About the Project

Any Chef is a UX design project focused on creating a recipe app that combines categorized search and social media-style features. The name "Any Chef" reflects the belief that anyone who prepares their own meals is a chef. The app is designed to empower users to share, discover, and engage with recipes in an intuitive and community-driven platform.

The project emphasized delivering a user-friendly interface, social media-style interactions, and personalized search options. Special features like categorized search and "What’s in My Fridge?" allowed users to filter recipes by type, occasion, ingredients, or cuisine.
