Are you feeling hungry

I love cooking and eating, especially eating :). However, I've always struggled with coming up with something new to cook. I needed an inspiration and I decided to look inside my pantry for one. Therefore, I decided to come up with my own app that looks for exciting new recipes based on the content of your pantry.

Being a personal project I tried to keep the cost of development to zero. I've used a free recipe API that allows users to query their database based on a list of items, in my case it was a list of pantry items or ingredients. For persistence I deiced to abandon Core Data and try out Realm for the first time. For those who don't know what Realm is, it is a free cross platform persistent storage technology that is much simpler to use and implement than CoreData. It has its pitfalls but overall I had no issues getting to work.

For the UI I used Sketch which is a tool for UI design.
