ABSTRACT
Pocket Chef is a personalized recipe discovery and management app developed to enhance the culinary experience of users through organized access to a wide variety of dishes. The platform allows users to explore diverse meal categories such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and international cuisines while providing curated suggestions like “Recipes You May Like” based on user preferences. Built with Flutter for the frontend and Node.js for the backend, the app integrates modern design with performance, offering a seamless interface for daily meal planning and cooking inspiration. Pocket Chef includes user authentication to ensure a secure and individualized experience, where each user can manage their own profile and access features like favouriting recipes and editing personal details. A smart notification system delivers timely prompts such as recipe updates or grocery reminders, and the user interface supports both light and dark modes for enhanced usability. The app is structured for scalability, with organized navigation tools like a bottom nav bar, a top menu for settings and logout, and a responsive search bar. Altogether, Pocket Chef blends accessibility, personalization, and efficiency into a centralized digital platform for everyday cooking.
