Ingredient Card Prototype

Here is the first iteration of the ingredient card prototype!



















For this we'll need to develop a consistent symbology. Right now, the little calendar is to show how long you can store it (though maybe a picture of a fridge would be better?), the shopping cart is how to select it in the store, the thermometer is to what temperature it has to be cooked to be safe to eat, and the frying pan denotes good cooking methods. On the back of the card, the magnifying glass gives good search terms to help people utilize the vast resources of the internet in their cooking. The colored symbols on the card would be used to find ingredients that go well with the ingredient on the card. So if I wanted to make something to eat with chicken, I would look for all the other cards with a pink heart on them, and know that those things go well with chicken.
