Kitchen Geek

Recalculating recipe servings can be time-consuming. A recipe may offer a large serving but you want less. And vice versa.

Kitchen Geek helps people discover recipes based on available ingredients, resize servings, and tracks needed ingredients.

Server Features

This server allows the Kitchen Geek client to store, read, delete and check for bookmarked recipes.

• All data is stored in a JSON file
• The client interacts with the JSON file through an API made with Node and Express.
