Building FoodSaver: use ingredients first, waste less — feedback welcome

by•

Use perishable ingredients first. Reuse the same ingredients across different meals. Keep recipes varied while making more of the food you already have.

That’s the idea behind FoodSaver, the next step I’m developing for MealLivra.

The current working prototype includes planning rules for reusing ingredients, prioritizing perishable foods, and avoiding fresh ingredients needed for just one meal. I’m now working toward a fuller FoodSaver experience.

You can watch the continuous prototype demonstration here:

The Kickstarter campaign has been approved, and the pre-launch page is now live. If you’d like to follow its development, click “Notify me on launch”. There’s no payment at this stage:

I’d love to hear your thoughts: what makes it hardest for you to use up ingredients at home, remembering what you have, deciding what to cook, or using everything before it spoils?
