#MyCookbook

##General Assembly WDI May 30, Project 1

##Overview

MyCookbook is a web application that allows users to compile their very own "Cookbook" using recipes gathered through either (a) form-based submission (for family or personal recipes), or (b) a search of hundreds of thousands of recipes using BigOven's API. Users also can use the Grocery List feature to compile a shopping list using the ingredients from selected recipes in their Cookbook. Please sign up for full functionality, as back-end authentication was a focus on this project.

MyCookbook was developed for a project for the April 2014 Web Development Immersive course at General Assembly. It was developed over a week-long sprint to model the agile software development process.
