This Week in Food
tl;dr
- I conceptualized, designed, and developed the app.
- This Week in Food has been running for 5 years, providing free meal planning and shopping list services to a “hungry” user base.
My wife and I enjoy cooking but we don’t like the work that goes into planning our meals. Our recipes were scattered across cookbooks, binders, and bookmarks in web browsers. Each week we found ourselves picking through those recipes in an attempt to cobble together a meal plan for the next 5 days. It was tedious, and more often than not, led to recycling the same 3 or 4 recipes out of sheer laziness. Certainly not a formula for inspired eating.
This Week in Food consolidates the best recipes, while making meal plan and grocery list creation dead simple. For five years it’s served a modest but loyal user base.
