MyChef is an application that helps you decide what meal to make based on what you have at home. Simply enter in ingredients you have at home and get back tasty plant-based recipes from top recipe websites.
FYI: an installation of docker and docker-compose is required to run the application.
Define .env configuration in root directory of project to develop locally:
POSTGRES_USER=mychef
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mychef
POSTGRES_DB=mychef_db
POSTGRES_HOST=db
