Problem statement

It's dinner time ! Create an application that helps users find the most relevant recipes that they can prepare with the ingredients that they have at home

Objective

Deliver an application prototype to answer the above problem statement.

By prototype, we mean:

• something usable, yet as simple as possible
• UI / design is not important
• we do not expect features which are outside the basic scope of the problem

We expect to use this prototype as a starting point to discuss current implenentation details, as well as ideas for improvement.

Tech must-haves

• MySQL / PostgreSQL or any other MySQL-compatible database.
• A backend application which responds to queries
• A web interface (can be VERY simple)
• Ruby on Rails (if you're not familiar with Ruby on Rails, use something you're familiar with)

Bonus points

• React
• Application is hosted on fly.io

Data

We provide two datasets to choose from:

• french-language recipes scraped from www.marmiton.org with python-marmiton
• english-language recipes scraped from www.allrecipes.com with recipe-scrapers

Download it with this command if the above link doesn't work:

wget https://pennylane-interviewing-assets-20220328.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/recipes-en.json.gz && gzip -dc recipes-en.json.gz > recipes-en.json

Deliverable

• the 2-3 user stories which the application implements
• the codebase : in a git repo (share it with @quentindemetz @tdeo @rpechayr @soyoh @alex-min @karineHbt @Juleffel @lucasbonin)
• the database structure
• the application, running on fly.io or on a personal server.
