lists the detected ingredients and asks the user to confirm and correct them, because vision can make mistakes. The user then sets the number of people, budget, spice level, cooking fuel, dietary preferences (such as no pork or halal) and city. ChopSnap suggests Nigerian dishes that use what the user already has, shows the estimated cost of anything still to buy and whether the meal fits the budget, builds a shopping list, and walks the user through each recipe in a step-by-step Cook mode with timers. Recipes can be shared on WhatsApp. Voice instructions such as "N3,000 for four people, no pork"are turned into settings. Voice in languages other than English is experimental.
