About

Smart Spoon is a monthly print cookbook delivered directly to your home, synced with a companion app for a streamlined experience. It provides daily recipes for every day of the month, eliminating the need for meal planning.

Each recipe includes detailed nutritional information as well as the cost per serving, allowing for more informed decisions. A convenient scan-to-sync feature also enables users to scan a page in the cookbook and instantly access the recipe within the app.

Research

To begin this project, I conducted research to better understand my target audience.

Target Audience:

  • Limited budgets often lead to compromises in food quality

  • Difficulty in preparing healthy meals without overspending

After Research Conclusions

  • Weekly Meal Planner

  • Cost and Nutritional Information

  • Simple Recipes

  • Grocery/Ingredient List

  • Minimalist

Methods & Action Plan

  • Etic Observations

  • Surveys/Interviews

  • Visual Materials

Goal

Develop a weekly meal planning tool featuring cost-effective, easy-to-follow recipes, each clearly presenting pricing, nutritional information, and ingredient lists. The design should be minimal, appealing to a wide range of users.
