LITERATURE SURVEY:
1. Recipe apps have become increasingly popular over the years, as more people turn to
technology to help them plan meals, grocery shop, and cook at home. In this literature
survey, we will explore some of the research and publications on recipe apps, their
features, and their impact on user behavior.

2. "Using Technology to Encourage Healthy Eating: A Review of the Literature"

(Koenigstorfer, Groeppel-Klein, 2014)
This study reviews the literature on the effectiveness of technology-based interventions for
promoting healthy eating habits. The authors highlight the potential benefits of recipe
apps, including their ability to provide personalized meal planning, grocery lists, and
nutritional information.

3. "Recipe apps as a source of food literacy education: A critical review" (Gibbs, Kus, 2017)
This critical review examines the use of recipe apps as a tool for food literacy education.
The authors argue that while recipe apps can be useful for learning about food and
cooking, they may also perpetuate narrow or problematic understandings of food and
nutrition.
 4. "Designing personalized recipe recommendation system using deep learning" (Kang, Lee,
2018)
This research paper proposes a personalized recipe recommendation system based on deep
learning algorithms. The authors argue that such a system could improve the user
experience of recipe apps by providing more relevant and personalized recipe
suggestions."The effects of meal planning with a grocery list on food variety and dietary
quality" (McCrory, Skov, 2018) This study examines the impact of meal planning with a
grocery list on food variety and dietary quality. The authors suggest that recipe apps that
incorporate grocery list features can help users plan healthier and more varied meals.

5. "Cooking with technology: Exploring the use of smart kitchens and food blogs for meal
preparation" (Hagen, Hibbert, 2019) This research paper explores the role of technology in
cooking and meal preparation, including the use of recipe apps. The authors suggest that
recipe apps can help users overcome barriers to cooking at home, such as lack of time or
expertise.

Overall, these studies suggest that recipe apps have the potential to improve the user experience
of meal planning and preparation, promote healthier eating habits, and provide food literacy
education. However, it is important to consider the potential limitations and biases of these
apps, and to continue to research their impact on user behavior and outcomes.

recommendations based on users' preferences, dietary needs, and cooking skills. By
leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, recipe apps can
provide more accurate and relevant recipe suggestions to users.

2. Social sharing and collaboration: Recipe apps can incorporate more social sharing and
collaboration features, such as allowing users to share their own recipes, comment on
others' recipes, and connect with other users who have similar food preferences or
dietary needs. This can create a sense of community and make cooking and eating
more social and enjoyable.

sustainability and ethical considerations into their design and content, by promoting
recipes that use environmentally friendly and ethical ingredients, and offering tips for
reducing food waste.

4. Integration with smart kitchen appliances: As smart kitchen appliances become more
prevalent, recipe apps can integrate with these devices to provide a more seamless
cooking experience. For example, recipe apps could provide cooking instructions that
are tailored to specific appliances, or allow users to control their appliances directly
from the app.
