ShuffleMyFridge

RUNNER-UP AND FAVOURITE OF THE AUDIENCE!

Shuffle My Fridge will shuffle your eating habits! About 80 million people in Europe have food allergies and many of us just don't like specific ingredients in our food. This makes it difficult to find the recipes suited for you. We have found the most simple way to solve this problem. We are building a recipe search by ingredients you have at home. Instead of just including the ingredients you can also exclude the ingredients from the search results.  This is what makes us better compared to the rest of the market. Shuffle My Fridge - A revolution in recipe search. 

Team: Mārtiņš Martins Veiss (team leader), Jaan Kruusma (marketing), Marta Bondare (design), Aleksejs Mjaliks (back end), Roman Tomjak (front to back), Jānis Kadeģis (frontier and marketing)
