CookBook
Human Computer Interaction
Professor Rob Jacob
Spring, 2025
As part of a semester-long Human–Computer Interaction course, my team researched, designed, prototyped, and tested CookBook, an AI-powered cooking application for young, tech-savvy home chefs. CookBook provides personalized recipes, grocery list assistance, and social features. The app blends utility and connection, helping users not only cook smarter but also share and learn together.
