From the words of comedian, Mitch Hedberg, “I like rice. Rice is great if you’re hungry and want 2000 of something.” Food brings people together. In a society where people post photos of their meal and label themselves as "foodies," food is an important aspect in lives. I want to create a website where a community of food lovers share their Chinese food recipes. This way people can try new dishes and come together for their same love of food.
Foodily and Food are similar websites with similar elements that display recipes on their home pages. These websites have an established community where users can share their recipes online with others. I like how these websites make it easy for people to search and explore new recipes with the search bar and recipe icons. People are inclined to find what recipe they want and other recipes they want to try.
I would contribute to this cause by using my knowledge of the Chinese culture to help create a community of Chinese food lovers. Growing up in a Chinese household and having home cooked meals, I hope to reach out to other families, Chinese and non-Chinese, to sit down and have a nice meal together whether it be with their own recipe, another version of it, or of something totally new and exotic. I can use my family's recipes to create a foundation of the site and hope that other people would contribute and add their own family recipe to this site.
