Desk Research

During my desk research this week, I found a website very similar to what we had talked about designing as a solution to the food knowledge/meal planning/food waste problem. It's minus a few features, but it covers enough of them that we are going to look in other directions for a food sustainability problem to solve. The website is called Love Food, Hate Waste, and it's pretty cool.

In addition to being a slick, beautiful interface, Love Food Hate Waste has a bevy of neat tools.



They have a portion calculator that allows you to select what foods you are making













then how many people you are cooking for










And then tells you how much of each item you need!









They also offer a recipe search based on what ingredients you need to use up in your fridge,









tips on how to store, freeze, and revive foods,







as well as meal planners and advice for saving both time and money by appropriately stocking and using the food in your kitchen.
